Address Book by Debbie Fisher
With graduation fast approaching (it was May 12 for us and most schools around us), I was needing some girly gifts. I decided to make some address books for the recipients to keep track of their friends and family. I realize that nowadays we have internet, but I’m sure they will have thank you’s to write, birthday cards to send, etc.
A local store had these small notebooks. The covers are soft, but I knew I wanted to alter them. Tombow’s Glue Stick is perfect for adhering the patterned paper to the notepads. You want to get a VERY good coverage, so that in humid weather (such as we have) the paper doesn’t pop up where there is no adhesive. So go ahead and cover the WHOLE piece with the glue stick. 
To adhere those skinny letters, Mono Adhesive Dots is the perfect adhesive to use! You just add the adhesive to the back, adhere to the front of your project and then rub away any excess adhesive. I love using this adhesive for small pieces like this!
I used Mono Adhesive Permanent for the ribbon and tabs and Mono Multi Liquid Glue for the ric rac. All Inky Antic images are colored with Irojiten Pencils and blended with Gamsol.
Here is one I did in blues. 
and last but not least, here is one in pink
I hope this gave you some ideas for graduation gifts.

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week, with today being Teacher Appreciation Day. I am sharing a card with you today that I created for CHA in Jan. I have made extra and will be giving this to the teachers whose rooms I work in. I am a 9-12 grade para and work in all math classes and one reading class this semester so have enjoyed the number break in my day a bit. 
I stamped the image with permanent black ink onto watercolor paper and then colored her with Dual Brush Pens. The sentiment is also stamped and then underlined with a black Dual Brush Pen and colored along the edge with a soft brown. Mono Adhesive Permanent was used to adhere the panel pieces together. To make the image pop a bit, I used Foam Tabs to raise it.
I plan to give a card thanking the teachers for all their hard work and a homemade caramel apple. What are you doing for Teacher Appreciation Day/Week? I would love to hear from you as I’m always looking for new ideas.

This week on Tombow we are blog hopping with the Sweet Stamp Shop. We received sample stamps and one I rec’d was this mini bubblegum machine. I had seen some candy dispenser templates online and found one on the MTC forum that I used for today’s project.

I stamped the image in black and then hand drew in the bubblegum with a permanent pen (the image came with an empty gum machine image). Then I colored the image with Dual Brush Pens to match my bubblegum. I was fortunate to even find paper in my stash that matched!

I used Mono Adhesive Permanent to attache the patterned paper pieces and Power Bond Adhesive to put the box together.

Did you enjoy last week’s Fastener Tab challenge? I love all the inspiration the DT shared. We are back this week featuring Foam Tabs.
Today I have something creative to share with you. I have seen these owl pillow boxes on blogs and Pinterest (my new addiction for awhile now) and have had them saved in my favorites to make. I first saw them here on Lynn’s blog and then here, here, here, here, and here. So I just took a little from each to create my own.
I am using Cutting Cafe’s Assorted Pillow Box set and Assorted Heart Borders set to create my owl box.
Is this cute or what?! I love how it turned out. I named her Owl-ivia. Ü Now she just needs her tummy filled with chocolate and she is ready to give as a gift.
A few details:
I glued the bottom end shut with Tombow’s Multi Liquid Glue so that I wouldn’t have to worry about goodies falling out.
Next time I will make the “wings” a bit bigger. I used an oval punch, but think they need to be a bit bigger and this was the biggest one I had.
I scrunched the ends of the heart border up to give a little dimension.
The beak is the bottom of a cut heart. The beak, wings, and borders were adhered with Mono Adhesive Permanent.
Love how my crocheted flowers worked for the eyes! The flowers and buttons were adhered with Power Tabs.
The “eyelids” were attached with Tombow’s Foam Tabs. The tiny foam tabs were the right size for going around the outside edge.

http://twitter.com/#tombowusaThis month we are trying something new on the blog. Our challenges all month long are featuring specific Tombow products. I hope you enjoy the weekly challenges and we would love to have you comment and let us know what you think.
I have a fun little Easter bag to share with you today using Fastener Tabs. .jpg)

I have some mini paper bags (about 3.5″ wide) that I made this little treat holder with. (You can see a tutorial for this type of bag here.) I used Inky Antics 11088MC Chocolate Rabbit HoneyPOP Clear Set to create this project along with their brown Honeycomb paper. I colored the ears with Irojiten Coral Pink pencil.

The panel the bunny is on is a flap that is held down with Tombow’s super thin Fastener Tabs. I love how ultra thin, yet so strong these are! I also used Mono Adhesive Permanent to adhere all the cardstock pieces and Mono Glue Stick to adhere the Honeycomb bunny.
Here is another one I made with a little bit larger sack for a completely different look.
It’s the last week of the month, so that means Anything But a Card challenge week on Tombow.
I had some My Mind’s Eye scraps I thought I would see if I could use up and the sizes were perfect to make these mini notepads. (inside is a jr. legal pad cut in half)
I was able to get 3 notepads. Perfect for having on hand when you need a little special gift.

I used Mono Adhesive permanent to adhere all the pieces together.

The theme this week for Tombow is Hugs. The fun thing about this challenge is that you can make a card/project for any occasion or the best occasion….”just because”. Can’t we all use a hug?

Cutting Cafe has a Hershey Kiss shaped box that I thought would be perfect for my project this week. I cut the box with watercolor paper and made raspberry stripes with Dual Brush Pen #837 Wine Red.
**Tip: to sponge edges to match ink color; color on plastic with Dual Brush Pen and pick up with a sponge, then sponge the edges.
I used Mono Multi glue on the tabs to glue the box together. I stamped 0031D Consider Yourself from Inky Antic’s and adhered it with Mono Adhesive Permanent to the box.

Then just filled cello bag with Hershey Raspberry Hugs and tied off with a bow. Wouldn’t this just brighten your day….”just because”?

If you have followed me here or on my blog at all, you will know I love making these notepads. They were also a huge hit at CHA. They are so quick and easy to make, fit into your purse and the perfect size for keeping track of things our minds so easily forget (esp. as we grow older. Ü)
.jpg)
I used Fancy Pants papers. I love using double sided papers as it makes creating projects like this so easy. The just a note was created on my compter. I just made a sheet of them and then centered them with my circle punch and punched out. I used Mono Adhesive Permanent to adhere the papers to the notepad.
This is the first time I’ve made a tab closure. To give the tab more strength, I adhered Power Tabs to the end of the tab that went to the back, and then a Fastener Tab for the round end that goes to the front.

I hope you enjoyed this project and will give it a try.
PS: Be sure to go HERE if you haven’t to sign up for Tombow’s Leap Year prize.
This week on Tombow our challenge was Designer’s Choice. These are my favorite challenges. Ü It gives us the creative license to really shine and show what we like to do the most.
I thought I would share one of the most popular make n takes I taught at CHA. This was the first time (of course it was only my second time at CHA and first time teaching what I had designed. LOL) that I had a line of gals waiting to take my classes.
For this make-n-take, we altered a composition notebook. Here is a pee at the front. We also added papers inside the front and back covers as well as covered the back. You can see more details and pictures on my blog.

Here is a close-up of the fabric flower made using Tombow’s Mono Multi and Power Tabs:.jpg)

And a closer view of the tabs using Mono Adhesive Permanent (put them on the first page and every 20 after that:

I hope this project inspired you to try altering a composition notebook or any kind of notebook.

How do you like my sentiment? HAHA! I even thought of that myself. This week on Tombow we are focusing on the Irojiten colored pencils. My favorite way to color is using colored pencils and Gamsol, so this is a fun challenge for me.
This is a card I created for CHA and those that took the class loved it. They had alot of fun coloring the image and using the Irojiten pencils for the first time.
.jpg)
The colored pencils I used are:
Rain Forest: D03Autumn Leaf, D02 Chestnut Brown, P06 Ice Green, V06 Peacock Blue
Woodlands: P11 Rose Pink, P18 Celeste Blue, D15 Mustard, Lg02 Cork, D12 Maroon
Seascape: DL05 Verdigris
in addition:
Saddle Brown #977 was used to create the dots and dashes around the stamped image and Mono Adhesive Permanent to adhere all the pieces together.
I found out at CHA that the image from Stampavie is no longer available, but they do have a new owl image out. Patterned papers are by Echo Park.
Thank you for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful day filled with love and surprises.
