Joint Blog Hop with eclectic Paperie, and Sweet & Sassy Stamps!

Good morning from Judy Jackson. I am a Design Team member for the Technique Junkie Newsletter.    I love stamping and I love using new techniques to create cards, scrapbook pages, and various projects!   This is a Joint Blog Hop for three wonderful companies -- Technique Junkie newsletter, eclectic Paperie, and Sweet and Sassy Stamps.   I used the Pocket Post-It Pad technique from the Technique Junkie Great Gifts CD which all of the projects come from for this Blog Hop!
eclectic Paperie is an online boutique for all who love paper crafts. They have an eclectic assortment of products, supplies, tools, and materials to assist you in your quest for creative expression.  They know you will find something to "feed your creativity".
Technique Junkie Newsletter is a bi-monthly publication with step by step tutorials which encourage you to use your supplies in fun and creative ways. TJN also produces tutorial CDs with printable PDFs in a variety of themes. 

Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps is a small, family-owned, Christian company offering exclusive images and designs in both clear and digital stamps.  They also carry a small number of exclusive die designs, some of which coordinate with our stamps.

And now for my project:


I will tell you there is a slight error in the instructions for this technique.  You will need to score at 3 1/4, 3 3/4, and at 4 1/4 inches to create this wonderful project. 

I used papers, buttons, Baker's Twine,  hat pins,  and a cloth tag from eclectic Paperie.  I used the Vintage Ornaments Clear Stamp Set  from Sweet and Sassy Stamps.
