For my project, I've used Top Dog Dies' A2 Card #1 Die to create
a rather handy and elegant notebook.
An Elegant Notebook
Authentique and Top Dog Dies are teaming up over the next week
to bring you tons of inspiration using Authentique Paper and Top Dog Dies products!
a rather handy and elegant notebook.
Notebooks make great little gifts to have on hand...and they're so easy
and quick to put together. Here's a look at the die that I've used:

I started by cutting the shape from a mat board, although any type of heavy
chipboard would work just fine. Next, cut two different patterned papers from the

Cut all pieces along the score lines so that you have three different sections for the
mat board and patterned papers. Set aside.

First we will assemble the bottom flap of the notebook.
Have the rectangular base and one rounded piece of mat board on hand.
For the bottom flap: cut a strip of paper the same width as the mat board and at least 1" high.
Score at the 1/4" and 3/4" marks and fold as shown above. Adhere the scored flaps
to the base of the mat board and the bottom flap of the matboard.

I found that using my Xyron Creative Station worked perfectly for this.
Punch holes along the top pieces (as shown above) using a Cinch or Bind-It-All.

Cut notebook paper or copy paper to fit the inside of the notebook; punch matching holes
at the top of the papers. Bind together with a metal or plastic comb.

With the pieces assembled, we now have a bound notebook!
For the front, I used Top Dog Dies' Heart Doily Dies and the Classique: Elegant papers.

Hey, Smarty Pants
A happy Wednesday, friends!
I have a couple of things on hand today that I made to share at
SIMPLE STORIES
While perusing the 'decorate-your-locker' aisle with my daughter,
she stated how much she wanted a couple of magnetic organizers to hang up...
my thought immediately went to Smarty Pants and how I could adapt
her ideas into things I could make at home!
First up is a very simple steno-styled notebook.
I made this using a sheet of medium weight chipboard that I cut into two 4" X 6" strips.
Next, I cut four pieces of patterned paper to the same size as the chipboard and attached
to each side with a strong adhesive (I love Sookwang double-sided adhesive).
For the front cover you can choose from a variety of designs and sizes of journal cards.
Layer on stickers and add a few brads or other decorative pieces to make your notebook one-of-a-kind.
The inner pages can be made up of notebook, graph or copy paper...just cut the pages down
so that they measure approximately 1/4" smaller than the actual album.
Reserve the left-over cuts of paper for the project below. Use a binding system or rings
to complete the notebook. You can also add a small magnet to the back cover
so that it can be hung inside of a locker.
Slip those extra cuts of paper from the notebook project into one of the SN@P Pockets!
Decorate the front and add a magnet to the back.
I took a wide 1" ribbon and applied it to the back of the SN@P Cuts opening with fabric glue.
This would make a sweet teacher gift that could hang on the side of a filing cabinet.
Lastly I have a card that I made for the booth at the CHA-Summer Show!
I fell in love with the cute bus motif! What a great card for those bus drivers who safely
transport our kids to and from school :)
