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.
