While walking around
Michaels I found these cute little wood note books for a dollar. I bought three and decided to make me a "To Do" note book.

First step: Glue your choice of paper on the back and front.

Add any
embellishment you like:

I am obsessed with inking everything I do now. I used to use chalk, but my sister Amy told me how
fabulous ink works. I love it! It is not near as messy as chalk and you get more definition.

I just inked around the edges:

Last step was to
Modge Podge the whole thing. (Love
modge podge!). Then I added some ribbon to the rings and done!

Also at
Michaels I found this cute little paper clip holder thingy on clearance (yeah!) for 89 cents. I painted it, added some paper and
modge podged it. Cute!

One thing I have been meaning to post is these great magnet boards. My sister Amy had one, and I had to make some. My dad hooked me up with a huge piece of sheet metal which I took over to the school and cut up into pieces. Then I added two different pieces of paper, slapped on some ribbon, a flower, and some letters. Then I used my
Cropadile and punched some holes in the sheet metal, added some eyelets and hooked up some
ribbon. Cutest project ever! I have it hanging above my craft table.

Note: I used Terrifically Tacky Tape to attach my paper to the sheet metal. This stuff is fantastic!!! I use it any time I want things to really stick. This stuff is unforgiving though, so if you stick it somewhere, you better want it to stay.
