Thank You Post It Note Holder

Thank You Post It Note Holder, originally uploaded by maryg2004@yahoo.com.

I made this post it note holder using coasters that measure 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 and covered them with patterned paper and roughed up the edges using my sanding block. Then I punched holes up at the top using my bind it all and attached them using o-wires from bind it all. The image and sentiment are both from stampinn up and they were both stamped using old olive stamping up ink. I used stampin up's whisper white satin ribbon to tie bows on the o-wires at the top. These are going to be 1st day of school thank you gifts for the teachers that my children's school. i hope they get good teachers that really love teaching and children :) i hope you like this project :)
