Paint Chip Mini Notebook

Lydia teaches you how to make cute mini-notebooks using Paint chip samples! A great way to recycle those old paint chips from your last painting project. Gather your paint chips (or get new ones from the home improvement store), small stamps, a round die-cut, a stapler, and copy paper to make these adorable little books. You will also learn a technique Lydia calls 'Rock and Roll,' which is a method for inking a stamp in two shades of the same color at once. See more of Lydia's projects on her website:

I am a paper arts instructor in Austin, TX. I have a weekly instructional art show on local TV where I demonstrate making simple cards and gifts with rubber stamps and accessories, using a variety of techniques and graphic design principles.

I also do freelance graphic design and marketing and work full time as the Director of Market Development for a software company.

My work has been featured in OnStage Magazine and I was quoted in Martha Stewart's 15th anniversary edition of her magazine.

These little notepads are so cute. I've never been that interested in paper arts, but Lydia's projects have inspired me to try new crafts. I was about to recycle some paint chips, but they will now be re-purposed into these little notepads, instead.
