Geek Chic Mini Notepad Covers

Hi, everybody! Suzanne here with you today, and I have some "geek chic" mini notepad covers to share with you!

I found 3-packs of mini notepads at an office supply store and I customized each one with a different cover that I made with some of my Lawn Fawn stamps and papers. Here's a closer look at one of the finished covers and another open cover with the notepad inside.

The finished project is slightly smaller than a standard A2 sized card (they measure 3.75" wide by 5.5" high when folded). For this size notepad, I made the cover out of a a strip of card stock measuring 3.75" wide by 11" long.

I used stamps from the Clear To See set and paper from the Let's Polka Mon Amie petite paper pack to make this notepad cover:

I made the other two covers with stamps from Science of Love. The papers are from the Sweater Weather and Beachside petite paper packs.

I hope you enjoyed my project and are inspired to make some of your own mini notepad covers! I like to keep mini notepads on hand, and make these as gifts. (To complete the gift, I include a cute pen or mechanical pencil with the notepad.)

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful weekend! A new Lawnscaping Challenge starts on Monday, so make sure you stop by the blog to check it out!

Handmade notebooks!

Hello Lawnscapers!!

Happy Saturday!! 
It's Lenny from the FIT here with you today!
Last month, I made some Post-it note holders and now I decided to make some 
matching notebooks. 
Not really matchy matchy, because for the Post-it note holders, I used some
Lawnfawndamental notecards ... but there aren't any coordinating patterned papers.
The notebooks look the same though, but they are bigger than the Post-it note holders.

Here are some photos . . .

For a book list ... ?

Small travel journal ... 

I used some 12X12 patterned papers and cut them to this size: 
15.2 cm x 30.5 cm  (in inches: 5.9 x 12) 
I scored at 14 cm (5.5 inch) and then at 28 cm (11 inch).
After you fold the notebook, it's easier when you cut a strip from the front cover,
that way the little flap on the right side will fold over better. 
I used some computer paper for the inside; size: 14 cm x 24 cm (5.5 inch x 9.4)
