Legal Pad Journal Gift Idea

I love an idea that allows me to make gifts and use up products I already have in my stash.  Granted, I used a brand new paper pack on these guys but I could hardly resist.  I mean, the Fashionista set is so pretty!  

Also, I cannot tell you how many times you guys have asked me to make one of these and do it the way I would do it.  I did not make mine with a removable legal pad, I made it permanent and that may not be a great idea for some but you can always tear out the paper and add a new pad onto the existing cardboard left behind.  I really wanted the stability.

You can make it where you can take the legal pad out and replace it if you would like for me to show you how I would do that, let me know.
