Post It Note Cover & Pen holder

Hi Crafters,

So Happy your stopped in for a visit today......  My project today is also my blog project for The Stamping Shack Blog where I am a DT Member.  This cute post it note & pen holder ... Super easy and a really fun project to make. I am using the "Hippie Goth Girl" Digi Image from the Stamping Shack Store.  She can be found Here.  And I decided she is my favorite image thus far to use.

 Tip : The measurements will depend on what size your post it notes are...  Mine are:  3" X 3" ... I also applied  sticky strip to the back side of my  post it notes  to adhere to the inside of the holder.

    Decorate the top with your printed out and colored Digital Image and any other embellishments you'd like.  I added some text that I printed and matted to card stock before attaching to front with Sticky strip.

I am also entering this into the weekly Color Challenge over at Outlawz Group.
