Really Cute Maymay!💚

[@NanneeB]

I just found you about a week ago and I cannot begin to tell you how blessed I’ve been!! Talk about binge watching!! To have such a gifted crafting teacher who is also my sister in Christ is truly the best of the best!! I love how you show us your thought process in choosing and doing. I’ve learned so much and can even feel myself relaxing in my crafting, hearing that wonderful southern drawl telling me, “it’s not a problem… Doesn’t bother me… Doesn’t have to be perfect”. Thank you so much and may God bless and keep you and all your loved ones always❤️🙏🏼

[@lynnwharton6155]

you have given me sooo many ideas. thank you so very much. God Bless.

[@Tink70]

I am new to the world of crafting and I want to say Thank you for explaining measurements and even help with the measurements making it easier and simple and when you make a mistake you show how to undo them. You really take your time helping and teaching ...very much appreciated by me ... and I Love your personality

[@alicebair1811]

Love this! Great job! 💜

[@manijehhabibi]

Hello Maymay, I love every thing about what you do & make & your way of talking! Bless your sweet creative heart :}

[@kathysrandomactsofstampin]

I loved how this turned out. I have a bunch of these notebooks that my daughter gave me when she cleaned out her boys closets. I have plans now on altering them for a re-purpose. Thank you Maymay!! You so ROCK the crafting world.

[@lynenaya2690]

Happy Mother's Day

[@virginiawimer8064]

I made one--lots of mistakes but fairly good. Keep it for myself. Bought 4 more to Make as gifts Ty

[@SFergu-qw6lh]

I watch this playlist and i did this to make budget notebook. This has helped me stick with my financial goals.

[@sarahthibodeaux8922]

I've gotten back into crafts and this would make an awesome teacher gift!!!

[@janasher4940]

I love making these. I use a synthetic glue now due to the paper warp that happens with other glues. I love making the pockets out of 2 sheets folded into each other like a P-Chee sleave and covering with DSP. They last through a lot of pulls and tugs. Most of these composition books last 60 days depending how much you journal. They are very handing to have a sleeve pocket ever quarter way through.

[@trudyf1241]

Very pretty--i love it!

[@joanndankovchik4861]

Thank you, really helped me for my first art journal, great tutorial, am excited to start!!!!

[@jinglekringlemiller4058]

I totally love these videos. This gives me inspiration for my Christmas gifts for all of the girls in my family.... as journals, planners, or just to keep notes for crafting. Thanks so much for sharing this and compiling the playlist. It has been very helpful.

[@marilynmcleod1196]

This is so darling. Love the paper.. love your tutorials so much! They are so easy to follow and your voice is very calming to me. Sometimes I just need a dose of May May!!! I always need notebooks for my lists!

[@leeannnolin6047]

Nice tutorial! Thanks.

[@jewelldeanstokes5873]

I am impressed with the beauty of this project. I’m so glad that I found you I will be watching and hopefully making some of these projects thank you I love all of them

[@tanyastille5536]

You are so creative and an inspiration!

[@jeannejohnson1473]

What a great project. And I love how you make it up as you go along. It helps me see how to nit stress over accidents, but make them happy. I love how the tabs turned out!

[@TheYellowsun76]

Thank you! Maymay you inspired me with the first altered notebook video of yours I watched. (Years ago) I have made a handful of these for different people and themes even a baby book for my cousin who had twins and I thought this would be great for her to have at work or where ever to try and keep up with things she wanted to document with her busy w/twins life. I also made a camping journal, a travel journal for friends who travel and thought that would be fun to make notes on different places they have stayed. Thanks again, this turned out so cute.

[@pattyfowler9987]

May May, you made a sad bow. The way you make a happy bow, a bow that is always straight across, is to go around the front or back of the loop. If you go around front and it wants to slant then re tie it but go around the back of loop and it should be straight across, thus a happy bow! FYI. LOVED YOUR IDEAS!

[@jamiearrowood7566]

I have this collection and cannot bring myself to cut it. hahahaha! This is a good idea. I may make one or two.

[@deararee]

Definetely at my desk doing this project right now. The happy accident was adorable, i love these tabs more that my must have which is the stampin up tab punch. Tfs.

[@bhache2569]

[@kimwise2102]

Maymay I Love all your projects. You are so Amazing!

[@vixla4247]

I got a few of my favorite teenaged girls together and we altered composition books a few years ago. I chose to cover the black part however the way you showed us makes much more sense. I let the girls choose all the fibers, ribbons, etc and we tied around the middle of the book. Some added beads, charms, etc. Then they used ribbons, fibers as bookmarks...just in case they wanted to easily access a favorite moment or experience it even to keep track of which page they were on. Also the fibers were used to attach a favorite writing instrument. I wondered how the divider part worked. Loved the pockets, too.

[@sbudzinski]

Turned out so cute!

[@matildamontgomery3229]

Thank you for explaining about the adhesive problems I have at times.

[@elisebb8423]

Thanks for the detailed measurements. I enjoy learning from you, Maymay. These handy notebooks are fun to have around, and are appreciated by others who receive them!

Enjoyed very much. I think I could do this. So, need to check my paper stash...😊

[@teribusse8607]

Terrific job and great idea!!! You always inspire me :)

[@KathleenWeber]

I enjoy watching your videos & I think you have fantastic ideas. On this one tho, you have me wondering why you used such pretty papers for the tabs when you covered them up with plain, white paper?

[@genevievevalle3286]

I like it looks real nice

[@coldmountainpix]

Soooooo pretty! I'm regretting not waiting on my birthday purchase and not getting that beautiful paper! Love your notebook and you inspired me to make one too ❤😊

[@blossomandinspire]

[@melissanoble1621]

[@dianatursky5774]

Cute. Thank you.

[@44hopeful]

Very nice

[@michellefay8555]

😍😍😍😍

[@PearlHiggins1]

Maymay, are you using card stock or paper stock? Also, do you sell the paper kit that you are using for this project? Love love the paper and stickers in this project.

[@wealmostvegan]

🦋👍🏽😍

[@marshavenditto1421]

Nice

[@angelashock9837]

I use a ticket punch. Punch once full size, put one end in at half size. Fold in half, viola!

[@lw9248]

May May I love your videos on altering dollar store composition books. But I have a question. After you are finished with adding the decorative paper do you use mod podge to protect the papers. Are you using card stock or just decorative scrapbook paper? Thanks. Love your videos

[@tamthaluehrs]

Hi, we do not use any sealer on the pages or covers, and we are using designer paper, thanks

[@rubyzkid]

I have not had much satisfaction using double sided adhesive (score-tape, sookwang) on my pockets, they seem to pull apart over time. I use wet glue with better success.

[@alicebair1811]

Do you know what the name of this paper pack is, please?

[@tamthaluehrs]

Hi this collection is called Botanical Garden, we no longer have that available in the store, thanks

[@alicebair1811]

Thank you!! ❤

[@craftycorner5699]

[@ycartyahoo]
