Made It Myself

One thing I tried lately and had fun doing is making note pads/ scratch pads.  I made a couple and my granddaughters thought they were so fun, I helped them make some too for school.
 I have a ton of old paper for printing that I cut up into fourths.  The padding compound (mine is from the Kraft Outlet) is easy to use - just brush on a few layers.  While it dried, I made the cover.  The musical page is a digital image that I reduced to the correct size.  "Just a note" is super imposed onto the page before printing. It measures 4 1/4" X 5 1/4
 

The black cardstock is cut 4 1/4 X 7 1/2 which gives a flap that can be glued onto the chipboard back.

Here is a side view and an inside view.

I showed this (and the other one I made) to my hubby and he immediately claimed this one as his own!
It really is a great size to keep on the desk next to the computer.
Great way to use up all the printing paper that I will never use in the printer.
