Personalized memo books

I LIKE that! Another great gift idea!

Oh dear, I'm going to be covering EVERYTHING now. Someone protect the cat! LOL

I don't know about the vellum. Wish I could help you there.

personally, I think that the monogram look is all the rage right now and I'd keep them the way they are! That one looks great, btw...as far as printing on vellum I have had success with it, you just have to let it dry longer than usual.

Very nice. Love the color and you're right it's beautiful purple without looking girlie.

I don't know if you've thought about it, but you might think about putting book marks attached to the books too.

Well, there you go! If you like them better that is all that matters! Plus, if the girls have unique names then you are probably right about them enjoying something with their name on it! I can never find "Arleen" items spelled my way! Arleen

Yes that is the little composition book. I joined a swap here on the RCS board geeze about ... what was it 1 year ago? That was the first book I ever covered and I was afraid of trying to curve the corner for lack of skill. I like the angled corners you did too. The corners held up quite well. I kept mine in a pocket in my purse, so it didn't get beat up. I had thought maybe clipping the corner and folding over. Then the paper on the inside of the cover would cover the clipping on the inside. I covered the front having the paper fold over the edges then glue more paper on the inside of the cover completely covering the cover edges. Before applying the outside cover I glue the book mark on. They turned out so cute I was glad that the gals encouraged me to join the swap I never would have thought about doing such a thing.

oooooh I put loops on some of mine so one could slip the pen in it and keep it with the memo pad.

I finished the books and uploaded them all to their own folder, with short descriptions of my coworkers, the people I made them for, so you can see whether or not I succeeded with matching designs to personalities.

I really like the whole name on the front. Really looks nice and makes them special. And yes I think you captured their personalities with paper.

Those notebooks are so neat. I do like them with the whole names. I am making notebooks for my sisters for Christmas to go with their journaling jars. How wide a piece of paper can you put through the Xyron

Those are adorable. What kind of notebooks did you buy to start out with? Hugs, Rach

Love them all! I agree with you, the whole name really looks nice, and I can see where Musonda and Karma would have a hard time with personalized items! Looks like you hit your paper selections dead on with the descriptions too...I especially like Amy and Musonda's!

Duh, meant 1/4 inch, not 1/8. 1/8 was a measurement on my brain for something else entirely.
