Arteza's Sticky Notes

Years ago a fellow crafter, Ang, sent me the cutest little holder with a mini post a note pad in it.  I've had it always in my craft room.  When I saw the Arteza box of 3" Sticky Notes I knew exactly what I wanted to do with them.  I wanted to reproduce Ang's gift into the larger note size.  I chose the bright colored notes but they have them in several color schemes.  This box held 2 of 6 different colors.


Here are 3 of the ones I made.  I just searched my scraps for papers that matched the color of the pads inside.


Each pad is secured with an elastic closure and the pad of sticky notes sits snugly inside the little package.


Pop on over to the video and I'll share the whole process of how to make these little pad holders plus a walk - through to give you lots of food for thought to make your own.

Using Scraps - Lots of Tags

Hi everyone.  I have had so much fun playing and making some large tags just from scraps I've had laying around and the Tim Holtz Paper Dolls.


I ended up making 9 tags and could have just gone on and on  They are so fun and just take bits and pieces to make them unique from scraps I had here and there.  The tags measured 3.5" x 8.5" but they easily could be made whatever size you wish, especially since the Paper Dolls come in various sizes.



I loved finding something fun to pop the 'Dolls' on, like this little girls looks like she's just perched perfectly on the pocket.   


Here's a couple more little 'Dolls' perched on their pedestals.  Cute huh?


This is one of my favorites for a variety of reasons.  The lace across the bottom came from my Niece Lisa's hippy dress of the 70's.  It's the perfect adornment for my tag.  The little girls above have been halved, lol, I promise they weren't hurt in the process.  I cut right across their chest area and put part on the back flap and the rest on the front flap.  Love how they look.


These were so fun and I hope they will inspire you to dig out your scraps and make some tags of your own.  If you pop on over to the videos I'll share the complete process and a walk through close up of all 9 tags.
