Post It Note Holder

Here is another project I worked on today for my upcoming mother/daughter stamp camp on Friday. The idea is that of the very talented Andrea Walford (http://andreawalford.com) and I had a lot of fun making this cute post-it-note holder. The base is made from a (2) 4" coasters covered with designer paper. The tutorial can be found on Andrea's blog. Thanks for stopping by!

Designer Bags

I absolutely LOVE these designer bags! They are a breeze to make and they are so cute! I found a wonderful tutorial Diana Gibbs (http://dianagibbs.typepad.com/stampin_with_di/) and Cambria's blogs that have a more visual and detailed description of the bags. You create a base that is 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" (scored at 1" from each edge). You then adhere the 5 1/2" x 11" designer paper to the base and secure at the center seam using sticky strip tape. Cut a 1 1/2" x 11" piece of designer paper and secure at the bottom. Cut (2) round tabs and secure at the top and add an eyelet; decorate as desired. This is one of the projects we'll do at my upcoming mother/daughter stamp camp!

Halloween Pixie Sticks
