From the desk of...

My SIL (who doesn't really read my blog...I know, shame on her!) has a birthday coming up in a few days and she's turning 30. She loves stamping but doesn't have the time to do it since she had a baby and works full time. I love making cards and things for her because she appreciates it and won't throw it away! I decided to make her a set of stationery cards and it gave me a chance to use my Simply Stationery set from Papertrey Ink. The notecards are 4.25 x 5.5 and I printed her name and from the desk of using the computer. Simply Stationery has a from the desk of stamp in the set but I didn't have an alphabet to stamp her name, so that's why I just used the computer for all of it. I used strips of patterned paper from the Black & White set from Papertrey Ink as well as New Leaf cardstock and ribbon. I also used a template I purchased from PTI for the stationery holder. I'm going to include envelopes but am still deciding what I want to do with those. Gosh, I hope she likes green!

Please check out my daughter's blog as we've posted another of her amazing drawings. If you feel inclined to leave her a comment it would really make her day. She's only 7 and comments tickle her more than they do me! I'm thinking it's almost time for some blog candy, so watch out for that.

Thanks so much!
