Here's the Scoop!

Hi, everybody! It's Suzanne, and today I'm sharing this little covered notepad that I made to keep next to my computer. 

I have so many different passwords to remember now that back I'm in school, and I find it hard to remember log in information for websites I don't often visit.

I decorated the front of the notepad cover with the Here's The Scoop and Treat Yourself clear stamp sets and a sheet from the Perfectly Plaid petite paper pack that matched the card stock I used to make the cover.

When the notepad cover is folded, it measures about 3.25 inches by 3.25 inches. I cut about 30 index cards down and hot glued them together to make the notepad. 

You can definitely make a larger notepad or use a larger pre-made notepad; just change the dimensions of the cover to fit your project. The full open size of this cover is 3.25 inches by about 7 inches.

I made an office envelope closure with two brads and some twine, but you can also use magnets or maybe temporary adhesive to keep the notepad closed. I also found that by folding the cover back, it creates an easel to make it easier to read what's on the notepad when it's on the table next to my laptop.

I hope you are inspired by my project to create some little notepads of your own! Thanks so much for stopping by today!

We're starting a new Lawnscaping challenge on Monday, and I hope you'll join us!

Fresh takes on some Lawn Fawn favorites!

Hi, Suzanne from the Facebook Inspiration Team (FIT) here to share some cards that will make you take a fresh look at your Lawn Fawn stamps!

For the January FIT blog hop, I posted this card. I made the waves with the big pattern stamp from Woodgrain Backdrops. Since I was so happy with this card, I was inspired to take another look at my Lawn Fawn stamps to see what new combos I could create!

This card uses the double popsicle from Here's the Scoop. Since the face on the popsicle is in the middle of the image, I cut it in half to make two smaller popsicles for a quick love-themed card.

Here's another sweet treat: I used the outline ice cream stamp from Here's the Scoop to make a popcorn-themed hello card!

So how did I make the popcorn box? I stamped the chopstick from Let's Roll five times, and colored each chopstick red. I cut the box from the card stock, adhered it to the card and added a little shading with one of my markers. (The faces on the kernels are from Milk And Cookies and Love You A Latte.)

I hope that the cards I've shared with you today inspire you to take a fresh look at your favorite Lawn Fawn sets and create something new! (FIT member Isha had a sweet post yesterday with her own "out of the box" ideas...make sure you check it out!)

Don't forget, you still have time to play along with our Dots and Stripes challenge, sponsored by Ellen Hutson!
