I've had this project in the works for a few days, but finished it today. I was so excited that I wanted to share! My husband's "office" is his half of the bedroom... and he has accounts in 5 states. He is constantly faxing papers, and we have so many cover sheets and confirmation sheets just lying around. Sometimes "stuff" just takes over our counters! I am always trying to look for better ways to organize ourselves.
We have a lot of scrap papers. A lot. I have them all filed in a neat container that says "scrap paper." But I thought--why not make them into something cute??? I love me a good notebook and I love making lists probably even more. So this project killed about 3 birds with one stone. I am one happy camper!
I thought that my hubby and I both needed our own personalized notebooks....
I am sure my hubby will just love the flower on his. Hee hee.
And this little notebook I am especially excited for. This will be my idea notebook... I can be inspired to my heart's delight and write my lists of dream creations, supplies, and thoughts. Hip hip hooray!
So these notebooks will be replacing our not-so-cute sticky pads and making our counters look a lot more organized! I think I'll go get started...

Love these! Anything made with scraps is always a plus for me!
Cute!! Excellent use of scrap materials. And a great idea to boot!
I am always impressed with scrappers! SOmething I have not taken part of yet!~ You look so organized and make it look so cute!
Thanks for you thoughtfulness! Debbie, I am not always a scrapper. My "scrapper" projects are few and far between… that's why I was extra proud of myself for this. LOL
SUPER CUTE! I love making list too… so I can totally relate to the need for a cute notebook that uses up my scraps!
Your's are just too sweet for words, glad your idea worked out so well!
