Quick and Easy Note Pad Holders


Once Upon a Spring Time Notebook Holders Clare Chervil Graphic 45
Whop Whop its the weekend, the first day of the school holidays and no rain........ so far.    I've been rooting through all my left over papers that have been sitting in the cupboard for ages and decided to use some of them to make some notebook holders for my stall at the craft fair.  It didn't take long to transform two sheets of paper and some chipboard into a gorgeous gorgeous little gift that would be great for stocking fillers, table top sales, charity fund raising events and birthday gifts too.  A great little make to do with the children too. I used the Once Upon a Springtime papers for the three above, decorating the front with the cut out fairy frames and a little bit of glitter........

  2. Hi Clare, It's been a while I know (due to ill-health) but I'm much better now and still here. Yay! It's been a while since I've done any crafting of any description but I just loved your fab video and am looking forward to giving your notebook "a go". Needless to say I'm gradually catching up with all of your previous posts which so far look great! Having had a quick look at your Workshop schedule for the remainder of 2015 it looks as if we here in South Yorkshire won't be seeing you this time round. Never mind, hopefully we'll see you next year. It's good to be back.....Take care

  4. These are beautiful Clare and so quick to do!!! I had taken a class a long time ago on something similar only we couldn't replace the pad and when we asked if there was a way to do that she said no and what do you care just throw it away it's only paper!!! At the time I thought, but these are really nice and I don't want to throw it away!! So I am very pleased that you have shown how to make the pads replaceable!! Lovely little gifts for stocking stuffers, shower favors, gifts to members of a Club, etc. Thanks as always Clare.

IndigoBlu Tags  Happy Friday everyone If your a follower of mine you 'll know that I've been off work for a while following an op, but my life as a lady of leisure came to an end this week when I returned to the world of totally british beautiful fast fast cars and ones that go anywhere!!  I had a wonderful welcome back from my colleagues so thanks to everyone for making my first day as good as it was.  I thought I'd feel like the new girl, not able to remember anything, but just like riding a bike it all came flooding back :-) Now I feel like I've not been away lol!!!    I cant deny I'm not pleased its the weekend and I've got time to re charge my batteries before attempting another 5 days on the trot :-)  As I've just joined the IndigoBlu team official this week I thought I'd share a couple of tags with you made with stamps from the  Pomp and Pageantry and Grand Tour 1 plates and the ledger background which I really love.  Tag 1 IndigoBlu
