What to do with chipboard?

At work last week, I got a bunch of chipboard from these fliers that we had to send out.

One of the counselors at work knows that I do paper crafting so she saved all the chipboard for me! I brought it home and thought about it for a while and said to myself, "what can i make with this?"

I thought I'd give it a try and make another notebook (you know what I'm talking about Kyoko!)... It was a good thing I got to practice on Kyoko's one first! I finally got the hang of making the pages come out all the same! You'll be so proud of me Kyoko!! No laughing!!!


The paper I got from Pineapple Cove and I used two Jr. Legal size pads to make a 100 page notebook. I used 2 sheets of 12x12 paper and had enough to cover both sides of the notebook (front and back covers) and also to make pockets on the inside and I made a pen! I am not quite done with it yet, I'm going to put something on the front of it but I'm not sure what to put yet.

Thanks for looking!

LOL ... OMG JOY, I LOVE IT! You are a PRO and you gotta teach me how to make these next time we craft. Did you have to rip the pages one by one? I know, that's a dumb question ... hey I'm challenged okay!

Huggies,
Kyoko
