My Pink Stamper- Wednesday Challenge

Since school is staring up soon, our Challenge today was to go along with that theme. Making a scrapbook page, card, gift for the teacher etc... My son is only 18 months old, so I thought I go with a gift that could be given to a teacher. In my case it will go to my mother-in-law, and she does teach my son lots of things... So that counts right?

I made a "post it note" holder, that can go your desk. It was so super simple. I got
this idea from "chic-n-scratch" So I can't take all the credit.






And yes the pen dose match, here's how you do it-

First take apart the pen and cut your paper -

Second roll your paper tightly and slide into the tube- And Last put your pen back together! So easy and cute!

I like to use "RSVP" or "Pilot" brand pens. RSVP is nice b/c it's wider and easier to get the paper in. But you can see the gold "RSVP" writing on the side. The piliot pen writing is clear but it has a smaller tube....So I'd say try both and see which one you like best!

What a neat idea - is there someplace where you have directions for how to make the holder? I'd love to make those for little gifts sometime. Great job!
