I love this Notebook die that was part of a Sizzix Eileen Hull vault release. It makes such a cute little mini or journal and it fits right inside the Treasure Box (also released this month).
When I make minis, I always cover my matboard with either design paper or plain cardstock before die-cutting. Then I glue on ribbons to use as ties before embellishing the front and back covers.
I have a ton of photos to share with you of all the inside pages so make yourself comfortable!
Before I show you the inside, take a look at the buttons on the spine. I used them to attach the elastic bands that bind in the signatures. I used thin, .8mm, elastic thread so that it would thread through the button's holes. I threaded it through each button hole creating two elastic bands and tied it off inside the cover.

I used a lot of Eileen's dies when making this mini and you can see how so many of her dies work together to enhance your projects.
Here's a link where I used the Treasure Box to hold 3 of these Notebooks.
