Easy Note Pad

Today I decided to make a pretty little note pad for myself. I like making lists and lately I’ve been looking around my desk and finding them all used up! To fix this problem, I just designed a pretty little paper, three to a page with digital scrapbooking products by Shabby Miss Jenn, the papers and elements are in her Pumpkinville kit. I love the black and cream paper with the pretty scrolly designs, so I used that for my border and a note paper with a little texture on it for the upper part to write the list onto. I added a little trim and a button to it just because I like how it looks.

I printed these then cut them little note papers out. I printed 15 sheets on five pages of card stock. The sheets are 3.25 inches wide by 7.75 inches long.

 

I then cut a strip of red paper 3.25 inches long by 3.5 inches wide. I used the Martha Stewart scalloped edge cutter that I bought at Walmart to make a decorative edge for the front and left the back straight. I then scored two folds just 1/4 inch from one another right in the middle and folded the paper. I punched two evenly placed holes 1.5 inches apart through the front and back of the folded red paper. I used the punched holes to measure my note papers and then punched two holes in the top of the note papers.

  

After aligning the note papers with the red top paper I threaded the ribbon through, added the charm and tied a pretty bow. I also added a clear rhinestone to the top of the bow just to make it a little more girly.

 

This is a quick project that can be customized to coordinate with anyone’s office decor or can be made as a little gift.
