Mini Note Hearts


 

A bowl of mini Hearts, each with a pocket to tuck a note


I began working on these back in March of last year and set them aside. Finally finished stuffing them and added some ribbon and buttons. You can see my previous post here.  In another past post I shared info about how to make the fabric butterfly that tops the lighted tree here.

Boho Rainbow Mini Notebooks

Used this cute Boho Rainbow paper to cover these two mini notebooks I bound using The Cinch. Pages are from Echo Park Scrapbook Pad; 'Day In The Life' as well as colored cardstock and index cards cut to size. 

The square notebook is 4 inches square. The vertical flip notebook measures 3" x 4". Many of the pages I used are scrapbook pad 'cut-aparts' which are handy when making these simple notebooks.

Thought I messed up when I put the 'sideways' rainbow on... according to AI;  "The sideways boho rainbow symbolizes acceptance, diversity, and a carefree spirit, reflecting a playful and vibrant aesthetic. It encourages embracing all colors and living joyfully, often associated with creativity and uniqueness." I thought,oh, ok, good, because I liked the rainbow and didn't want to redo the cover

Horizontal Notebooks 6" x 4"

Bound these using The Cinch Bookbinder...what else!

 One is a crafty inspired colorful notebook for ideas & new projects. Used 'cut-a-parts' from 'I'd Rather Be Crafting' Echo Park Scrapbook Pad and added colored cardstock pages.

The other is a cheerful, simple monthly planner tabbed quarterly. Used Echo Park 'Day in the Life' Scrapbook Pad which had a sheet for each of the 12 months. Added 6" x 4"colored cardstock and index cards.

Both are simple, handy size notebooks to toss in your bag or keep on your desk!

Sooo Many Mini Traveler's Notebooks!

Cute! Cute! Cute!

Pulled out the Thermal Laminator to make these! 

Three sizes: 3"x4.5", 3.5"x5" and 3.75"x6"

Papers used were from Stamperia and Echo Park Scrapbook Pads.

Included in these mini TN are 'dashboards' (folders with pockets) for tags, notes, and bookmarks with some paper clips and an additional mini pen!

 I'm hooked on making these Mini Traveler's Notebooks & Cinch Bound Notebooks ...at least until the next shiny object (or project) catches my eye!
