Today I have THREE posts! So be sure to check them ALL out!
I have been busy as a bee, and *maybe* you can see a very SMALL tid bit of why I haven’t been blogging as much as I normally do! Quality is better than quantity right?? LOL!
Today & tomorrow the team Papertrey Ink all have a group post! These are SURE to get you inspired 😀
Now Nichole and Mish put their talent and brains together to come up with a FAB new product, and of course coordinating stamp set called Take Note!
So, our job was to create one, and share it with you.
Oh my love!!! I am just in love with the size and color choice for these notepads!!I decided to make a gift for myself 😀 I am forever jotting down my ideas on scraps of paper, and losing them, or having to pile them up in a folder. Sometimes while I’m out shopping, an idea hits, and I’m scrambling for a receipt so I can jot down my ideas as they come! LOL! This set is just what I needed to get myself organized, and with style! Come check out how I created my tri fold notepad!
Here is the “me & my BIG bright ideas” note book I designed using Take Note
I have to say that was my FAVE sentiment for the set. It just called out to me.
I’m sorry but I LOVE Pure Poppy, Ripe Avocado, True Black with Polka Dots! Its such a FAB combo!!
The colors just screamed for me when I sat down to create (told you I am using a lot of black this release :D)
I LOVE Beautiful Blooms, and I felt it mimic the flower in the sentiment I chose, along with the polka dot center.
The note book is 2.5 X 8. I used the white with gray lines for my project.
I decided I would create a belly band to go around my notebook cover-which is a tri-fold design. I wanted to keep it SIMPLE 😀
You just slid the band off, and you then reveal your notebooks!
As you can see I used 2 for my project. I always have lots to keep track of, then wanted to jot down my ideas.
Directions for Tri Fold holder
My cardstock was 8 1/2 inches tall by 9 1/2 inches across
I just created the tri fold holder by scoring along the 9 1/2 inch side at
3 then 3 1/4
6 1/4, then again at 6 1/2!
Made my belly band using 2 strips of cardstock!
1- 8 1/2 X 1 1/4 (that is the back piece)
Then the front of the band- is 11 X 1 1/4
Scored the 11 inch long strip at 1 then 1 1/4, then again at 9 3/4 and 10. Adhered it to the 8 1/2 X 1 1/4 inch piece and had my belly band.
As you can see I then stamped my notebook pages to reflect what I want to use them for!
I was SO inspired by the notebook, that I created an entire gift ensemble!
(I know! My brain just often takes off in a million directions! Trust me my BODY often can’t keep up with it, because if it did, 24 hours in a day would NOT be enough time to get it all done! Hence my use/need for the notebook :D)
I LOVE matchy matchy stuff, and as I said before, love using the same elements on various projects. I think you can really see here how this set can translate into other gifts and projects!
I used the Around Town Tote as part of my set
As you can see I used the Standard size, and the Pretty Petite size. Love them BOTH!
I then figured that I could also use the Cash or Charge #1 as an idea clipping holder, OR to hold my coupons in when I go shopping 😀
Here is the Cash or Charge #1 wallet close up
I used the GIGA Marvy flower punch for this, and then some wide ripe avocado ribbon to tie it closed, and appear like the leaves.
Easy peasy, and OH SO CUTE!!
Supplies:
Note Book X2
Scor-Pal
My Timeless Template: Around Town Tote, Cash or Charge #1
Stamps: Take Note, Beautiful Blooms, Borders and Corners rectangle, Wise Owl, Floral Frenzy
Cardstock: White, Pure Poppy, Black
Patterned Paper: Bitty Dot Basics
Ink: Ripe Avocado, Pure Poppy, Black
Ribbon: Ripe avocado twill & grosgrain
Circle punch, Marvy Giga Flower punch
Well that does it for me today. I hope you like my take on the NEW! notebooks.
Make sure you check out all the girls posts:
See you back here again tomorrow for much more 😀

Love the whole red and black combo and would definately use the whole set as gifts- but can’t seem to find the templates you are referring to in your project description. Help!

LOVE this set! The colors are just perfect, and I love the design of the flowers. What stamp set is the green stem with many leaves on it from? I have been looking for something like this for a while…I didn’t see it when I looked up the stamps that you used.
Thanks for the beautiful inspiration!
LOVE this color combo! This entire set turned out adorable. And just HOW did you make the flower red and the stem green on that tiny label stamp? I love that look!
