CUTE & CRAFTY UPCYCLED NOTEBOOKS AND ORGANIZER | with Wanda

Hey crafty friends! Today I'm sharing a project made with the Cute and Crafty Collection! I am totally in love with this collection for making cards and presents for all my crafty friends. How nice to have paper, stickers and embellishments that are all centered around our favorite pastime - crafting! Yippee! Today I am sharing how I reuse and recycle other things using Doodlebug supplies. I made two composition books and a small organizer (or pencil) bin. These would be great to give a crafty friend, to send in the mail, or even would be fun if you wanted to host a creative event! There is no limit to how you can decorate and personalize this project. I buy the inexpensive composition books at Staples - they are less than a dollar!

 This little organizer bin is actually a cookie tin! I covered it with paper, and also decorated the lid. You could use it for pencils, pens, scissors etc. or put the lid on and store your secret treasures! All of the papers, stickers and supplies are from the Doodlebug Collection. I love these happy colors together.

 I started each book by covering the front cover of the book with the 12x12 patterned papers. That was my foundation... Then I used all the other supplies to decorate the books. Flowers, gems, stickers...I love it all!

 I really like to layer all of the things! Different textures and shapes! The Flowers are from the Cute and Crafty Bits and Pieces pack. The scissors are a Doodlepop!

 I used pieces from the Chit Chat package, the Odds and Ends package and the Bits and Pieces package. It's so easy to craft when everything matches perfectly.

These are the plain composition books and the tin I started with. I always save cool tins and boxes to repurpose! (oh and I love cookies, LOL).

 This book cover has a camera theme! I added a strip of repeating pattern across the bottom of each book. This one has cameras!

 That's my motto: Eat, sleep, craft, repeat! (maybe I would add drink coffee!)

 Here's the cover of the organizer bin. A simple stitched circle out of patterned paper. I covered the bin with patterned paper and added a sticker scalloped border. I added the saying with foam tape and a layer of hearts paper.

That's it for this project! Wishing you a happy day full of crafting and fun. I'll see you back here real soon! XO
