QCC EPISODE 4...AND REMEMBER NOTE PAD

Hello everyone...today I want to first mention that I have uploaded another QCC (QUICK CAFE CREATION) on my youtube channel..and it was a super quick project...here is the project:
and the video is at the bottom of this post...see the video for all the details...but I did use these two sets from the Cafe site on the CUPCAKE CARD...
hey cupcake frames
huge cupcake templateUp next is another quick project I made using the new LINE PAPER NOTE PAD SET...this was a really super fun project to make...that I will be keeping for myself..I used some fun old CRATE paper.....I decided to make a band to go around the project that can slip on and off as needed....I did my line paper in red...(the set comes with 5 different colors)..I made some kraft envelopes to match..2 small ones and 2 big ones ...fit nicely on the left hand side of the note pad folder...to keep the papers altogether on the right hand side...I first printed 10 pages...(they come 2 on a page)...then I cut out the 20 pages and stacked them on top of one another adding glue just at the top...after they were glued together..I just wrapped some matching card stock on the top and then added in the folder...EASY PEASY...and for $2.50 for the whole set, they would make awesome Christmas gifts.....on the cover, I did add a tag from the JOT IT DOWN SET...if you haven't see that set, you need to check it out...
