So you know those plain old composition books that are always a part of the back to school sales?
I decided to alter one just in time for our School Daze hop! Look at the photo below and tell me if you can guess which subject this notebook will be for???
Did you guess Geography? If you did, then you would be right! I found a piece of cardstock from American Crafts in my stash that had a map of the United States printed on it, and thought it would be perfect for a geography book! I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out a geo tag pointing to the city my sweet little grandson lives in. He’s got a few more years before he is school age, but since I think of him all the time, this is just one more sweet reminder!
I put some red washi tape on the back of the geo tag to make it pop! Next I added some “air mail” washi to the side binding of the book. I thought it also followed the geography theme well! I wrapped some natural jute around everything and topped it off with a coordinating button. Ready for school!
Your next stop will be with…
the talented Alicia…just wait til you see what she has in store for you!

Love this idea! My son has to have seven different colored comp books this year.
Wow! What a cool notebook! Love it!
Very neat notebook! Love it!
Love the way you did the cover and was excited to see my home state of Michigan on it. 😉 I have done one of these covers in the past and you have inspired me to dig out another notebook to do one or two before the new school year begins. Something like this would make a great teacher's gift. Congratulations on your daughter's wedding.
I love altered composition books!
I love covered journals!! Love that you used a map and pinned your town!!!
