Anything but a Card challenge at...

Tammy's Scrapin' Corner with Challenge #55 - Anything but a Card

 

I decided to make a little note pad cover, using the Pen Pal Mouse from Meljen's

I have a lot of these little golf pencils left over from a previous project from many years ago

They are perfect for this type of project.

 

 

My note pad measures 3-1/2" x 5"

I covered the front on the pad with Aqua cardstock, cut at 3-1/2" x 6, adhere the extra 1" at the back

I used the Cricut - Elegant Edges pg. 37 to cut the <Stamp-s> at 3-1/2" on red cardstock.

Printed and cut my Pen Pal Mouse image into a 3" x 3" square

Colored the image using the following Copic markers:

BG10, C-1, C-5, E02, E31, E33, R00, R20, R22, R27, Y02, Y08, Y17

I created a yellow 1-1/2" square banner and used old letter stickers to spell out NOTES

I also cut a strip of yellow cardstock to hold my pencil

Adhere this strip to the back of the pad and then to the front prior to attaching the image over the top

Finishing touch - added a gingham ribbon and bow

Sharing a Crafty Creation

Sharing a quick little Crafty Creation I made for friends and co-workers for Valentines Day.

However, this can be for any occasion and it measures just under 6.5"

Perfect for your desk top filled your your favorite treat!

 

 

I am sure many of you have seen this idea on Pinterest, which is such an inspirational site.

Pinterest is a great place to be inspired and get your creative juices flowing.

 

I changed up a few things to make it my own:

Added a little tag attached by a safety pin

Painted a wooden circle disk grey, added a # sticker, added a hand drawn cent sign.

This disk was then coated with Glossy Accents to give it a shiny metallic look.

 

Quick, Easy and Fun project with great results!

 

Thanks for stopping by today.  I'll be back tomorrow for a new sketch for Try Stampin' on Tuesday.

 

Until then...Catch the Frenzy! - Karen
