Embellished Notepads

Good Morning!  I'm sharing an idea inspired by Papertrey Inc. Monday challenge.  In the challenge, Melissa made mini notebooks.  I wanted to make something for the challenge, but I also wanted it to be something I would use.  SO...I decided to embellish some note pads that I have and use.  You probably have several of these lying around your house and you can also make them prettier and more fun to use as I did.

So here are the two notepads that I decided to embellish.


Then I just added some scrap paper that I had to the top front section.


Then I die cut some "flowers" from the button dies from Papertrey Inc and some leaves and hot glued them on the top.  And I used some stickles in the middle of the flowers.  I stamped a sentiment at the bottom as well as some flowers and leaves and Voila! The notepads were complete!
