It's that time again for blog hopping! If you've just landed here first, worry not because you can follow the links and complete the circuit. If by some chance, you get a bit lost, you can find the entire list of bloggers here. Since we have so many bloggers, I'm keeping my post brief. But, I hope you like it. I know you will find lots of cool ideas...I've been amazed at the awesome talent displayed by this group. So have fun!
This is one of my very favorite projects because it is so useful. It's a stationery box originally created by the fabulous Jackie Topa. I've made a few minor modifications...instead of making my own address book, I covered a mini composition book and placed it in the medium pocket. I also included a small matching calculator. The large pocket accommodates several cards and envelopes. Jackie's version has all matching cards, notes and tags. Mine is a bit more "eclectic" (translation: with getting ready for convention and this blog hop, I ran out of time to make everything match).
All supplies are by Stampin' Up!: My Friend and Four Frames stamp sets; Basic Black textured cardstock; Calypso Coral, Always Artichoke and Very Vanilla smooth cardstock; Jet Black Stazon and Lucky Limeade ink; Paisley Prints Designer Series Paper; 2-1/2" Scallop punch, 2-1/2" Circle punch, Designer Label punch; Victoria crochet trim and Sticky Strip adhesive (a must!). Enjoy!!
BTW: Convention is coming up quick. I'll be taking my laptop and will try to post updates each day. Also, I'll be posting my tutorial for this project next week after convention.
