Jolly good post-it note holder

On Thursday Teddy Bo launched their first Teddy Bo's Top Tip Thursday, (say that fast after a few vodka and cokes) so off I pootled to Tesco to get myself a post-it not block.  They were only 40pence so I got two, just in case.  In case of what I'm not sure, but definitely something. 

I began by following Jills brilliant instructions.  I already had Jolly the G Jiraffe printed off so thought I would go with a whole Giraffe theme. *And here comes my Top Tip* I didn't have any giraffe papers so I googled giraffe wallpaper and printed this great paper off.

Jolly is coloured with copic's.   The edges of all pieces of card have been edged in rusty hinge distress ink.  I used raffia ribbon from Wild Orchid Crafts in a few strips under the image.  The card candi added to the corners is by Craftwork cards.  The three tickets are Tim Holtz one's, I choose word's that I associate with Teddy Bo.

I would like to enter my post-it note easel card into the following challenges :

2 hours 2 late

This card was meant to be for the Lili of the Valley Challenge but as the title suggests I'm 2 hours too late, so I would like to enter it into the following challenges instead :
Craft us Crazy - Autumn colours
Bugaboo - anything goes
Secret Crafter - autumn colours
Color me creative - fall or Halloween inspired
Stamp with fun - autumn
Top tip - easel cards
Papertake - anything goes
Simon says stamp - multiple folds
Crating for all seasons - birthday

This card is made up of scraps.  The Kraft cardstock is actually the inside of coke boxes and the PP is from a magazine.  The leather effect panels are actually wallpaper samples thanks to my MIL for those.
The swirly corner is a die cut using a spellbinder die from a Christmas set.
The lili of the valley image is coloured with copic's, his hat is paper pieced with some of the backing paper and the sky is done using a template and distress ink.

Off for a bath to ease my achy bod,
Hugs

A way to show my thanks

I have a very good friend called Kath.  I met her 18 months ago through a card making class.

She is such a great friend who is always there to lend an ear and she drive's when we go on our craft road trips as I am unable to drive.  Nothings every too much for trouble for her.

When I saw the challenge on Stamptacular challenging you to make a card for a friend I decided to go one better and make a gift for Kath.  I sometimes go over to her house to help her out with her cricut and she has notes on lots of different paper's so I decided to alter a note book for her and to use one of her favourite digi stamp company Teddy Bo.

I am entering the notebook into the following challenges :

Stamp with fun - great sketch guys thanks

Teddy Bo - alter something

Stamptacular - friends are heaven sent

Paper Sundae's - clouds and sky

Do it with digi's - summer fun

Stamp Something - summer fun
Crafts 4 eternity - anything but a card

I began by buying a 99pence note book and then removed the cover. The Image was printed and then coloured with copic's.  I added glamour dust glitter to her bubbles an her pom pom of her hat.  The clouds are done with a cloud template and distress ink.

The three dotty papers are all Bo Bunny double dot.  The bubbles BP is by magnolia and possibly my favourite BP of all time.  The ribbon was ruffled by sticking parts of the ribbon with DST.  The pink raffia lace is by the paper cellar.

The notebook die cut is by Shery K designs and was cut on my cricut.  She has some brilliant svg files on her blog for free.  And finally the letters were also cut on my cricut.

TBH I don't want to let this notebook go but I feel like that with all my Teddy Bo makes.

I hope Kath likes it when she returns from her holiday,

Hugs
