Mini Notebook Wallets

 

Good Evening ,

What a miserable few days we have had

I thought it was never going to stop raining.

 Yesterday my daughter came round after work

 to collect her envelope book i had just finished

making this little notebook holder and soon as she

saw it she asked me to make one for her and six

more for her friends, well i made her one.
I just hope she was joking when she asked for six more,

I never done any measurements for these as i just

got some card and  paper and started from there

Both holders are made the same inside.

Both Wallets.
After cutting out the size i wanted to hold the note book
i cover with crafty secrets backing papers and distress
all the edges.

Inside of the wallet.

I had quite a bit of card left and ended up
making 3 credit card size pockets.that fold
and covered the front and back.

 The note books are a packet of 4 from pound land.
I covered the front of the notebook to match the holder.

Added brads for the closure of the wallets

and a few beads i had in my stash

Craft Stamper Mag as my daughter just came

back from holiday and wanted a small album

to hold a few photo's.

smaller tags for Journaling on.

I used TH Pocket Envelope Die and added TH mini

tags inside each pocket.

The papers to cover the tags are from the Crafty Secrets

Creating with Vintage Typography CD Rom

The large tags are 6inches cut in my Cricut and the medium

and mini tags are TH Dies.
