These little notepads are so darn cute. I am always looking for something that I can give to my friends and at our age we need notepads. I would like to mention something to Erin. From the comment I have made you can tell that I am older. Would it be possible for you to increase the volume to make it easier for me to hear. I have the volume on my computer as high as it will go and I still have difficulty hearing you. I have no problem with other designers on the Make It Monday videos. Thanks and I hope you don’t mind that I made this comment.
Too stinking cute! I love this little notepad idea! They are adorable Erin ! Going to me making up a few of these for my granddaughters. Thanks!
Thanks for this MIM. Cute idea! I’ll be making some of these for my grandkids, they like little books for their stickers. Sure do wish you would have given the supply list for the card shown on Nichole’s blog also.
GREAT idea!
Love this inspiration. I’m a notebook lover!! Any update on the Sprinkles kit?
Hi Anne, all of Erin’s videos are quiet. She’s a busy Momma and she may not have time to play back her videos or she may be listening to them with ear buds. You might be able to hear better if you have some ear buds (from a cell phone) or a head set, that you can plug into your computer. If you have an older computer, the plug in will be in the back with the USB plug in and may not be very accessable if your hard drive sits on the floor. For a newer computer, the plug in could be on the front with a little tiny picture of a Mic or Head Phones. Hope that helps. Aren’t these note pads fun!?
Brilliant. And so easy. Thanks, Erin.
Oh boy! This is too much fun and there are SO MANY possibilities. I am wondering if it is possible to use a 40# or 65# weight paper. If anyone has tried this, I’d love to know the answer. The best paper crafting videos out there!
Fabulous idea! 🙂 My daughter would love this too! What woman doesn’t “need” a note pad in her purse? LOL Thanks Erin!:)
The Notebook sounds like a great idea.
FYI – I get the this blog just fine, but the links to the store do not work. Any help would be appreciated!
LOVE then Erin..so cute… !
Erin, your cleverness always leaves me feeling inspired. Love these! 🙂
I’m so excited to give this a try. Erin, thank your the idea and the instructions. I’m going to have fun with this project!!! I want to make a bunch of them.
Erin, thanks, for the fabulous tutorial!
It was SO fun creating for this MIM.
I luv this! You can use the different colored papers on hand, which means, even the left over ones, esp. if I make it for myself! Cute! “Post it notes” are very expensive but you can make this much cheaper, too! Luv it! 🙂
Great idea! Thank you!
This is great! I am bookmarking this for future reference! Thanks!
Hi! I’m interested in the Papertrey stamps but I’m not sure what I need to order. I see that the stamps are clear and when watching your video, I see you have them on a clear block. Do the sets come with the blocks or are they something that must be purchased separately?
Love this idea …. I have been looking for instructions on how to make these for about a month now. These seem much simpler to make than the others I have found. Thank you so much.
I love this idea and look forward to creating some this week. I was thinking about Marcie Rhys question about using lighter weight paper; not sure if the pages would adhere as well as the thicker sheets or take the stamped image as well. One other idea is to use watercolor paper and make a small doodle or sketch book. Thank you Erin.
I didn’t get to play along, but this week, as well as last week’s MIM, the participants are on fire. Every entry is a blooming masterpiece! Erin, you hit it out of the park.
Thanks for the GREAT idea. I made one note pad tonight. It will be for me because I had just a little trouble getting the first couple of pages to stick. I plan to make another one this weekend because I think it’s adorable…
Fantastic! What a wonderful (and thoughtful) little gift. Thanks for sharing this great idea…
What a fantastic array of fun! I love seeing everyone’s projects– so many different ideas!
YAY, thank you!!!!!
This is so awesome, Love it, thanks for sharing!!
