Graphic 45 Once Upon a Time Notepads with cover and ink pen

Hello! 

I've been making notepad covers for jr. legal pads again!  I love to make books, so making a cover for a notepad is even more fun.  This time it's all about Fairies!  <3

I used Graphic 45 "Once Upon a Springtime" designer paper for all three of the books I made and each is a different color.  The covers measure
5 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches and are 3/4 inch thick at the spine.  The notepad is 5" x 8."

These handmade books were made using medium weight chipboard,
so they are very sturdy.  I made them so that the notepad can be removed
when it is "used up" and another notepad put back in its place.
So, these covers should last for a long time.

I used Stickles on the Fairies wings and on the frame around the Fairies.

The peach colored notebook is made a bit differently, as I added crocheted lace ties to close the book.

You will find these notebooks in my Etsy shop,
