BLING BLING!!! I made these little Junior Mini Note Pads for hostess gifts! So if you're hosting a workshop for me – you're gonna get one!!! My SU friend from Colorado - Celisa – made one for me….so I just had to try them…EASY PEASY!
Here are the details:
- I bought a pack of Junior Legal Pads and took them to my copy shop – they cut them vertically for me – for a VERY nominal fee;
- The Junior Legal Pad cover is Real Red 5 1/2” x 8 1/4” cardstock scored at 2 5/8” and 2 7/8” down the middle;
- The little layer that covers the top of the notepad is 2" x 2 1/2";
- The pens can be purchased at any office supply store – they have the clear barrel;
- 11" of Pretty In Pink Satin Ribbon from the Occasions Mini Catalog for the cover;
- 4" of Pretty In Pink Ribbon for the pen holder;
- With All My Love stamp set (118134 Wood Mount & 118623 Clear Mount) from the Occasions Mini catalog;
- I used Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder and the Real Red Craft pad to emboss "Friend";
- New Pinking Hearts Border Punch for the Pink layer under "Friend";
- I have a PDF file with the calendar….leave a comment and I'll email it to you!
Here's a close up of the back…notice how I staggered the ribbon on the back. If you do that – you'll be catching both pieces with the regular tape to help secure the pen holder.
I used Sticky Strip in the top, bottom and both sides. I put an extra piece over the ribbon too – I don't want the pen holder to fall out.
It's hard to see here…but Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder was used on the "friend" stamp – just keeps up with the whole BLING of the Sending Love Specialty Designer Paper!
Thanks for stopping by….

This is such a great idea! I am always looking for inexpensive ideas for RAK, teachers, co-workers…. The calendar is an awesome idea too – what would we do without a calendar at our fingertips? Would it be ok if I lifted this?

Just as people said, “life is like a book, how would you like to write, it’s what kind of guide. So our personal attitude determines life. Certainly, we should really go through alot more meaningful publication, it can give us inspiration.
Hi, I was wondering if you have a 2011 calendar for these that you can share. I love them and would like to make some gifts for Christmas using them. Thanks.
I would love a copy of the PDF, although late in the year I would like to make some for school next month. Thanks!
Hi Kelly – I have had this listed as one of my fav’s for quite awhile now and have finally decided to try it. Could you email the instructions and the pdf for the calendar. I simply love this idea and want to play around with it. Thanks….gina
