I seem to have amassed many different 12" x 12" sheets of ledger style scrapbooking paper, and not being hot on journalling on layouts (yet!), I thought I would rustle up a notebook or three.
I cut mountboard in 6" x 4" pairs, and glued on some patterned paper. Fancied them up, or not, and set them aside to dry.
I then trimmed the ledger paper to 6" x 4" pieces
found some other papers in my stash which were vaguely lined
and then some very old papers which are pale enough to write/draw on
I piled them up together, with a front and a back cover, and ring bound them
The plainer one just needed a little something more, so deep in my ancient stash I found
some K&Co diecut tabs
and once I started sticking, I couldn't stop until every page had a tab.
Ledger paper is for notebooks too!
Cheerio for now

The designs of the ledger book are simply strange and colorful. The idea of making a ledger book from wasted papers is so fabulous which is considered to be useless sometimes can also be made so worthy and useful by using different designs and techniques at home.
