I love those cute little notebooks filled with journaling spots available from several companies nowadays. Most of them are spiral or wire bound so I got to thinking … “I could make my own”!

I cut some scrap cardstock in white, cream, and kraft colors to 3.5” x 3”. Then I stamped journaling stamps on them, some going off the pages, some in the middle so I could cut the whole image out if I wanted to, and other covering the entire page so I could tear the page out to get the “notebook paper” look. I bound all of the pages together to make my own mini journaling spot notebook. I then added a perfect closure, colored with Jet Black Staz-On, to keep the book from flopping open while in my crop bag.

Now I can throw my custom journaling notebook in my tool bag when I go to crops, saving space I would have used to carry stamps or multiple purchased journaling spots. Since the spots I made are all neutral colors, I can just dab a little ink on the edges to color the journal spot to match any project. When I run out of journaling spots, I’ll remove the O-wires, add new spots, and then reattach the covers.
