You may have noticed if you follow my blog that I have a security envelope paper obsession.
I love making things out of the beautifully patterned paper that is normally tossed in the recycling bin.
I’m also forever jotting down notes and often find myself with out a piece of paper in my purse.
So, I whipped up some little scratch paper booklets that I can throw in my purse.
I used leftover cardstock folded in half to create the booklet covers and a few sheets of security envelope paper for the insides.
A micro-hole punch and piece of twine hold it all together.
Now, when I remember something I can jot it down.
Do you have a system for jotting down notes? I used to carry a day runner but now my calendar is on my computer and synced to my phone. Besides, there are some things I like to keep low-tech – like scratch paper.
Thanks for visiting!

Carolyn, these are so pretty. I love the pretty paper and having a notebook at hand is always a good idea.
ReplyDeleteLove the execution with the twine ties, got a great idea now for stuffers for my Easter baskets
ReplyDeleteLove these, great way to recycle!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! Electronics are great but sometimes there's nothing like a pen & paper!
ReplyDeleteThese are delightful. There is something rewarding in writing out a list and I would love my little lists on such a pretty little scratch pad. Thanks! Oh, I have tons of paper to use up too...
ReplyDeleteWonderful simple and eye-catching! My room mate makes handmade notebooks and agendas so I know how gentle this work is :)
ReplyDeleteThese are precious, Carolyn. I would have never put the twine with those prints, and I love the look.
ReplyDeleteLove these, very pretty and "useable" :D
ReplyDeleteVery cute :) My son has a box of scratch paper that he doesn't care for because of the print on one side. If I put something like these together for him with the blank side up he might actually use them!
ReplyDeleteSo cute - I like the security paper too but haven't used it ....yet. :)
ReplyDeleteQuestion: What size do you cut your paper and do you just disregard the address label size?
ReplyDeleteHow adorable! I always have a scratch pad or notepad handy on my desk.
ReplyDeleteSo clever and artfully done as always. This is going straight to my "Repurposing Genius" board.
