I am so happy to soon be a Grandma !! For my daughter to record her pregnancy I decorated a little pretty notebook and added some pockets and extra bit to some of the pages. Then I made a little folder to gift it to her and used the same designer series paper to make a matching coaster so when she is journalling she can have her drink nearby.  The pages of this little notebook from Stampin' Up already have some lines, sayings and images printed onto the pages but some of the sayings were a bit repetitive so I covered them in the co-ordinating designer series paper. I also added some extra pull out pages with the DSP for her to add photographs or more journalling and a list of ideas of what to journal.  I used some of the pages to add extra decoration and pockets. The notebook is quite small it measures 10.8cm x 14cm. There are 24 pages. You may have missed it in the catalogue - it is on page 73 and again on page 170. It co-ordinates with the pressed petals designer

 I am a very bad saxophone student, and I noticed my CD's that go with my learn to play books and my reeds were getting very messy and along came the lovely Music from the Heart stamp set ..... so I made a little book to hold them. The above photograph is the front cover. Inside are pages with pockets that hold the CDs and the reeds. I have decorated some plastic CD covers and put them into the pockets to keep the CDs nice and clean. Generally when CD's come with music books they are in these little plastic covers stuck inside the cover of the book and they tend to get lost. They are also very cheap to buy on the internet and I had a pack of 100 and I use them to hold all of my spare die cuts inside each of my die cut folders and for prepared pieces for classes and for holding stamping dimensionals - they are very handy little covers!!!  The pages are made using the hinge system - You score a piece of card 6 inches wide every 1 inch and 1 inch and then half inch and
