Cute stocking stuffers

Did you ever search your pocket or purse for a piece of paper and have none?  In the mail art package I received last month from Eileen, the Artful Crafter, were a couple of packets of sticky notes in cute paper holders that she made.  They are assembled like matchbook covers, with sticky notes instead of matches inside. What a great idea!  So I was inspired to make some as little Christmas gifts.

Using Photoshop, I scanned a couple of drawings from my nature journal and made the cover design, adding some swirly brushes to the background and text greetings.  Then I printed them in color and cut and assembled them, using a bit of stick-on Velcro to make them close and hold.  For complete instructions, Eileen's tutorial can be found at Scorit.com.
