An empty and blank notebook is a notebook unloved.

If you didn’t get enough inspiration of these Paper Patchwork notebook covers in the tutorial yesterday (How to make a Paper Patchwork Notebooks) where I showed you how you can “dress up” or alter a blank book and make it sparkling pretty, today I’m posting even more images of the notebooks we made.
I covered one of my black empty notebooks and mom two. I also covered the altered book I’m using as my Art Journal with paper patchwork, but with a twist. I’ll get to that book tomorrow… I really love the look and feel of these notebooks, and I hope you do too!
My personal notebook will become my next diary!
My new notebook flat out resting.
It’s finished and ready to be filled with more colorful content. Daily musings, drawings, receipts, stickers, postcards and notes is coming your way my darling.
In no time your look will have changed from crisp new to thick, full and used – one of the transformations I enjoy the most when it comes to notebooks, journals, blank books and altered books.

I love making Paper Patchwork Notebook covers! I think there will be more in my future.

Very lovely books!
I thought of using fabric pieces instead of paper. Should also work because the modge podge will protect it from fringing.
On the other hand I like the look of my very plain daily moleskins so very much. They have my colorful life inside.
I take your inspiration and will see what happen.
I love your books and what a great tutorial! I have been working in comp books myself lately and loving it.
The notebooks look great. You’ve both done a great job of personalizing them. And I recognize a lot of that paper! It’s great to see what you’re doing with it.
*hugs*

The notebooks look so inviting. I wich I had a blank one to decorate but it will have to wait.

These are lovely. I started one today with bigger patches even – but I still did not get to finish it! Things are so crazy in my house lately. What is funny is that we are both clearly using paper from Kelly Kilmer – we have some of the same stuff!
LOVE these notebooks! I think I’m getting some holiday-crafting inspiration here : )
I absolutely love the colors. WOW just gorgeous!
I have just found your blog through Google and got so excited after reading your first two posts that i had to come and let you know how fab i think your blog is before hurrying back to read the rest. You’re very talented and these notebooks are fantastic. I feel inspired to make my own.
Thank you for sharing,
