This project at stamping last night was just too cute and clever not to share. I stamp with 4 teachers and one school district employee. This idea was borrowed from gifts that the Jr High principal gave to his staff. We're guessing his wife, Amy Lords, made them. So I want to give credit where it's probably due.Anyway, it's a note pad. The only stamping involved (which you can't see very well) is a little "just a note..." in the lower left hand corner. You take a photo frame and attach a post-it note pad to the outside, then add a few decorations. Make an insert of pretty paper, to which you've attached a "box" to hold your mini-pencil at the side. The pencil itself was wrapped in matching paper and a ribbon was tied to the top to keep it from slipping through the pencil holder.
Here is the decorated frame with the insert pulled out.
This is just to show what the picture frame normally looks like standing up, though for the note pad it gets used while it is laying (lying? I really need to learn that) down.One final comment on the project. I realized after I made it that I was just following instructions...and since I'm left-handed, it means that my pencil is on the wrong side. Mom, guess one of the things you are getting for your birthday next month? I'll have to make myself a new one.
Now this picture is because Ryan and his cousin Brent were so inspired by the "s'mores" that they went and made mini-s'mores. It cracked me up.
