Just a Note!

What a beautiful Thanksgiving we had. Our weather was a glorious 63 and sunny...what!!??!! I thought this was almost the end of November! Max enjoyed three nice walks and lots of lounging time in his backyard. We hosted dinner for 8 this year down from our usual 12-14 due to illness and work for some. But our house was filled with love, laughter, games and lots of eating! I just love our family to bits and bits.

I had previously posted that The Creative Paper Trade challenges have ended. I had done some work ahead so today I would like to share a project with you that I had prepared for our next round of challenges. Our Color My Week colors were to have been dusty rose, golden yellow, navy and red. 

As many of you know our daughter-in-law is a first grade teacher. She has asked me in the past to make her notepads for lists and notes she makes for school. I put this together with our sweet girl in mind. The outside features a floral October Afternoon paper that contained most of the colors needed. I die cut a small length of my PTI simple circles die from Harvest Gold felt then added two tiny navy buttons to it. To the center of this I added a Prima felt flower with my own teeny felt heart and some navy/white twine. 

When creating the base to hold my notepads (also from PTI) I included hidden magnets. You can see in the photo of the inside I made the flap from the reverse side of the OA paper. The plaid die cut flower you see on the tab has one magnet under it. The other is hidden under a vintage cream felt flower die cut. Fabric trim and some twine to decorate along with a chipboard polka dot button and a scrappling of a PTI filigree border.

Wishing you a delightful day ~Lisa
