NOTEBOOK with POCKET and FLAT PEN


At  3" x  5", this handy little Notebook can fit nicely into a purse or pocket.  I was inspired to make my own Notebook after watching a video by Michelle Allen on You Tube.   You can find that video HERE.
 

The flat pen slides right into a pocket on the inside.  The mini pad is refillable.


Flat pen measures 1" x  6".  I added a little eyelash yarn on the top.  I saw these flat pens on a tutorial many years ago and have been making them ever since.  You can find that HERE.


                                                                      Here's the back.

CARD AND GIFT BOX

 


I created this 'Gift and Card Box' using a background sheet from Home Sweet Home papers by Graphic 45.
I was inspired to make my own version after seeing one made by Sam Calcott.  You can find her tutorial HERE.  The sentiment reads 'Friends don't care if your house is clean...they care if you have wine!'  Card measures  7"x 7 1/2".

This is the inside.  This is designed specifically to be a gift and card in one.  The box holds a small bottle of wine.


Ephemera is from clip art on the internet.  I brought it into Photoshop and altered size and coloring.  Bottle reads 'Friends make the world beautiful'.


...and there you have it.  Thanks for stopping by...

ALTERED WOOD BLOCK

 


I created this altered wood block for a friend who is celebrating the 5th anniversary of her business.

This 4"x4" wood block is wrapped in cardstock using Graphic 45's Christmas Time Collection.  The mushrooms are from a digital kit called 'Enchanted Mushrooms' by Etsy designer Molly Anne Pinkleton.  I added a few silk flowers and some cardstock curly queues.
