{Altered Notebooks}


I have seen these altered notebooks before, but never made one. The composition books were on sale at Big Lots for 50 cents, so I thought I would give it a try. I think they turned out pretty cute. I made them for my sister and 2 friends. They are fun gifts and make cute journals. I would like to try mini ones. They would make cute little notebooks to put in your purse or church bag!

Cute Linsey! It is so fun to make plain things cute. And you are so good at it! How did you attach the paper to the notebooks?

CARRIE: I mod-podged the paper directly onto the book and mod-podged the chipboard letters. I used glue dots to hold the ribbon in place and for the flower. The other layers of paper on the sides I used photo squares and/or tape runner.
