You can go a step further and have your RSVP pen match your folio cover. Just unscrew the cap and insert a narrow piece of matching paper into the pen barrel and voila - a beautiful matching pen! Makes a great gift set.

[@MyBohoChicStyle]

Love this Lisa!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@missytodosciuk5911]

I’ve been doing that for a few years now when making it matching set of a pad holder or card gift sets or a recipe folio book. They are fun to do and really completes the look❤️

[@kristafenstad9214]

I am an author of Women's Fiction and am currently working on my 2nd novel. I love this size legal pad for notes etc while I write. I can't wait to make one of these to use. I will probably decorate it in paper with books, writing and library themed. I'm excited to get started. Thank you thank you thank you 👍👍🙂

[@carla109]

Maymay, how kind you are to be so giving of your time and talent for our wants. I adore this notepad just as much as the folio version and am so happy to be able to include a place to put a writing implement. I am so pleased I found your videos about five years ago. I have learned so much about paper crafting from you. Thank you so much! 💕

[@sheilakoza8765]

Missed the live, but watching the replay!

[@livingweirdestherc6644]

Super neat Maymay

[@dianetaulborg7435]

I like to add glue onto of my sticky tape to get a little wiggle room but you still get the Good sticky tape hold.

[@lindaclayton9794]

I love your voice, it has a very relaxing benefit during my down time of taking care of my 90 years young mom…….. thank you so dearly for giving me this time to look forward too.

[@Dodgeowner]

I am going to make my first one for a friend whose father will be going home to hospice. After my father’s death and the death of a best friend last year, from experience, you are constantly taking notes on medicines, care, store needs, visitors, etc. Keeping this close by, would really be a help. Also….leaving prayerful notes to care givers and the loved one. I will write on the first page, things I can do and when, times I am to to town (we all live WAY out) and can pick up needed items.

[@karenmsuk]

Once again could not watch live but .... My daddy gave me a pen set for graduation (ballpoint and fountain pen) and I gave my daughter a set for her graduation just last month. I am a pen snob and now my daughter is too as she favours a fountain pen and now has a nice one! I have dozens of pens that I use in gift sets, they are small and have a metal barrel so are nice enough for someone like me to consider using. I am adding this project to my list of things to make for charities I craft for.

[@richardlynngarst3728]

I love, love, love this project so much this is my Christmas gift for my sweet church sisters. Thank goodness you made this tutorial in July because I already have Christmas stocking sewing club in September. Let me add one thing - I had special pens made last year so this is absolutely perfect in so many ways!!! - Lynn

[@MsSuperklutz]

OMG Maymay OMG & WOWZERS What a brilliant idea for a Pen keeper with your Pad in Pad cover....gosh Brilliant to say the least and your Idea is Ingenious!!! I guess you could say your Project de-PEN-ds on how you use it...and Whoa any which way or any Old Way ya wanna use it cuz it's Spectacular!! YOU so did a Super Incredible Creative job!! YOU SO ROCK!! Joan Smith

[@terrieivon]

Thanks!

[@wendybelfry1110]

I can relate to The Pen Snob designation!

[@latricepearl2380]

Pen snob over here!

[@susanscott801]

My love tank is full, and you filled it for free, not $4.73 a gallon. Love your sweet friendship, teaching, and advice.

[@joterry7928]

I was BEYOND excited to get my Picture Perfect stamps! Oh heavens! 💖💟💕💓💞

[@janicecavin4111]

I am very much a pen snob! I have small hands & slender fingers so the fat pens especially with the little rubber around it just isn't comfortable & doesn't work for me. I also an particular about the way a pen writes so... I love this pad folio & am going to make one for my daughter as she is a teacher, she will love it & use it alot! Thank you for all your wonderful ideas! You are all such great Christian & crafting inspirations!

[@msdixie1972]

I just love y'all. 💕

[@memessweett4005]

Oh no , I got busy and missed the livestream, but no worries I can watch the replay. Thank you Maymay and Vinny and Shannon. Y’all have a wonderful day

[@debrahart4654]

PEN!! EnerGel is the best! Especially with .5 refill.

[@traceyshenanigans]

I think that you should include a pencil with the previous folio with the removable legal pad. Personally, the legal pad folio will be a temporary container. I use pencils for 'temporary' lists. I am definitely a PEN person, but I use my PEN (yes, my one and only favorite pen) for journalling and more permanent lists - such as Goals for the Month or Year. This folio would work for me as a 'stuff it in my pocket book for on the fly notes' that I then copy over after I get home. I have fallen back in love with the feel of pencils for my temporary lists. An added bonus is that when I copy over my temporary lists into their permanent home, I can keep my handwriting neater. :)

[@carmelabologna9051]

I loved this tutorial and I love you too! You had good reasons for not adding a pen to the notebook cover with a magnetic closure, HOWEVER, I still need a cover with both a closure and a pen. If I had to guess, you might have to add an additional flap to the edge because the cardstock is not wide enough to leave room for the closure flap too. I just cannot figure out how to add the closure flap to the end of the notepad. But if YOU could do it for us then everybody wins because we can make this how we want it with or without pen or magnetic closure. Do you think you could give it a try? I really need to get these done for my craft fair this year and am hoping for your help. And the pen could be inside or outside. I would so appreciate your help and experience. Thanks so much!!

[@SimplySharon57]

Yay! I got my Picture Perfect this week.

[@charlotteragan6583]

I make my forever journal from leather. My everyday journals can be plain or fancy paper.

[@Firebelle504]

Something I learned from Jenofeve … use a glue stick over the sticky tape. This gives you some wiggle room when applying it to your project. It has save me many times !

[@aseal5511]

not a pen person for notes. I LOVE the Pmate sharpwritter #2 mechanical pencils. Love your little legal pad binder, will make cute gifts for Xmas.

[@Tina-ub5fx]

Love RSVP pens

[@kathypatterson4630]

I really like this. Also, wanted you to know I have all of the pieces cut for my first folio. Can't wait to finish it.

[@janicecavin4111]

I really like the folio legal pad holder better. Do you think when you do the stand alone video for this one you could do the folio with the pen holder? That would be so amazing! I love the little flap closure. Thanks!

[@ladawnhollis4716]

Hi!!!! I finally was able to me here for the first time. Yeah.

[@mindyhall4788]

PEN SNOB FOR SURE!!!!!!! 🤩🤩🤩

[@dakotablue22]

I was just working on trying to make the legal pad removable 😊

[@lysafulbright564]

Pen! 😁

[@dakotablue22]

Yes on the stand-alone video

[@kimponte6234]

Pen 🤣🤣🤣🤣 pen snobs!!! Yup!

[@MyBohoChicStyle]

Love this project!! So glad you mentioned it being a good gift for men!! Maymay or Shannon: After you do the 3 scores for the pen holder, would it work to go ahead and cover that section with one piece of designer paper, THEN cut your pen loop? Then your pen loop would be covered with the paper too? Or am I thinking crazy and that wouldn’t work for some reason? Love to get your thoughts!! I’m looking forward to making these for Christmas gifts!!! 🥰

[@1SOBLESSEDGIFTSBYDESIGN]

Tina I had the same exact thought.☺️

[@MyBohoChicStyle]

@@1SOBLESSEDGIFTSBYDESIGN yes! I don’t think I would do as good a job as Maymay at covering each of those tiny scored areas lol!!

[@paulineburns8446]

P E N snob here preferably LAMY rollerball & fountain pen for certain things 😀🐨🇦🇺❤️

[@yvonnetucker1416]

YES WE WANT A PEN, I LOVE THIS

[@judibradshaw1948]

Watching replay but I will only use my pen as well!!!

[@missfortune6174]

Could you make larger gussets on the original design if you wanted? That would avoid having the 'bulge' right?

[@cathydurham10]

Pen!!!

[@melissazabower339]

Totally agree that pen snobs want their own favorite pen! Lol

[@holleydowns9385]

PEN…hi, I hate I missed the live, but watching now!

[@francinefernandez9288]

Yep I am a PEN Snob too 😃

[@joterry7928]

Pen snob!!! Oh yes!!! I'm a pen snob!!! And I rightly inherited that snobbery from my mama. And I passed it on to my daughter and granddaughter! It's great DNA to pass on!

[@elisebb8423]

Maymay, My favorite pen is exactly like yours! I've been using them for probably 20 years. I still have some that work, but now I'm having problems finding them again. Any suggestions?!!

[@candimayes]

I am a total pen snob...I feel so seen lol

[@candicerimell2601]

Can I ask the size of your legal pads so I can see what the equivalent is in the uk please? I love this, it’s fantastic! 😊

[@tamthaluehrs]

We are using the 5" x 8"

[@joannclupper7902]

PEN. SNOB. I love the same pen you do.

[@lynnlhall]

Pen…a fountain pen!

[@yvonnetucker1416]

Great deal MAYMAY my DISH WASHER did not last forever,

[@cathleenjones8973]

I'm not a pen snob, but my daughter is....lol

[@avedamontedesigns]
