Index Card Notebook

Hi Everyone! I have a fun little project to share with you today! Just in time for Valentine's Day! 

My daughter wanted something to give her BFF for Valentine's Day. Since we don't do treats (allergies), we do stationery stuff (actually she had a list of stationery stuff to give her!), cause you know I am a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and all! lol. 

This is what I came up with!

An Index Card Notebook!

You can put as many index cards as you would like, and when those are all filled up, you can empty it and refill it with more or continue to add more! That is the beauty of this project, it never ends!

Supplies:

Paper: 
3 x 5" Whisper White Thick Card stock
2 3/4 x 4 3/4" cardstock
2 1/2 x 4 1/2" DSP

Accessories:
3 x 5" Index Cards
Binder Rings (various size)
Crop-a-dile (to punch through many layers of paper, if not just a single whole punch will do)

A tutorial on how I made it!

Here are the products that I used.

Mini Treat Bag for Halloween

Hi Everyone! Today I have for you a little Halloween project. Don't worry it's not too complicated or too easy. Just perfect actually! 

I knew I wanted to use the Mini Treat Bag Thinlit for some Halloween goodies for my family. We don't do too much here for Halloween. So this is the perfect size treat for them. 

While you have the Mini Treat Bag Thinlit on your paper, I added a circle framelit because I wanted to make the front a pumpkin. That way you don't have to run it through twice. Then I made a circle frame using 2 Circle Framelits (in Pumpkin Pie) and attached it with adhesive. The stem is actually from the Wonderful Wreath Framelit in Baked Brown Sugar. The leaf is from Quickcuts in Garden Green.

I put my goodies in a cellophane bag and added some black ribbon. Hope you like it!

Thanks for stopping by, if you have any questions let me know!

Happy Stamping!

Disclaimer: I LOVE all of Stampin' Up!'s stuff, but I already have some Halloween stamp sets and since we really don't go all out for Halloween I decided to spend my money on other things in the catalog. Plus I have a lot of things that are retired that I need to use up, which also gives you ideas on how to use up the products that you already have too.

So sorry!

Hi everyone! It's been forever hasn't it! Sorry about that. Summer just kinda snuck up on me and the kids were home, etc. Anyway, enough of the blah blah blah! I'm back, so that is all that matters! 

Today's card for you is a sad one! My really good neighbour had to let her beloved cat go to animal heaven the other day. So sad! She had her for about 12 years. 

The cat stamp and the paw print are not Stampin' Up!. They were the only ones that I have with a cat.

Normally I would have given her flowers or a baked good of some kind, but I just didn't have anything. My wonderful daughter suggested that I give her homemade potato chips. 

She absolutely loved them! Made her day (which of course we were happy about)!
