A post-it note

Tami Black issued a challenge on Late Night Stampers to create something with bits and pieces you have lying around.  Now this is something my friend Gwen is always talking about – she has an Another Day Box.  So inspired by both these wonderful ladies I decided to make a Post-It note holder.

I used a template that I found on The Three Sisters blog to create a post-it note holder.  I cut the cover from Sahara Sand cardstock and decorated it with little bits and pieces that I found in a small bucket I keep on my desk.  I embossed the lower front section using the Elegant Bouquet embossing folder.  The strip of paper on the top front section was in my little bucket and is a piece of cardstock decorated with one of the images from Extreme Elements in Real Red.  I also found a piece of Basic Black 5/8″ Satin Ribbon and wrapped it around the card scrap before attaching it to the front of the holder.   Next I found a couple of sets of leaves punched using the Two Step Bird Punch and a Real Red flower – also in my bucket.  I closed the front with a half velcro dot.  I added the little Real Red butterfly (from the Beautiful Butterflies sizzlit) to the bottom right hand corner.  I think it turned out really pretty and only took me about 5 minutes to make.  Now I can have something to write on in my purse all the time.

Bye for now, Kris.
