The Memo Block is such a handy little item to have sitting on your desk or beside the phone.   Renee and I have decorated ours using different paper collections and came up with completely different looks for both.

I used Gypsy Sisters and I love the quote “Live, Love & Laugh” from the Die Cut Elements, so I chose to feature it on mine.  I have inked all the edges using “Lipstick” inkpad, covered it with patterned paper and added a few hot pink rhinestones to finish it off.

Check out Renee’s using the Devonshire Collection.  She has raised hers using mini wooden cotton reels she found at a $2 shop – how cool and creative is that?

Here’s Creative Team member, Sandra’s take on Katharyn’s sketch usign a combination of Flutterby Mega Kit and Camp Stoneybrook:

“The background paper is from the Camp Stoneybrook kit. The striped element is a combination of a Camp Stoneybrook paper with parts of a tag and a ribbon from Flutterby. (I cut out a small part of a red tag, the plain part with no pattern, and resized it to a long stripe.) I did the same with a plain pink element to create a piece of paper to clip to the flourish. The title is created with the Distress Alphas kit”.

As you can see I used only a few elements from each kit but the combination is very succesful!”
