PTI M.I.M. 220: Die Cut Mini Notebooks

This week's Make It Monday challenge at the PTI blog looked like fun. Mini notebooks made from die cuts! I am a BIG note taker, and I keep note pads everywhere. But lately, I really need them for my planner. I came up with a great way to use my dies and stamps to make a handy note pad for the personal planner!

Here it is! A fun little pocket that holds latte mugs, perfect for a fall cup of Pumpkin Spice!

I used one of the planner pages for dimensions, cut out card stock, and made a pocket. Then I punched holes to put it in the binder.

I added a few fall leaves for fun!

Then I die cut about a dozen latte mugs in white card stock, and they fit in the pocket perfectly!

And here's the fun part. I can decorate each mug with the washi tape that I keep in my planner at all times!

Now, when I am doing my weekly planning, I can have a mug of fun at the ready! The best part? I can keep it in the pocket, or pull it out and take it to go!

And here's one more option. If I have a really busy week that needs extra room for note taking (like the week when Sam starts school...coming soon!), I can pull out a mug and put the binder rings right through the handle! Perfect!
