We make lists of so many things in our lives...groceries, books to read, tasks, gifts to give, birthdays, etc. We might also need to jot down a quick note to a teacher, doctor, friend or family member. I know I love the idea of leaving sweet notes around letting others know you are thinking of them...and who doesn't want to leave them on their own personalized notepad use for these notes?! This new set from Papertrey called Take Note incorporates wonderful elements and titles to create endless numbers of personalized notepads. I am sure you have all seen Mish's cute notebooks (if not click here) and now we can all make them ourselves with this super duper cute new set.
I chose to use the "Just @ Note" title and create a little notepad portfolio (the new notepads PTI will be carrying are 2 1/2"x8") with two pockets inside to hold other items like money, coupons, giftcards, checks, stamps, etc. My color scheme is fresh and fun, Raspberry Fizz, Aqua Mist and Orange Zest (have been just dying to use this color more!) and of course Fresh Snow. I used a couple of other new release sets (Nichole will share more about those) to create some background paper, then added a little oval tag to the cover, stitching a Raspberry Fizz button in place. I stitched another button on the back layer and used Aqua Mist embroidery floss to tie the ensemble closed.
Here is a view of the other side with the other button...
On the inside I added the two pockets using Aqua Mist and more of my background paper with Orange Zest accents.
Here's one more look at the pockets...
Thanks for coming by my blog today....be sure to visit all the Papertrey girls (Nichole, Becky, Betsy, Dawn,Debbie, Heather, Lauren, Lisa, Mish, Melissa, and Niki) to see what fun projects they came up with using this new cute cute set! I will be back with another new PTI project tomorrow too!!!
Love your note pad, Geny! Especially those pockets! LOVE pockets on and in everything! :) Your color combination is so cute!

This blog rocks! I gotta say, that I read a lot of blogs on a daily basis and for the most part, people lack substance but, I just wanted to make a quick comment to say I’m glad I found your blog. Thanks,
