Altered Junior Notepad

I saw this great tutorial on Mish Mash's blog (<------ Click Here to Check it Out-scroll down a bit). I finally got some notepads and had a chance to make one last night - very quick and easy. THAT I like!

I gave this to my dear friend today...and the inside shows the purse card I made earlier this week that is "so her".You can see when you open the cover up that there is a small pocket on the left-hand side. Perfect for holding coupons, stamps, envelopes to mail, etc. Great little notepad for the grocery list and then put all your coupons on the left-hand side, wouldn't that be snazzy? The top of the junior notepad is covered with decorative packing tape - it has polka dots, just like the outside paper!

The outside of the holder has the word "friendship"; I think the picture below shows that a bit better. There are also 4 pink jewels in each corner which this picture shows better (click on any picture to get an up-close view). I colored the huggybellas with a combination of crayons, markers and odorless mineral spirits.

I can't wait to make a few more of these; they were fun and have endless possibilities.

Thanks for stopping by; have a great weekend. Hugs, ~M.
