I thought you might like to see the project that my Stamp Clubs completed last month.  We used Stampin' Up!'s Clear-Mount Stamp Cases (#119105) on page 192 in the Idea Book and Catalog to make our own notebook holder.  This is a great little gift for a friend or to stick in your purse so that you always have paper to record those great ideas that you have!

This is the front of one of the cases ~ I think the A is for Agnes as I took the picture the other day in her stamp club ~ she was the Hostess!  Here is the inside ~

A Jr. Legal size notepad fits just right ~ if you trim off 1" at the bottom of your notepad.  If you ask Office Max staff they will do the trimming for you (it cost a dollar for six).  And, if you fit your notepad close to the top there will be room for a pen at the bottom.  Here are your directions ~ give me a call, or email me, if you have a question, would like to order some of the cases or join a stamp club!
