My first project is serving two purposes – the Stampin’B’s challenge for this week and also Day 3 of the Blog Hop.
I was the hostess for this week’s Stampin’B’s challenge – a color challenge (pink, blue, and green). I made this little Post-It note holder using the tutorial on SCS. The papers from Basic Grey’s Euphoria paper pad use the three colors in the challenge. The cute little porcupine from Stinky Situation is stamped in Palette Noir Black and clear embossed. Did you get the connection? Sticky notes . . . porcupine quills. Sorry about that! My late husband always said I had a weird sense of humor!
I love the birch tree image from this set. After stamping the larger of the two skunks in Palette Noir Black (clear embossed), I masked it and stamped the birch trees in Memento Rich Cocoa. One of the leaves from a 4-die Cuttlebug die set looks very much like a birch leaf. It is glued down on just half, with the other half raised up. The brown background (MFP Hazelnut) was embossed using one of the Tim Holtz embossing folders, then stamped with Versamark all over and clear embossed. IRL it almost makes it look like leather.
I have neither porcupine nor skunk salt and pepper shakers, but I thought these armadillos would work with today’s critters.
Don’t forget -- For another chance to win a free stamp set, be sure to visit the blogs of the rest of today’s design team and comment on each.

Another cute little gift idea, Lois. I love this little note pad and pencil. Takes on a whole new meaning to the "stuck" on you sentiment.
Sticky notes!! Very cute idea. Love both smples, Lois.
How many s & P shakers do you think you have? They are so pretty and unique. I wanted to start collecting them but my husband had something to say about that. Mainly he is NOT getting a bigger house with all of the stuff I collect already :)
cute cute!!
What a good idea for the post it notes!
Cute as can be, Lois - love your 'stick' post its.
how cute....great idea....
The leaf is a nice touch to a great card!
You do know that I had to look at the salt and pepper shakers before I looked at your project, right? haha.
Great gimmick!
Sticky notes! Ha Ha! Love these projects!
Super cute!!! Love the S&P shackers, too! GREAT and EXTREMELY creative Post It holder!!! YOU ROCK!!
Such a great idea and I love the correlation between the post it notes and the porcupine. That's my sense of humor too! hee hee hee
What a great card. Nice image.
So clever to use the stuck on you with the post it note holder! Love your salt and pepper shakers too!
Lois- I enjoyed seeing both of your creations!
Those armadillos cracked me up!!

I LOVE the post it notes holder! Perfect way to use this stamp set and it looks delightful in those unsxpected colors Lois!! Fun shakers too!! Where do you keep them all?
Love that birch stamp especially!
Sweet projects! Love that birch stamp and the sticky notes holder. :)
Oh, my gosh, Lois!! Great minds really *do* think alike LOL. How funny that we both went with "sticky notes" for the porcupine in today's set!! At least we both used different stuck/sticky sentiments with it :). I was *tempted* to go with your Stampin' B's color challenge colors for my sticky notes holder, but finally decided to go with more masculine colors for mine. So glad I did! Anyway, I love your notes holder with the pencil attached, and your adorable skunk card. Super job showcasing this set today!
Lois, I think both of your cards are gorgeous. I especially love the sponged bg on the first.
I totally get your sense of humor! Great card and note holder!
