Post-it note pad holders

Hello!
I'm sorry I have not posted in a bit. I have been busy, like the rest of you, with all my holiday projects.

I have made mini desk calendars, these cute little note pads, card sets and gift bags.  I'm sure there is more that is all i can think of right now.  These little note pads are fun quick and easy to do.  I used an old tissue box for the base, covered with   pretty DSP.  The note pad is held in place with a  decorated binder clip. 

To finish the note pads off I put them in a clear celo bag tied with a pretty bow.  DONE!  a quick sweet little gift.

Hope you found my project inspiring today.
Happy Holidays!!

For the Birds Christmas

Hello!

I can't believe it's December 1st already!  Were do the days go. 

Today's card is another version of my favorite thing to make. Yes, it is a gift card holder.  You know you can never have to may of these laying around.    The bird image fits perfectly in the   Designer frames embossing folders.  The DSP is retired but as we all know we always have left overs.    It reminds me you should keep your eyes on the clearance rack. There is always so great items there.

Have a Great Day!
