Don't you just love writing lists! Ken teases me about the "honey do" lists I share with him all the time so I figured I may as well create a cute one! Not only is this little project quick and simple...everyone loves it!
I started with an 8.5 x 11 notepad and cut it into two pads measuring 4 1/8" by 11". I covered each pad with an 8.5" x 11" basic cream colored cardstock and scored it 4 1/8" of an in from each side leaving a 1/4" in the center of the sheet to accommodate the thickness of the notepad. I then applied A Muse kitchen notecard paper 3 7/8" x 10 3/4" to the front and back of the cover and embellished accordingly.
I just love these decorative notepads...they fit nicely in my handbag and I even keep one near the phone for messages and grocery lists. Create a custom one for you or share them with your friends and family...just in time for Mother's Day! ;)
This is the outside.
This is the inside! enjoy!
Super cute idea, Stephanie! Will have to think about making some of these.
Hehe!! I posted before Kathy. :)

Oh Betty - you're pretty sly...hope to see you in class before too long!!
I love these decorative notepads almost as much as I love to make lists!! AND using the cool new A Muse cardstock too - I'm fairly swooning with delight.....sigh.........now if I only had EVERY color of the A Muse cardstocks...... The possibilities are endless!
