I've posted about altering these little books before. With the holidays threatening coming soon, I had an idea to tweak them further.
Pretty nice, right? Here's the little addition...
Why yes, I'd love some coffee! Of course I will be making these for my craft show, wouldn't they be terrific teacher gifts?
On the subject of teachers (kind of), the cute vintage alphabet is from The Graphics Fairy. I printed it onto white card stock. I also trimmed some heavy weight red card stock to cover the book, and used scrapbook tape to secure it.
The library pocket on the inside, was a template included in my Silhouette's software. I sized it to fit both a gift card, and the inside cover. It is also taped to the inside of the book.
Yes, I lined the inside of the covers with fun paper--it makes it more festive.
Why not give a gift card in a holder that will be practical afterwards? Plus, the little pocket can hang onto receipts.. It's always handy to keep a little notebook in a bag, don't you think?
So tell me...do you think this a good craft show addition? Thanks...

ReplyDeleteThis is SUCH a GREAT idea!! When I see these adorable little notebooks, I can't resist them. Often times I throw them in with a gift, especially if it is a gift card.
