3. Attach Oxford paper to pen with spray mount adhesive. Sponge pen with Crystal Effect, and roll in micro beads (figure C).

4. Attach Oxford paper to Kraft card stock with spray mount adhesive, and trim to make front cover of notepad. Attach Kraft paper to back of front cover. Tie with organdy ribbon. Stamp "Notes" in Always Artichoke ink on Kraft card stock, rub edges of card stock against Always Artichoke pad, and layer on Always Artichoke card stock. Attach to cover. Using a sponge, rub edges of Kraft tab with Always Artichoke ink. Attach to cover.

Stamp "Thinking of You" in Always Artichoke ink on Very Vanilla card stock, distress card stock edges, and attach to card. Stamp Floral background in Always Artichoke ink on Mellow Moss card stock, cut out flower, crumple, and attach to card.

Tip from Sandi: For a creative title, cut your lettering out of a panoramic photo. Place a solid color behind to make the negative space pop (figure E).
