A Week of Giving


I haven't posted in a bit because I've been busy, OK, frantically, trying to get my handmade Christmas gifts started....yes I'm way behind, but this is my week to catch up and I'm going to share some project with you.
I needed a little inspiration for this first example so I turned to Stampin' Royality this week hoping for a sketch or color challenge and I was rewarded with a great sketch.
I just love these 5x5 notebooks as gifts. You can give them to anyone and they are my go to gift for the person who stops by with something for you and you have nothing for them. I keep a couple of them wrapped with some chocolate at the ready.
I used some retired DSP ( I'm surprised I had some of this left since I adore the preppy look of it), with my fave Pacific Point card stock, and very vanilla. I added some Poppy Parade ink and card stock for a pop. I used the scallop border, scallop circle, and two step owl punches. The stamped owls are from Aviary stamp set.
Tonight I am having a great giving class that I will post tomorrow....I'm very excited about it!
