Good Morning & Happy Thursday, Friends!
I can't believe that it's Thursday already! This week has been flying by!
Yesterday we hit the mid 80's and the ac had to get turned on for the the 1st time this season. I was fine with it being warmer but poor Bailee was panting away. We sat outback after supper and she just loves laying on the cool concrete porch watching to make sure no animals cross into her yard. She would stay there all day is she could and then chases the bunnies & squirrels away! Crazy little dog!
Anyways, today I promised I would share the Post It Note Holders that a friend had ordered. I love that she gave me idea's as to what she wanted on each one. Sometimes that challenges me but these were pretty easy! Also these were for some of the people at her her son's school.
This 1st one she requested was purple tulips...I pulled out some retired Flowering Fields DSP and used Highland Heather & Fresh Freesia Cardstocks with some White Ribbon & Purple Shimmer Gems.
The 2nd one was green & flowers...I used Lemon Lime Twist & Melon Mambo cardstocks with some Lemon Lime Twist ribbon along with the Simply Zinnia Designer Series Paper. (I think this is my favorite!) I also added some Shiny Adhesive Backed Sequins for a pop of sparkle!
The 3rd one was for a cat lover...I had to dig deep to find some cat paper in my stash but knew I had some! I found the Max & Whiskers paper from Basic Grey to cut out the cute kitty! The other paper is from American Crafts. This paper had the Summer Splash color in it so that is the cardstock I used on this along with some Summer Splash Shimmer Gems and White Ribbon. This one was so fun!
And the 4th one was for a young lady and she asked for pink...This one stumped me so I went in search of some cool summertime paper and found this pretty colorful flip flop paper by American Crafts called Shoreline. I used Melon Mambo & Daffodil Delight cardstocks with Daffodil Delight Ruched Ribbon and a few retired Melon Mambo Gems for some sparkle. Just perfect for summer!
I packaged up each Post It Note in a 4x6 Cello Bag and added the "Thanks for a great year" sentiment that I printed off the computer because I did not have any stamps with that saying on and placed them on each bag topper. I stapled the bags closed so the little pens would not fall out & get lost. Also, I have no idea where the pens came from as they have been in my stash for many years! The sentiment "You're the Best" came from the Happiest Day stamp set.
Thanks Shannon for your order! I absolutely loved making these for you!
They certainly make for a great little gift for the end of the year teachers/helpers!
Well, today I have 3 cards to finish up for Audrey then I can get her order delivered next week. She has her cancer treatment today and I know she does not like visitors for a few days afterwards so we planned on early next week for delivery! I always love my visits with her and look forward to seeing her! 💕
