You know how you buy those stacks of scrapbook paper? Like from DCWV for example they have the front cover that shows what the stack is and on the otherside its a nice glossy (usually sometimes mat) white. The back of the stack is usually a little thicker chipboard brown (sometimes one side will have the nice glossy white) I took the covers and backs from a few of the smaller "mat stacks" and some notebook paper from the kids notebooks that didn't get all used from school. See I always pull out those pages before recycleing their notebooks from school. I tirmmed them down to size and now i have some cute little notepads. I used some scrapbook paper to cover the fronts of the "mat stacks" added some embellishments, punched a hole with my cropodile, and added a jump ring and this is what I got:
