Homemade Notepad Gift Idea

Are you making homeade gifts this year for Christmas? Have you thought about what you might make?? Altered notebooks and notepads are always a big hit and would make a great stocking stuffer!! Grab yourself a notebook or notepad at your local office supply store and some scrapbooking supplies and you are ready to get started!

I used a template to cut out the cardstock for my notepad. I scored and folded the cardstock in half, with a little spine for the notepad. I attached the notepad using really sticky tape, embellished the outside and tied it with a ribbon! I love the big bling flower, really add an eyecatching detail.
Here is the inside. Mine has a little pocket to tuck in receipts or business cards or other post-its.
This would make a great stocking stuffer, gift for a neighbor or co-worker, or a holiday planner for yourself. So pick up a notebook to alter the next time you are out and check out the Posh Store for all sorts of goodies for embellishing!!
