New and Improved Post it Note Cover

I found some miniature pens on clearance after Christmas and I couldn't pass them up.  I wanted to incorporate the pen into my Post-it-Note Cover shown in this post and this post. 

I have seen videos and pictures of a similar cover, however, I wanted to incorporate the Velcro closure.  Adding a Velcro closure and a closing flap makes this perfect for carrying in the purse.  The flap and Velcro closure keep your Post-it-Notes from being mangled in the purse.

The picture tutorial with instructions and a diagram are available for the modest price of $2.79. Once your payment is processed, I will email you the three-page tutorial within twenty-four hours.

Alabama and Auburn Fans

I have Post-it-Notes available in your favorite team colors.   These make PERFECT stocking stuffers.  I will personalize them with one initial at no extra charge.

Getting Ready for Heritage Festival

I have always wanted to have a booth at a craft show or art festival.  On October 16, I will have my first craft booth at the Heritage Festival in Jasper, Alabama.  To read more about the Heritage Festival, click here.

I love making cards and paper crafting.  Over the past few years I have made so many paper craft items that my craft closet and drawers are full.  I have over six shoe boxes full of handmade greeting cards.  I hope my first craft booth is a success.

As you well know, I love Stampin' Up! products.  I purchased the Night and Day Speciality Designer Series Paper a few years ago.  In this paper pack, one of the designs is black and white houndstooth.  When I saw the paper, I knew exactly how I would put it to good use.  The first item I created using this paper was an altered mini composition book.  When a Crimson Tide fan saw it, she had to have it!

When I decided to have booth at this year's festival, I dug out the remaining houndstooth patterned paper and created a Post-it-Note holder/covers that I hope will be a BIG hit.

A friend suggested I should offer to personalize with an initial.  I actually like the Post-it-Note holder with the flower.  What do you think?  Please post your vote in my comments section.
