DIY Notebook/Planner

Hi crafty friends! Today I'm sharing how to create a fun, personalized notebook using two tools from We R Memory Keepers.

Whether you're going back to school or simply looking for a way to stay more organized, handmade notebooks are the way to go!

I created this multi-subject notebook using The Works All-In-One Tool and the Disc Cinch. 

To create the layered covers of this notebook, I used two sheets of medium weight chipboard. The front cover measures 4.5 x 7.5 while the back cover measures 5.5 x 7.5 inches. I wrapped these using patterned papers from the 12 x 12 Paper Pad from the Live & Let Grow collection. I then added disc holes using the Disc Cinch and bound the covers together using 7 discs.

To create the folders, I used sheets of paper that measured 7.5 x 10.5 inches. I scored these on the 10.5 side at 5.5 inches. I then used the Tab Punch on The Works All-In-One Tool to create tabs along the right-side edge of all of my folders. Next, I added disc holes to these and then bound them in between the covers of my notebook.

Since this project is designed for note-keeping, I added some dot grid paper in between all of the folders. These papers measured 4.5 x 7.5 inches.

Finally, I embellished the project using all of the fun bits and pieces from the Live & Let Grow collection. On the cover I added some paper rosettes for dimension, along with the dates for the coordinating school year.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today! I'll see you next time with another fun project!
