This week we are challenging you to
Be Square
You could choose to make a square card or box or use a square element on your creation! Whatever you decide to make we will be looking forward to seeing your project!
Please pop over to see what the DT and our lovely guest Autumn made too!
As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store
I made a square Post-It Note holder using a Tim Holtz Mini Crazy Cat and a Memory Box Grand Stick Frame Die
I actually made this for my craft room, I use a lot of post it notes for jotting down little reminders to myself and I also use them for masking. However, when my daughter saw it she thought it would be a lovely birthday gift for her flatmate so I will be sending it off to Scotland along with this coordinating card. I will have to make me another one ;-)
I used a Prima Paintables Salvage District Paper Pack for the background, I love that these resist the paints, and then coloured with Distress Crayons Set 1 , blending with my fingers and getting all messy ;-) I then distressed the edges and inked with Gathered Twigs Ink.
I love the Memory Box Grand Stick Frame Die layered a coupler of the die cuts to create a frame for the inked and textured panels. I will link all the products I used at the bottom of this post.
Thanks for looking!

I LOVE your little notebook cover, Lols. One of my favorite things to make is notebook covers and this one is perfect with that crazy cat and adorable little letter. I'm putting that frame die on my wishlist too! Love it!!

Both the cover and the card are gorgeous, Lols. Love the beautiful embellishments and bright colors! The cat images are super cute. :)
Awesome!!!
Thanks for breaking out your stencils to join the sisterhood of snarky stampers!!
Oh my goodness! You have addressed both my crafty addiction and my Post-it Note addiction! What an absolutely genius gift idea and that is so noble of you to give the Post-it note holder away! I think I would've hoarded that little gem for myself! I also thought it was genius how you used the double stick frames for each square.
These are wonderful!!!!
What a cute set! LOve the colors, so sunny and remind me the spring is each day closer! Lovely cats! Hugs, Marzena
You know I love this double project! Fabulous card and fabulous notebook,love them! Square die and crazy cats are perfect!Love the colors! BArbara
wow Lols...loving your 2 for the price of one project and as a notebook addict this is floating my boat...love that crazy cat delivering his special love letter...hugs kath xxx
Oh Lorraine, I would so love to keep that little post it note book in my bag to write down everything that pops in my mind and needs to be remembered!!!
So awesome!!!!
What a fantastic project and I love how you've created a matching card...this is just wonderful, Lols and as a stationery addict and lover of all books, it really does appeal to me! xx
This set is stunning Lols! I love the gorgeous colours and all the texture. The little book is so cute!
This is awesome, your book and the card, love it! Thanks for joining us at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!
