I've finally developed a neatly-finished notebook that has the ability to allow the user to remove the old pad and replace with a new one.
October Afternoon 9 to 5 papers, designer brads and flower-sack die-cuts, May Arts chevron twill, compass, Papertrey notepads and Take Note set used.
Handy pocket on the interior.
Side shot of the removable notepad. The notebook base is reinforced with a piece of hidden chipboard.
A frontal shot of the finishing job. The spine is decoratively reinforced with tissue tape. Thanks for looking!
















This is so cute Cindy! I love the paper and all the lovely embellishments you chose. You have such a great eye for design. I like the idea of being able to reuse the notebook. Your notepads are too adorable not to use again.

LOVE your notebook! And so clever with being able to replace the notepad.

This is Ah-Dorable!! Inquiring minds wanna know, are you cutting a larger pad or finding the "skinny" pads on the market?
Thanks for the cute project!
