PSO Binder Cover Decorating

This season I'm serving as Secretary for our school's PSO. I inherited this Binder of Minutes (pictured above) and although I do appreciate the smiley face, I wanted to jazz it up a bit. If I'm sitting in a meeting, I like to be surrounded by pretty. 

It was super easy to give the binder a makeover. I pulled this 9x10 predecorated scrapbook paper from my stash (from a local scrapbook store). The green titles were already on there so following their format, I added the black and white "PSO Minutes" and dates on white paper fed through my printer, cut into a square, mounted onto black cardstock to copy their shadow effect, then slide it into the front cover of the binder.  (fonts Curlz MT 72; Comic Sans MS 24)

What ordinary, mundane things are you adding your personal touch to? 

Life is short. Make it beautiful.

Happy Scrappin'!
