Coffee cans, new cards at Dizzy Broad, gorgeous notepad and clown cards

What do you do with these?






These continue to stack up as we LOVE coffee! They are made out of cardboard and come with a plastic lid. Certainly don't want to take up room in the trash for these and I don't think they can go in the paper recycling. Any ideas? (Yep, they're from Trader Joe's!)

Here are some fun, new notecards in the shop right now! This is from SU! fruit stamp set (I think it may be retired?). I went nuts making the matching handmade envelopes using retired SU! colored paper.



And...I'm still dolling up the GIVEAWAY so photo is still on it's way!!








Lookee here! Isn't this an adorable notepad? Sending this to hadesigns for inspiration for my Dizzy Broad banner. The butterfly is die cut from vellum then I used a glitter pen to add sparkle.










Paper is from SEI Chocolat. Notepad holder opens up to reveal the notepad in the center. Can't take credit for the design though :-) Found it on SCS but I may change the design so when the notepad is all used up, you can just remove it and put a new one in (currently this design has the notepad glued to the folder so you'll have to discard the entire thing when done). If you'd like the link to the directions to make this, leave me a comment here and I'll go dig it up.






Kids and I made these clown cards (from Basic Grey's Build a Clown clear stamps) as thank you cards for all the Sunshine Clowns we met in Florida. Becca and Grant handcolored the individual clown body parts then I assembled them with brads and dimensional tape. The legs and arms actually move!










Background stamp behind the clown is from SU! - it's a jumbo roller wheel. Finally had a reason and occasion to use it!




Have a great Friday!

I'm waiting by the mailbox for that beautiful paper notepad to arrive!!!! Gigi, it looks gorgeous! No wonder you love that paper so much! :)

The clown cards are adorable... the kids did such a great job coloring them. Little artists taking after their talented mommy!

Holly - I hope you got your package by now! There has been some problems with the PO we use. I mailed a pkg priority to my state swap buddy and took over a week to get there. I mailed yours priority too and should have been there by yesterday at the latest. THEN, a bill I mailed 3 weeks ago still has not arrived and then they turned off my cell phone for non-payment! May have to go and start using the other post office in another city! Looks like you had a fun vball tournament! - gigi
