Hello again my friends! I have a little bit of a lengthy post for you today so I will not waste words and delve right in for ya!! Hope your week is going swell so far :o)

So I wanted to use another of Karen Lockhart's fabulous new stamps, this one is "Lemons & Bay Leaves" on my project. And it just so happened that yesterday's Technique Challenge #203 on SCS was to make an origami box--directions here! Similar products go for over $20 in little boutiques and this was super easy to put together--you only need 2 sheets of 12x12 dp and some liteweight cardboard (I used a SU insert from their dp packs)! This is some of my favorite dp by Imaginisce called "Black Tie" that I hoard it cuz' I lovee it soooo much :o) I added some diamond glaze to the lemons for a nice shine & the cardstock layers were made with my Nestability Labels 1 and added a ribbon-tie closure and some black glitter dots too! I put in 3 packs of bright yellow post-it notes that you can keep on your desk, but you could load it up with all sorts of goodies!
Make sure and stop by Susana's new store blog to see what the rest of the DT has come up with for the challenge today. We will also have a weekly tutorial/technique on the blog along with spotlighted products!
