My version of a Dot Com Notebook

One of the Christmas gifts I created for my brother and brother-in-law, was what I refer to as a "dotcom" notebook.  Basically, a notebook for you to store your online sites, logons and passwords. 

The outside of the notebook was made with cardboard that I first painted with acrylic paint, and then stamped and inked with Distressed Inks. 

For the inside pages, I created a template in MS Word on a single page and had copies made.  Everything was put together with my Zutter Bind-It-All. 

This was a very simple, fast and easy project.  Plus, my brothers loved how handy it is for them.

Enjoy your Monday:D
