I made this book so that I could keep all my “to do” things in one place instead of having sticky notes all over my desk.  I used Bella Blvd’s Sunny Happy Skies collection for my book.  Here’s how you can make this cute little book.

I started out with a hard cover composition book that measures about 9.75” x 7.5.”  The book has about 100 pages.Cover both the front and the back of the book with a piece of 9 ¾” x 7 ½ inch paper (I used Sugar Patch.  Trim the edges around the rounded corners.  I inked the edges of the papers too.

Adhere the banner sticker to a piece of the blue Pandaland paper, cutting it the same length as the book height (9 ¾).  I also used the “today” letters from the Blurbs stickers on the end of the label sticker and added a couple of heart stickers.  I inked the edges of this piece also.

Now cut out some of the cute things from the Cute Cuts patterned sheet.  I chose the rainbow, a cloud, and a strip of trees from the Pandaland paper.  I also cut out one of the small hot air balloons from the Magic in the Sky paper.

For the lettering on my book, I used a Copic marker (R43) to color the white letters included on the Alpha+Bits sticker. 

Before adhering all the layers together I used some Avery Self-adhesive index tabs to add a tab for each month of the year and adhered them to every 9^th page in the composition book.After I got all my month tabs completed, I adhered all the cut outs on the front of the book, then highlighted the rainbow, the cloud, and all the letters with a bit of stickles (I used diamond because it allows the colors to shine through the glitter). 

And here’s the finished project.  This was fun to make and I know I’ll enjoy using it!
