Christmas Gifts...Notepads

Yesterday I decided it was time to get cracking at some Christmas gifts that I wanted to get done. So out came all the craftiness that I had in me and away I went.....I love making notepads to place on gifts and this year this is what I came up with. I also do classes at Stamping Bella so I will definetly be doing this as a project! I used my all time favourite kraft cardstock to create the cover for my notepads, and some My Minds Eye paper, and then used Stamping Bellas image called "Artsy House"...oh I love this country house for my notepads!
I hope you are enjoying some time in your craftroom! Have a fantastic weekend!
