I bought a 6 pack of these mini notebooks from Dollar Tree...
for some reason, I can't seem to stop altering things.
(No matter what I do, I can't seem to get this picture to be downloaded showing up.)
Let me show you what four of them look like now...
The chipboard embellishments came from a local dollar store...
I added ribbon that I got from Hobby Lobby...
It was so easy to make and how fun to have one in my purse to pull out when shopping.
I added a flower that I had made from left over scrapbook paper.
I added some distrezz ink to this one to make it look more vintagy.
Each notebook used less than one piece of scrapbook paper.
Another picture that wouldn't download correctly...
I used scrapbook paper to make it look like it's taped up, it turned out really cute.
If I can make these, you definitely can make them too!
The hardest part of making these, was determining what scrapbook paper to use.
Go visit your local dollar stores and pick up a few scrapbook things.
Wouldn't this be a great gift to receive?

oooo, they are so pretty! I think I might even feel prettier if I had one in my purse.
Tell us how you put the paper on, please? I'd love to know.
Oh my.... your little books are the sweetest. A few months back I was altering everything in sight too...I did the dollar store books too AND, gave them as little hello gifts! We think alike. I've just become a follower of you and hope that you will come visit me and become a follower. Your newest friend....xoso Sandy O

So sweet. I received a similar book from a client a couple of years ago and she included a pocket on the inside cover for your debit card. I loved that lil' book. Great for gifts.
So cute!!! I have a few of these in my basement, I am now inspired to work on them this weekend.
