Pocketed Notebook Cover

Here's what Vicki had to say about her pocketed notebook cover: Last month I made one of these pocketed notebook covers for my friend, Anne. It's designed for a large spiral notebook and has pockets to hold her Blackberry and some pens.

Then people saw it. Then there were demands for more covers. Being a good friend, I met the demands. I also created a tutorial that was posted to 3 Creative Studios yesterday.

I only wish I had thought of this design while I was still working and dropping my Blackberry as I moved from meeting to meeting. But now you can make them for your office mates and there's plenty of time before Christmas to make one for everyone!

Here's what Sue had to say about her hand coiled wire bound notebooks:

Make these wire bound notebooks using any kind of papers that you like. If you like to work in watercolors or wet media, consider making one filled with water color paper. Or make one and use a combination of blank paper and decorative postcards or ephemera from a trip you took.

I just love cute little things - especially if they are little notepads and gift bags so I was happy to see that Jessica Jones had two wonderful tutorial on her How About Orange blog showing you how to make a mini saddle-stitched booklet and how to make gift bags from envelopes and pretty tape.  Have fun!

Make a mini saddle-stitched booklet

Here's what Jessica had to say about her tutorial:   I have a stack of scratch paper that's been sitting on top of my filing cabinet, annoying me. You know how when you print emails, sometimes there's nothing but one line of text on the second page? It's stuff like that. And yet in my purse, I never seem to have any paper whatsoever, so I scribble people's email addresses on the backs of crumpled receipts. So here's my solution: tiny notebooks.

Make bags from envelopes and pretty tape

Here's what Jessica had to say about her tutorial:   I got a little tape-happy the other day. This project is like the envelope gift bag tutorial from awhile back, but approximately 200% cuter due to fancy tape. These little gift sacks could be used as party favors filled with candy or as packaging for wee presents.
