Notepad covers






Some notepad covers I've done. (Sorry for the weird lighting and stuff, I'm not a photographer by any means!)

This one was made for my sister Liz:  Hot pink 3x3 Post-Its with striped pink cover and pink flower, with 'faith' sticker added. 



A similar notepad made for my friend Jadee, for her first day back to school: Lime green 3x3 Post-Its with striped pink cover and pink flower.  The letter stickers were silver, so I used silver ink on the edges of the flower and the butterfly (MS butterfly punch = love it!)
Another back to school one, for my friend Toni who is a professor at a local college.  So simple to make with a $1 notepad from the craft store and some cardstock scraps!  Butterfly with the MS punch again, inked and quilled antenna added, and one of my favorite flowers, with quilled stamen.



This one was a Christmas gift for my sister Jenna.  Black is her favorite color, so i thought she'd like this.  Another hot pink 3x3 post-it pad, covered with textured black cardstock.  The flower came out great with a silver and black paper as the base and the black and white over it.  I added the hot pink quilling paper in the center to match the notepad, but it needed a little something else and the quilled heart was perfect. 

Last one, I promise!  I made this one for my mom for Christmas.  It's a blue 3x3 post-it pad, but I didn't have any matching cardstock that I liked with it.  I ended up using plain cardstock that I glued patterned scrapbook paper to before cutting and folding and it worked great.  Quilled butterfly and heart added and it was a very simple project.

I'm thinking I might make a whole bunch of these and stock up in case I decide to do the holiday craft fair at work this year.  I think this might sell pretty good in cubical land!
