Fridge Notes

 Aren't these cute. 3x3 cards tucked into a little holder that you can post on your Fridge for easy access.

I made these with my  kids in mind as locker notes. But I think i need something a little more funky for them.

Little pieces of encouragement, thanks and friendship,ready to hand out.

You will need a piece of card stock, measuring 4 1/2" x 11 1/2".
Score at 4 1/2", 4 3/4" and again at 9 1/2" and 9 3/4".
You will also need to business sized envelopes (A10). Seal envelope, then cut 1/4" off each end.
Fold envelope in half.
Secure envelopes together. To create accordion center. Envelopes are then secured into your card stock.
I used  a belly band to secure the flap closure.
Attach magnets to back side, and decorate as you wish.

You can see it is attached to my filling cabinet. Attach yours to the refrigerator, for handy notes ready to send in a lunch or to grab on the way out of the door.

For Love

Simple, quick and easy. Need I say more? Early espresso classic ink makes for bold print. A couple of hearts for meaning. Always a little bling to make it stand out. There you have a quick card . This is what makes me happy :)

Tea for Two

 Here is another Portfolio Album that I created using the Tea for Two Designer series Paper.
Sorry, for the poor quality pictures. My makeshift photobox is not quite large enough for  something of this size.

I am not a tea fan! Coffee! Coffee! More Coffee! Please! Despite this,  I fell in love with this paper.

Sent with Love album

Here is a Album that I am working on for a special girl who has moved away :(  Her Family lived up the street. Their presence in our small community made a difference. So when my youngest, wanted to travel to visit. I agreed.

Jordan will fly for the first time Tuesday morning. Not only will this be her first flight, she will be doing it alone.  I have faith, that she will not be alone.

But, onto the project. This album was created for her friend. This girl has grow by leaps and bounds since leaving. How did she get so girlish? I want Jordan & Laura's brief week together to be special & remembered.

 So I created this album to record their adventures. I am sure these  Facebook mugging girls will take enormous amounts of pictures enough to fill this book.

These pictures, are without embellishment. Sorry. The book has already made its way to a suitcase. It will fly along with Jordan.

I have already added 2 pictures. One of the home that Laura will always be welcome. The other of Jordan riding Checkers. This I am sure will provide Laura at least one good laugh. I also enclosed a note from me.

The Paper is the Sent with Love Designer Series Paper, available until April 30. What will you create with this cool bundle?

Feeling Sentimental
