Did you know that you are more likely to keep your New Years Resolutions if you write them down? We have the perfect solution - a mini chipboard book with lined paper to write down those goals and add pictures and embellishments! Make one for yourself, your family, and even let your kids make their own!!

Supplies:
4 inch mini chipboard book (they come in all different shapes!)
4 x 4 inch sheets of paper (they actually come already in this size, or use any patterned paper and cut to size)
Assorted Ribbon
Rub-ons
Stickers
Metal tags
Hole Punch
Distressing Ink
Adhesive
Your own pictures

Directions:
1. For the outside, trace the chipboard cover of your book onto the 4 x 4 inch sheet of paper (they come in all shapes, so you have to trace on some of them.)
2. Cut out and adhere paper to chipboard cover.
3. Repeat for back of book and inside covers.
4. Punch holes with hole punch where rings go through.
5. Add Rub-ons, stickers, metal tags, etc…to front of book.
6. Tie ribbon around rings.
7. For the inside of the book, trace the pages on the 4x4 sheets of paper that you want to use.
8. Add pictures and embellishments.
9. Keep some of the pages just the lined paper, so you can write down your goals!
