Back To School Time DIY Craft – Redesigned Composition Notebook

August 14, 2018 by 8 Comments

Redesigned Composition Notebook Craft

I can’t believe that it’s almost Back to School time! Seems like summer just started. I try to ease myself back into thinking “school” as I’m a teacher, and I also know my kids want to be home just having fun too!! So, I got a couple of the plain black composition notebooks (scored by a friend at Target last year after back to school on clearance, for $0.10, that’s right, 10 cents each!!)

How cute is this Redesigned Composition Notebook?

Materials list:

Composition Notebook
Large envelope
2 pieces of school themed patterned paper 9 3/4 inches by 6 inches (measure the height of your book)
Scraps of school themed patterned paper
Letter stickers (if you want to personalize)

That’s it!!

It was so incredibly easy!! I took the plain composition notebook, and attached the 1 inch piece of paper up against the spine, then attached the book paper to the edge (it overlapped the letter paper a little bit)

Deconstructed Composition Notebook

I did the same thing for the back of the book:

Upcycled Composition Notebook

And, just to add a little “something” I adhered a large envelope to the inside of the back cover, it would be a great place to keep little papers that you don’t want to lose, or a pen/pencil!

I took some letter stickers and a scrap piece from the papers and made the name tag for the front, and that was all there is to it!! I hope you’ll make some fun little notebooks for the back to schoolers in your life!

Trident at Walmart $1 Ibotta Cash Back Offer + a Sweepstakes!

August 8, 2018 by 3 Comments

This post was sponsored by Trident Gum as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own.

The new Ibotta offer to save on Trident Sugar Free Gum at Walmart is just perfect for our family. If you were to ask me “What are two things your husband has in his pocket right now?” I would immediately know the answer – his phone and gum. He ALWAYS has gum with him and it’s a great idea because it helps to curb those snacking cravings and his breath always smells good!

Trident Walmart Ibotta Offer

And while I don’t keep my gum in my pocket, I always have a pack in my purse. It’s nice to be the one to say “I do” whenever the question “Who has some gum?” comes up and hand over a stick of Trident! It’s an easy way to be helpful, plus it means I always have gum for myself!

Ibotta Trident Offer Walmart

So I was really happy to see this new offer from Ibotta gives you $1 cash back when you purchase Trident Sugar Free Gum at Walmart. This offer is for Trident Gum 8 Packs of Original, Spearmint & Tropical Twist, which you’ll find in the candy Aisle at Walmart, not at checkout!

Redeeming the offer is super easy. Just download the Ibotta app, buy Trident at Walmart, then scan your receipt and the product code right into the app. Easy peasy!

To celebrate this great offer, enter the Trident at Walmart Sweepstakes! Prizes include Six (6) $50 Walmart Gift Cards & One (1) $200 Walmart Gift Card (Grand Prize). The sweepstakes run through August 24th, 2018. Enter below.
