ToniStamps: Moose Half Notebook

Eek! I'm late for work and didn't realize that I never hit submit on this blog post from LAST WEEK! Doh! I needed a new notebook to keep track of ALL the things that I have going on, plans, project ideas, you name it.

I get these half-size composition notebooks at Walmart. I usually see them when school supplies are out in August. You could certainly use the regular size notebooks, and just use more paper to cover.

Watch this video from October 2021 to see how I cover these notebooks.

Watch THIS video to see how I make the inside pocket.

Front and back covers are the same as far as the designer series paper and that little strip of embossed cardstock. Only the front has the extra decoration. I knew I wanted to use the Earthen Elegance Designer series papers, but that was all I had in mind. The die-cut moose was on my desk from another project, so I had to include that and then it took off from there.

I'm not going to give paper measurements, because your notebook may be slightly different. I will tell you that I used Adhesive Sheets to add the designer series paper. You get a smooth, even coverage with adhesive sheets, versus Tear & Tape or Sticky Strip (red line tape) like I've used previously. You could also use just liquid glue and maybe smooth it out with your finger before you put the paper on the notebook.

Pocket that I make at the front of my book. Again, watch that second video that I linked above to see how to make this roomy pocket. It really holds A LOT of bits and pieces! Stamped with an OLD set - DD Pinecones. I like adding this pocket at the front of my notebooks, but you could put these in the middle and/or back of the book too.
