Personalized Notebooks
It is hard to believe summer is almost over, and my children start school in 2 weeks. How on earth will I have a 5th & 10th grader? I just can't wrap my head around that one. My daughter has an especially hard course load this year (so does my son), so we sat down, and I let her go through my pattern paper stash, to re-cover/alter a composition notebook. We made one for one of her really good friends as well.
Kendall, finally settled on some beautiful Crate paper, and picked out some girly Teresa Collins paper for her friend. It just made sense to use some Lawn Fawn stamps to personalize the notebooks for the girls. The larger alphabet set is Quinn's ABC's and the smaller alpha set is the Harold's ABC's set. I also used the Schoolhouse backdrops set too. I love that the Harold's set fit so perfect within the lines!! I colored in the girls names using Copic markers to make the names pop a little more, then accented the letters with a white gel pen.
With all of the school supplies out and on sale at your favorite stores, this is a really quick and simple project to complete. It is also a great way to use up paper you just have sitting around.
I love the fact that my daughter still likes things pretty and personalized :)
