The background image on this card is from CHF. It stamped it with Versamark and embossed with black Filigree EP. I then sponged on the following Versamagic Inks: Pink Grapefruit, Persimmon, Thatched Straw, Sea Breeze, Aloe Vera and Spanish Spanish Olive. The sentiment is Hero Arts.
I made these for some special teachers/staff at my son's school. The idea of the mini notebook comes from Mish. I combined the 2008 Holiday Tags set and the Vintage Labels set. Patterned paper is Holiday Vintage Prints and Text Style Pink Patterns. Since these might be popped in and out of purses I sewed the buttons on. I saw this first on Pine's blog. It seemed like extra work but for this project I really need them to stay put. I was very pleased to find out that my embroidery needle fit through the Vintage Button holes, and extra pleased that the Rustic Twine fit through the needle.

This was the most challenging one for me. I had an inspiration painting I found online and took Nichole's tip of adding white dots. When I got done I was cracking up because to me it has a bit of a Scandinavian feel! I think it's the W in the Wishing You sentiment that made me think of that. Oh well. It was a fun card to make.
Shimmer never shows much in photos but the gold frame is metallic. The rhinestones are Swarvosky hot fix and the stamp images are from Guidelines 1 and Simply Stationary.
The plaid background pp is Papertrey Ink Autumn Abundance. CS is Papertrey Ink Vintage Cream and Kraft. Frame is stamped with Andirondak Stream and leaves are stamped with Papertrey Ink Ripe Avacado. Jute twine is also Papertrey Ink. This is ATC size: my miniature flower frog (I have a large collection of these) makes it look larger:)
