Earth Day Notepad Holder

This will be my last DT project for Scrap-n-Crop as my DT term will be up by end-Apr'08. It has been quite an experience I must say, and a great opportunity. So thanks Val, for believing in me.

This is a little notepad holder which is filled with recycled papers/envelopes. Great thing is, you can cut up more paper scraps, etc., punch holes with a regular puncher and just refill this holder for use over and over again.

"Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" - must admit the hardest part for me will be to reduce" (especially when it comes to scrapbooking materials), but I will try!


Foil tape used on the spine.


Double-embossed image of the tree. It gives the impression of a textured bark. Used a crystal brad to function as a button (with an elastic string) to hold it all close.


Love the effect of the foil tape on the spine - a little gleam, a little distressed, a little texture.

The stretched-out view of the notepad holder (topside).


And the inside where I used a ribbon to hold the papers together.


* this is now used by little J as her sketch book.


Supplies - SnC Earth Day Kit, Hero Arts Stamps, Tim Holtz Distress Inkpad, Ranger Inkssentials Memory Foil Tape, Making Memories Acrylic Paint, Making Memories Crystal Brad, Modge Podge, SnC Embossing Powder, SnC Ribbon, Hard Card.
