I created these boxed sets of mini notebooks using Enchanted Botanica Scrapbook Papers from Recollections. It was a fun and simple project to use up papers from my stash of scrapbook papers. I made these 3 x 4 inch notebooks each with its own coordinating gift box.
The notebooks are simply bound with staples and filled with cream and lavender copy paper, making them quick to assemble and perfect for sweet little gifts.
I was inspired by a tutorial from The Posh Paper Lady.

The label on the chair identifies the manufacturer as Harter Corporation, of Sturgis, Michigan, a company best known for manufacturing institutional, hospital, medical, and office furniture. Harter produced seating for universities and government offices from the mid-20th century onward.
This is a swivel task/office chair manufactured approximately 1968-1980, Model 468. It has a cast aluminum four-star base, heavy-duty steel seat frame, thick vinyl upholstery and industrial construction characteristic of their office furniture. The cast aluminum 4-leg pedestal base has a swivel mechanism and heavy duty height adjustment. Molded aluminum arm supports with padded armrests with thick commercial-grade vinyl upholstery. Robust construction-built for decades of service. Love these vintage finds!

The clock belongs to Amano’s 9000 series. The production period was most likely between 1973 to 1978. It’s newer than the late-1960’s models because of the safety labeling, solenoid design, and 9000-series mechanism.
The large exposed gear is part of the clock drive train. The blue ribbon spool appears to be intact. The mechanism looks remarkably clean with no obvious corrosion or missing parts. The zinc chromate plating still has its original gold/iridescent finish, suggesting relatively little use or excellent storage conditions.
Not terribly rare, but super cool, I love vintage mechanical machines!
These vibrant boho greeting cards have been given a new life as beautiful covers for a collection of mini notebooks.
The cards were carefully glued back-to-back to create sturdy, durable covers. Several additional greeting cards were incorporated inside as decorative side pockets, attached by gluing only along the top and bottom edges for a functional and unique touch.
The horizontal notebooks feature coordinating pastel-lined index card pages, while the vertical notebooks include colorful cardstock pages with bright, tabbed dividers for added flair.

The finished size of these Matchbook Notepads is 3 inches square.
Materials:
I used off-cuts from previous projects, along with white and pastel copy paper (30 sheets for each pad). For the covers, I used scrapbook papers from Echo Park and Carta Bella. Each little notepad requires just two staples.
Making the Matchbook Notepad:
I cut the scrapbook paper to 3 inches x 7 1/8 inches. I then scored the paper at 7/8 inch, 1 inch, 4 1/8 inches, and 4 3/8 inches.
After folding along all the score lines, the cover takes shape like a little “matchbook.”
I then placed the 30 sheets of copy paper inside the cover and stapled them into the front 1/8-inch fold. Two staples, using a regular desktop stapler, are all that’s needed to secure each little pad.
Toss in your bag. Perfect for notes, to-do lists or anytime you need a piece of paper. Carry them anywhere. Great party favors!
A quick, easy project—and a fun way to use up those leftover scraps!

Dimensions: One notebook measures 4" x 6", and two notebooks measure 3" x 5".
