One of my friends (aka team members) had some 5 x 7 notepads at the retreat that she had cut in half.  I have seen these before, decorated up in a CUTE way, but have never taken the time to take them to be cut.  (You can go to an office store, like Office Depot, to have it done.  Of course, these days some papercrafters own one of their own.)

I took the Balloon Ride paper packet and used it, and the Dimensional Elements that coordinate, to decorate it up.  The "Live for Today" saying comes from the zip strip (border) on the B&T paper.  I used some Bronze Shimmer Trim - which really goes great with this paper packet - for some fun accents.

The clouds were cut from our Artiste Cricut cartridge and a few little pearls later... I was pleased with the result.

This is how it looks with the notepad inside.  I plan on giving these to some of my staff members for a little token of appreciation.  

Hop on over to Tonya's Blog and see what she has in store for you!

Happy hoppin'!
