Altered Composition Books

I made these altered mini composition books. They would be perfect for taking notes on homework, easily fits in a backpack, purse, they would be great to put in your purse to jot down notes, card ideas, layout ideas and such... These are so cute...

Stamped on the white ribbon, added stickles....Here is the final project....Let me know what you think...
