Today's color scheme: Pacific Point, Kiwi Kiss, Red Riding Hood (retired in-colors) FYI: Summer Sun coordinates well with these colors.
Yesterday I felt in the mood to take an on-hand 5×7" low-cost spiral composition notebook and personalize it with SU! paper. I chose my favorite SU! in-colors which are unfortunately retired.
To cover a notebook is pretty easy and does not take that much time—unless you decide to get real fancy. For me I like to keep the look pretty simple and without to much fuss.
The front, back, and inside cover pages of the notebook were covered with DSP cut to 5×7" and punched with holes that correspond to the notebook spirals. To do that I pull a page from the notebook and use dotto adhesive to temporarily adhere it to the DSP. I use the torn page as my guide to know where to use my small circle punch. After that is done I use my SU! scissors to cut a slit opening in each punched circle. The slits will allow me to gently thread the custom cut DSP to cover the notebook cover. I used Tombow glue to secure my custom fit DSP panels to the notebook covers.
A non-SU! BigZ die was used to create the cover's flower. A non-SU! border punch was used on the Pacific Point paper wrapped (2" x 7", folded in half, then border punch on the long edges) around the notebook's edge.
I also used my SU! round tab to punch out several tabs from the leftover DSP and Pacific Point paper. I'll attach these after I figure out for sure the specific use for my personalized notebook.
OK—now it is your turn to take an inexpensive composition notebook and make it your own!
