I found these cute notebooks with dividers and pockets at the Super Target at Stone Mountain when I was visiting Sarah in November. I’ve made three of them now; one for me and two for friends. This was for my friend Lynn. It’s a notebook for keeping track of great scrapbook ideas you find in books and magazines. Each divider is decorated as well and I added a library pocket to the
inside cover with a tag to keep track of the books or magazines that
are referenced.I labeled my dividers “Layout Designs/Titles,” “Cards/Projects,” and “Embellishments/Holidays.” So far it’s been really helpful.  I have a code for the magazine that is referenced on the tag, then a brief comment about the idea (ie. “tiny tages for dates & titles”) and then the page number. Now if I remember an idea I saw, I can usually find it pretty quickly in my notes, or if I’m looking for a layout idea I can go to that section and know which magazines or books to look at. Far faster than leafing through my pretty extensive collection of idea books.
