Matchbook scratch pads

What do you do with all your scrap paper? I usually make my own greeting cards and gift tags, and keep the leftover scraps for future craft projects. I don't always get around to using them, so they sit in a box waiting, waiting, waiting...

I discovered some 1 x 7 inch strips of cardstock in my pile of scraps which I used to make these little matchbook style scratch pads. They're perfect for throwing into your purse and come in handy when you need to scribble a short note or jot down a phone number. They're quick and easy to make. I decorated them using security envelope patterns and some punched out flowers.
