I used layers of the patterned paper taken from the 6x6 pad to decorate the front cover. Then I added some of the felt stickers - these are fabulous:
I used the alien sticker to draw around and make a template, and then sewed two aliens out of my stash of felt (the yellow one is hiding) and attached them to the spine with a clasp.
For the inside I wanted to create pockets that the recipient could store things in. I sealed an envelope shut again and cut it in half to create two pockets, all I did then was to cover them with the patterned paper and pop some sheets of white paper inside:
To create four more pockets I used some clear plastic bags - the type that you buy to store or sell your cards in, and simply cut off the adhesive strip at the top. You can just about see it on the left hand side below - I've put some paper inside it so that it shows up:
I hope you like my little notebook and I hope you have a go at making one yourself!
Here are the products that I used:
