We got this really cute paper in at the LSS where I teach that is from Canvas Corp. I love the Kraft paper and the chevron pattern. Then to top it off it had a page of sentiments about being crafty. I covered a composition book with the chevron paper front and back and then cut out some of my favorite sentiments to decorate the front. I also used a black pearl pen to draw some squiggles on it.
I kept it nice and flat so there are not embellishments to knock off with a lot of use.
