Our Crafting in the Ochocos Retreat is this weekend and you can imagine I've been a busy beaver getting ready
I pretty much take my entire craft room with me and we will be having three days of creativity and fun!
I love making handmade items for my attendees and this is one I whipped out yesterday morning
This cute project was shared by Crafty Karen from the UK!! Thanks, Karen, for the inspiration!


I used 4 different pieces of the Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper

Here's a quick little picture tutorial
Cut a piece of cardstock 8" x 3 1/4" (you can get three out of a piece of 11" x 8 1/2" cardstock)
Score at 2", x 2 3/8", 5 1/2", 5 7/8"

Cut your designer series paper 3" x 1"; 3" x 2 7/8" and 3" x 1 7/8" (you can get two sets out of a 6" x 6" piece of paper)
Score the cardstock and fold up.
Adhere the 3" x 1" piece of designer series paper to the front bottom section

Adhere the 3" x 1 7/8" designer series paper to the top section

Adhere the 3" x 2 7/8" designer series paper to the back

Open up and insert your 3" x 3" Post It Note pad to the center

Fold up and add a velcro closure to the inside above the 1" piece of designer series paper
Attach both piece and fold down the top, so it will adhere to the inside

That is IT!! What a cute gift!!
I didn't add anything else. Handy for your purse, desk or as gifts!
