Scrapbooking Made Simple

    These are some more "handbags" I made for my girlfriend. I did an address book, a notebook and a post-it-note book bag for carrying in your purse. I used premade notebooks and just covered them with paper and cardboard with a few pearls to set it off nicely. I love these kinds of rojects as they are quick and easy but they look really affective.

(It's a two year calendar which I purchased for $1.... easier than making it) The whole thing is done as a sandwich board so you can easily close it up to get it out of the way if you need the space. Here's my receipe book: I only divided it into two sections Savoury ...
