My friend is having a birthday and her present seemed a wee bit skimpy so I whipped up an altered 5-1/2 by 5-1/2 note pad and pencil that I got at the Dollarama for $1.25.
I covered it with Day and Night dsp. My new favorite SU paper,
Sanded the edges,
Added a strip of pink passion
Added Black velvet ribbon and secured a rhinestone brad to the bow
Added retired Cherished Memories rub ons (retired)
Hope she likes it.

She's going to love it! I tried to make a card with these colors and it failed dismally. Peggy-Sue, you've created an elegant gift that I know she'll cherish!

Of all people, I cant imagine any present you give someone seems a little 'skimpy'!! If anyone knows how to give a RAK, yikes, it sure is you. Oh, trust me, if this is anything like that fabulous note pad I received, she'll have that stashed in her bag in no time flat. This is fabulous, just like the crafter/giver!

Everytime your friend uses her altered note pad, she will think of how sweet and creative you are. This is super pretty. Very nice job. TFS :0)
