Hello! Christine here today and wishing you all a Happy New Year. New Year is a time when a lot of us think about new plans and ideas and perhaps make lists, I’m a ‘list addict’!
One of my favourite things to do is to customise cheap notepads that you can purchase at local supermarkets. I use the outer cover as a template and cover with plain cardstock.
Using scraps of pretty paper, I cut these into panel sections, ink the edges slightly and arrange with my with E-Z Dots® Repositionable – just in case I change my mind!
I’ve chosen to add some pretty die cuts created from Spellbinders™ Jewel Flowers and Flourishes. 3D Foam Squares work perfectly on the back of these.
I switch to my E-Z Runner® and attach my paper and other decorative elements including tags. The adhesive is in tiny strips so it can be used on the smallest embellishment too.
Within minutes you have a decorated notepad, a transformation from the cheap supermarket one!

Thank you for joining me today – here are the super sticky products I have used.
This is gorgeous Christine, loving the papers used and of course the fabulous jewel flowers dies. What a transformation for a run-of-the-mill notebook, into this ‘work of art’. I am also a ‘list’ girlie.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
This is just gorgeous Christine, I love everything about it and it’s such a necessity for us list makers! I love your notebooks and really plan to make some myself this year
