I have so much fun coming up with creative projects and posts for the Family Economics section of the SC Johnson corporate website. The latest is a simple craft for making personalized stationery notecards using pages from discarded books and your sewing machine. Of course, hand stitching would work well, too! I find the books at a local thrift store or occasionally at a Friends of the Library sale.
For these notecards, I added a fun touch- faux apparel tags. Check out the d.i.y. notecard post HERE.
i lovess it!

love the notecard idea! Can you tell me what font you use for your name?
Thanks!
it's so simple but it has the force of evidence !
Love these! I'm trying this out, for sure-thanks so much!
they are just stunning !
Love, love, love this idea!!
absolutely the most clever thing i've experienced today!! thanks so much for sharing AND really get great d.i.y. info from your scjohnson site…thank you much!
I so heart anything that combines thread and paper. Dave gave me a card a few years ago with a piece of paper that featured a crown sewn onto the card. It's by far my favorite card that I ever received by him. I love this idea and need to do this for my Christmas cards this coming winter. A great inspiring post.
what a great idea- love that you're recycling materials!
I love the vintage look of the cards. Thanks so much for sharing!
Love the cards….Can you tell me the name of the font you use?

Oh I love this idea – especially the 'apparel tag' – too cute!
darling! I'm a bicycle nut, so this is just lovely!
great site, GREAT ideas. Thank you for the print outs too. I also love the quote from Erma Bombeck, I remember reading that after she died and really feel she did a great job with everything she got.
