Summer Notebook Pages - free printable

Hello, and welcome! Today I'm sharing here a set of notebook pages just perfect for summer!

Sweet on You Notebook Pages - free printable

Closely following the Sweet on You printable stickers and the Sweet on You name tags I posted last week, here are the matching printable notebook pages!

DIY pouch + keychain + notebook cover set

Remember the zipper pouch with a matching keychain I made last year? I still had leftover fabric so I decided to make a new set, now adding a notebook cover too.

This pouch + keychain + notebook will be a gift for a teenage girl and I think the fabric is just perfect for these warmer days. 

 

Because yes, even if my time is limited and there are still several gifts I had to buy this month, whenever possible I like to make them myself!

DIY owl felt notebook cover

Hello, and welcome! Today I'm sharing here my latest felt notebook cover, decorated with a cute owl. Because everyone loves owls, right?

Summer crafts for kids: make your own summer notebook

Having the kids at home during the summer with us parents still at work (even if working from home) is always a challenge, so I've been trying to discover new things to keep my ten year old occupied. We discovered a previously unused cross stitch kit at the back of a closet and she's been working on those designs, but then we had to find something to use the cross stitch in. And I came up with the idea of having her creating her own summer notebook. 

This way she's was not only occupied building the notebook but she also now has a place to record her summer memories, the books she's reading, summer bucket lists, etc. Of course this doesn't work for toddlers, but it's a good suggestion for older children to pass these summer days especially if they're still, like us, limited in their outings due to Covid. 

DIY Retro Notebook Cover with Pen Pocket

Hello, and welcome to another Monday - a rather cold and wet one around here. So to cheer up the day I'm sharing here a fun little project I completed a couple of weeks ago: a colorful retro-style felt notebook cover. 

 

 

Llama felt notebook cover

Just when I say I'm not making another notebook cover for a while, my daughter comes up with another of her friends who's celebrating a birthday and still does not have one of my book covers.

So just a few weeks after the nordic bird notebook cover, I was charged with a new "order".

Nordic bird notebook cover

When it comes to notebook covers, I've made just about every theme I could think of - I've made a fox notebook cover, one with a sparkly cupcake, another with a dog and even one with a bunch of balloons (and a few others as well). 

Well, last weekend my daughter told me she needed a gift for one of her friends (a girl turning nine) and as I was pressed for time, I decided to make another notebook cover...I let my daughter decide the design she wanted and she discovered this Nordic bird die from Sizzix (which I remember ordering a while ago but then never used).

Hot Air Balloons notebook cover

I promise this is the last notebook cover I'll share here for a while. 2019 has definitely been the year of notebook cover gifts at our house.

But this one has an even longer background story than the others. First, because I'm just in love with this fabric. Seriously, how cute is it? And then, because it's the second gift I made with it for the same person.

Remember the Hot Air Balloons Bag I shared here a year ago? I made it for one of my daughter's classmates and apparently it was a hit. When my daughter was invited again this year for the girl's birthday party, I decided to go through my stash and search for the leftovers from the bag, and luckily I had enough for a matching notebook cover.

Mini felt notebook with initial

This was another end of year teacher gift. It's a mini-notebook, for which I created a felt cover and added an initial:

Red hearts notebook cover and pencil case set

Hum, yes...I created another of these sets. I seem to be making them every week this year, I certainly need to plan something completely different for next year.

This one was for my daughter's 3rd grade teacher. 

Cupcakes notebook set

Yes, it's another notebook and pencil case set. But this time I bring you cupcakes. And who doesn't love a cupcake, especially if it's calorie free?

Happy clouds DIY notebook and pencil case set

Hello, and welcome to a brand new week! Yes, today I'm showing off another of my notebook sets, but this time there are some differences - first, it's not animal themed. After the dog notebook set and the fox notebook set, I was ready for a change. This happy clouds fabric provided the perfect inspiration. And second, this notebook set is not made of felt.

Although felt is my go-to material when I have to make a quick gift for someone, we all need to take a break sometimes...

Dog notebook and pencil case set

I really want to start sharing something different, but my daughter keeps asking me to make these notebook sets for her friends...at least I have managed to vary the animals...

So, after last week's fox notebook set, this week I bring you the dog notebook set.

Sweet fox notebook & pencil case set

Yes, I made another. For one of my daughter's class mates who turned 9 a couple of weeks ago (actually, I made two more, all different, but I still need to organize the pictures I took of the last ones...).

Notebook & zipper pouch gift set

After the success of the Spring Felt Notebook Cover and the DIY Felt Zipper Pouch, of course I decided to make a new set. This one went to another of my daughter's friends who celebrated her 9th birthday last week.

 This time I used a smaller notebook (just because it was what I already had at home).

DIY Spring Felt Notebook Cover

Hello, and welcome. Today I'm showing off a gift set I made for one of my daughter's friends. We couldn't attend her birthday party because we were out of town, but I still wanted to send a gift. And as I needed something that I could make on the go, I resorted to my themed notebook cover ideas - because you can never go wrong with those. And I used a spring theme, of course!

The only difference is that instead of actually printing pages and assembling a notebook, I used a store bought one I already had and just created the cover.

Upcycled notebook

Hello, and welcome. Today I'm going to show you how I transformed an ugly notebook into something I can now use at the office.

I always like to have my own notebooks at the office, something pretty and not too large, so that it can't fit in my purse if I have to go out for a meeting. As the current notebook was coming to an end, I found myself looking at new notebooks in stores, looking for something inspiring, when I suddenly remembered - if I can make a notebook, why am I buying one?

 

Felt & Ribbon Notebook Cover

I love creating notebook covers They are hugely versatile and with the abundance of free stationary and clip-arts you have on the Web nowadays, it´s really easy to create cute, customized gifts.

For this one, I started with a piece of hedgehogs themed ribbon I've had in my stash for a while.

Hotfoil DIY notebooks

Hello, and welcome. Today I'm going to show you how to make notebooks. Personally I always carry a notebook in my purse to jot down reminders, ideas and anything else that comes to mind. 

These notebooks are perfect for just that. You can make them any size you want and when you finish one - just make another.
