Now.....the Holiday's are ALL ABOUT MAKING LISTS (Santa's not the only one you know!!)
so I created this HANDY DANDY....

HOLIDAY NOTE PAD!!
(need some organization in all this chaos!!)

I began with a piece of Zutter Corrugated Board which I cut to size.
I then peeled off the top layer and lathered on multiple layers of paint.
I then pulled out some Beautiful Christmas papers by
Reminisce ~ A Christmas Story and Dear Santa
and a Gorgeous Velvet Poinsettia by Petaloo!

I cut a "spindly flower" from a piece of the SOOOON to be released
Frosted Plastic
and added a bit of Stickles for Bling!

I wanted to divided my Note Book into sections and I did so with edged pages of the
Frosted Plastic which I then embellished with Reminisce Stickers.
