On Saturday I demonstrated how to make these FABULOUS refillable scratchpad holders. I had forgotten to write down part of the measurements and I also forgot to meantion where I found the idea when I was up front demoing. I get VERY nervous up there!!! Lisa Somerville at Splindiferous Creations came up with this idea. Or she was the first to post it. Either way I got it from her blog a LONG time ago. I like to make them!! They're a LOT of fun and SO easy to make. The step by step instructions that can be found on Lisa's blog are very clear and precise.
I find decorating them to be the best part. Not only because of how cute you can make them but because you can spend a bit of time decorating them and not feel bad that they will be tossed out right away because they are refillable!!! Yup, you can refill them!!! How cool is that??? You just slide the old one out and slide the new one in and it's good to go again!! I add my business label to the back of them so my information is always available!
Aren't they fun? You can use them for Customer Appreciation events, Hostess Gifts, Make N Takes, Craft Fairs and Gifts. Lots of possibilities here!!

I had purchased my scratchpads at Staples online. They had the best price. I bought them about a year ago. You may want to do a bit of shopping around to check and get the best price. I was a bit shocked at how much scratchpads were. I mean, it's just suppose to be leftover paper that is made into notebooks! One thing I did find out about Staples pads as opposed to the ones at Office Depot. Staples ones are uniform in shape. Office Depot ones are not only all NOT the same size but they are cut crooked too.
These items were made entirely of Stampin' Up! products. To view more items made entirely of Stampin' Up! products click here.
Thank you SO much for stopping by,

What a great idea for a gift, these are fantastic!
I've tagged you from my blog with no obligation to play along if you don't have the time.
Business-supply.com is also a good resource for officy type items. They call the item memo filler pads. I have had excellent service from them for almost three years. In MN they will deliver next day. I even purchased my 15" Carl cutter from them. Check it out, it is just another resource.
The first one is my favorite! Beautiful job Wanda!
Many Blessings,

I made some of these because of yours... only problem is I forgot to take pics before they went out in the mail!!!! hopefully my secret sister will take a pic of the one I sent her for me... just have to wait until she gets it!
Thanks for the inspiration!!!!!!!
I have made a scratch pad holder that is different from this one, but didn't allow to easily replace the pad of paper once it was used up. I'll have to begin using this design. Thanks for sharing.
