Pocket Notebook and photo holder from Recycled Christmas Cards

Hi Crafters

Here is the last of the Recycled CHristmas Card projects

A cute little pocket notebook folder with a photo slot

For this project you need:
1 card
some Christmas paper
small piece of ribbon
small piece of black card
a pocket notebook

Score the 1/2cm either side of the centre fold  and 1cm on all four outside edges
Fold and burnish all the score lines 
Fold in the outer cm and glue down. Use a strong glue and hold in place while it is drying 
You may find it easier to cut little notches at the centre folds to stop it bunching 

Measure your folded card and cut a piece of christmas paper 1 cm smaller on both sides 
My opened card measured 27cm x 14cm, so my lining was 26cm x 13cm 

Cut 2 pieces of coordinating ribbon 8" long, attach to the inside in hte centre 
Lay the paper over the top and glue down securely
while this is drying cover the front of the notepad with matching paper
Cut a piece of Black card to fit inside the left side of the card and make photo corners 
When the lining is dry add the notepad to the right side and the picture frame to the left 

These make great little gifts for friends family and teachers 

Here is a list of items made using my Christmas cards
Gift bags and boxes
Bottle tags
Sweetie Tube to hang on the tree
Notebook several types
Tag book
Sturdy Gift Box 
Mini concertina folder for recipes etc

I am sure there are many other you can think of so roll on next Christmas
