Just My 2 Cents


What can you get for a penny these days?  Not too much unless you go to Staples for your back to school supplies shopping.  They had notebooks for a penny each!!  Of course I bought the limit which was 6 and then went to another Staples to get 6 more.  As you can see I, altered two of them for my daughter and her BFF.

I used scraps from a DCWV paper pack and the yet to be released School Rules stamp set from CTMH.  The paper is very glittery since both the girls love things that sparkle.  I also added a little more glitter in certain areas with my Sakura glitter pen.

I used chipboard letters for their names, painted with the Pearl Create-a-Shade paint from CTMH.  I sponged some black ink around the edges of the letters to make them pop.  I also reinforced the holes on the side with some heavy duty eyelets and used a lot of scor-tape.  Maybe these will at least last for the first day.  :)


I embellished with some sparkle flowers and brads I had in my stash and viola! super cute notebooks for two special girls.
