with the help of my zutter bind it all i whipped these up in no time!...the front is one of my many paintchips...the middle...copier paper cut to match the size...the back...some chipboard also cut to size....punched holes in everything...then cut my wires for the binding and went to town!...
the paintchips i used were 4" inches by 5" inches...so they make nice sized notepads...sad thing...is even if i made a hundred these little rainbow cuties...i'd still have paintchips leftover...yeah...told you i had a buttload!....lol...
****check out my linky party directory to see where i'm linking to this week!...

Love, love, LOVE this idea!
Carrie, your ideas are super fantabulous!! TFS...:)
These are really cute. I have a ton of paintchips and never can figure out any uses for them.
Totally cute idea!!! TFS I am going to keep my eyes open for some of these bigger sized paint chips.
Fantastic idea! Pinning it now!
Holy Moly you are a crafting genius! I would never have seen paint chips and thought to make mini note books out of them - but NOW every time I see paint chips I'll think of you and mini notebooks!
Since you have so many, maybe you could do a little giveaway! You can challenge the recipients to make something creative and send you pictures!
Your creativity is infectious!
Such a cute and creative idea! LOVE it! :) Aren't you glad you are a paint chip hoarder! lol!
Is it wrong I want to go to the hardware store to get paint samples now??? Fun idea
Love Love love these! Wish I had a binder to whip some up!
Would love for you to share at Calling all Crafters!
