My Other Creations: Prima Notebooks

http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge/
 "Home Decor" is the theme of the week over at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog.  And we also wanted to highlight Prima products.  Since I can't ever seem to find a notebook around when I need one, I decided to make a notebook set which I housed in this spiffy little tin that I revamped from a previous project.


I adore my Cinch binding tool and used it to bind together these 4x6 notebooks.  I cut out the paper for the notebooks using a 4x6 rounded corner die (monotony factor = 7).  And you can't have a set of fancy notebooks without some frivolous pens!  I made  mine from some straws which I stuck pen parts into.


The covers of the notebooks were made by using a paintable Prima 4x6 card as the background, then I added a tag, then I stuck some adorable Prima matchboxes on top (which can still open if you need to leave a secret message).  I added a folded inked Prima flower as the topper to my matchboxes.


Most of the products I used came from one of my all-time favorite Prima lines: Garden Fable.  I adore the pastels and whimsical sketches.

Here are the supplies I used that you can find at Simon Says Stamp:
