Happy stampin'!

Simple Birthday? Thank You

I am a HUGE fan of the

"Simple Birthday Thank You" stamp by Stampin' Up!!

I love using this image for more

than just the "thank you" for which it was intended.

I usually "MASK" the words before stamping

or cover the word portion with DSP (patterned paper.)

*

However, my friend, Greta may have just topped all

with her take on using this image WITH the words present!

At a recent stamp club,
I told her to just pay for her order next time.

She sent her check along with this adorable card!

I LOVE how she used the "Thank you for the..."

and filled in with "extra time to pay my bill."

Is that not a HOOT?!

I was so crackin' up!!!

Thanks for the chuckle, Greta, as well as the great idea!

*

I now see this image (WITH words)

being used for all sorts of things...

"Thank you for the..."

"shoulder to lean on."

"helping hand."

"new baby dinner."

on and on are the ideas!

Post It Note Pad Cover

So I took my

Perfectly Shaped Build a Book

Mini Scallop piece by

MOSD

and sliced away!

I love using these pieces for mini albums!

They work perfectly for all sorts of little books!

*

But I also enjoy thinking outside my box

so I like to take my Build a Book pieces

and play around a bit

just to see what I can come up with

other than a mini album.

*

Today's Build a Book piece

delivers the cutest little note pad cover,

don't you think?!

*

The first photo shows how it looks without its band.

(I used a brown hairband... inexpensive and pretty too!)

Wouldn't this look adorable sitting on a desk?!

*

And the photo above shows the note pad

WITH the band in place.

Pop it into the purse and you are ready

to brag as well as take notes!  LOL

*

You will see below just how I trimmed my

Mini Scallop Piece

to create my note pad cover.

The cover folds around the top of the note pad

and down about halfway of the back.

Then I covered the back

completely with a 3x3 piece of

Chocolate Chip card stock.

*

Check back soon to see what I come up with

using the remaining pieces of my

Perfectly Shaped Build a Book pieces.
