Craft Show Creations 1

My friend and I are working on getting some items together for a craft fair in late April. Over the next few weeks, I'll post a few of the items so you can see what we'll be showing off. This is our first completed project: covered notepads with pens. I used the directions I originally found on Chichi Allen's blog, Dreams Come True. Charmaine posted a detailed tutorial on her blog earlier this week. You can find it here. They are so easy to make, basically just a few score lines and you're ready to go. You can get two notepad covers from a single sheet of cardstock. I got scratch pads for the covers in packs of 12 at Staples. Tonight, we'll be watching the NCAA basketball tournament and working on tile dry erase memo boards and big clippies. Look for those fun items here soon.
