I make these Note Pads to give along with a Tea gift item. Did you know I worked in a Tea Shop at the Mall selling loose teas and all the accessories that go with it? Haven't been able to work there these last few months, but I still buy tea there.
My Project: Click on the photos for more details. I try to coordinate the note pad colors (see 2nd photo) with the outside cardstock and pencils. I bought a bunch of these note pads a while back at AC Moore and cover them with cut-to-size card stock, type "Things To Do...after I have my tea" on my computer and then stamp a tea cup or tea pot on another piece of card stock. The image is colored and cut out then popped onto the front. I glue a magnet onto the back panel so it can be stuck on a refrigerator door, there is a small piece of magnet glued on the pencil too. Found an 8 pack of these glitter pencils at Target's Dollar Spot.
Cardstock: Purple is from Bazzell; White is PTI
Stamp: tea cup is Stampin' Up
Ink: Sepia from Archival Ink; purple, yellow, lime marker pens; glitter pens outline the image
Embellishments & Tools: Sheer ribbon is from Michael's; Yellow glitter is Stickles
Haven't been on my favorite Blog sites as much as I would like lately, but don't give up on me yet ~ I promise to try and catch up with you all soon. XOXO Helen

ReplyDeleteHey, Helen. You've been very quiet this last month. Hope all is okay with you!
ReplyDeleteHi Helen,
ReplyDeleteI love the tablet, that tea cup is fabulous! The colors are so rich! I'm sorry I have also been absent, lately. Internet issues, but things are better there, now. Well, I hope to be hearing from you soon. You take care of yourself, OK?
My Dearest Helen, I wish I had another way to reach you. I am so very sorry for your loss and I want to be able to reach out to you some other kind of way. Just rest on your faith, pray, bend GOD's ears, he allows it. Reach out for your family and friends, it's times like these that we need them most... That's what they're there for. Know you are loved! You're more than just a blogging buddy, I feel you're a real friend. With my Deepest Sympathy and love,
