I made this cute little "purse buddy" because I was tired of hunting through my van to find a piece of paper I could jot a few things on.  RBD’s new set LISTED has MANY uses and I can’t wait to show you more ideas so keep watching…..

Here is the picture of the outside…..I didn’t put  embellishments on the cover as this is meant to go in my purse and I knew they would not last long .  I covered some chipboard coasters with SU DSP and used Kiwi Kiss and Basic Grey cardstock to make a divider and cover the inside covers.  I inked up Darling Damask (another favourite) and used matching inks to make a pattern on the divider and inside covers.

Sorry the picture isn’t really clear…..need to work on my lighting skills .  but you get the idea.

Here are some inside shots………………half of the book is Grocery Lists and the other half is "To Do" Lists so I can make sure to list places I need to go….or sales I don’t want to miss.  LOL

 This is a close up shot….but you still can’t really see that I perforated the white pieces just before the binding so they would make a nice clean tear-out and used one of the "do dads" from the Listed set to decorate where the coil is.  I did use the Zutter Bind-it-All if you are wondering.

Super Cute eh!!!  I am going to get my hubby to make a little hole in the end of a golf pencil so I can ribbon it to the coils and it can be stored inside the coils………..no need to be diggin’ for something to write with either!!!

Thanks RBD!!!  I will be using this OFTEN!

Don’t miss my matching "coupon buddy" coming soon!

3 years ago when I signed up to be a demonstrator and held my very first Stamp Camp, I asked….errr….begged a 1/2 dozen of my very close friends to come and fill a few empty spots so I could have more than the 3 people I didn’t really know in attendance.  In the end, I had a total of 12 ladies and about 10 of them remain my customers to this day.  One of my most regular customers, Janet never ceases to amaze me with her cards, scrap pages and project ideas. 

Janet decided that she wanted to give her daughter’s preschool teachers a Chapters gift card at the end of the year and wanted something cute to put them in….so she borrowed part of her creation from the Halloween Top-Note treat box that I made and incorporated some coasters and came up with this:

 Here is the open view

Her Instructions are as follows………..
