I was asked to create Thank You gifts for volunteers at the coffee shop at our church by the manager of the coffee shop. I gave her several ideas and she really liked the teacher appreciation gifts I made a few years ago, so I made these little notepads & matching pens. Here is the link to my teacher gifts from 2007: Personalized Teacher Appreciation Gifts - all by ndelam at Splitcoaststampers . I had a small dilemma with the pen not fitting in the cardstock slot, so I used the ribbon to hold the pens. I definitely used the sticky strip so that the ribbon loops were secure. The template for the notepad covers is in my link above to my notepads made back in 2007. The mini notepad cover idea & template are from Rebuh. The above version with ribbons, daisies, and oval name-plate is all mine, though.
Thanks for looking & have a blessed day! ;o)

Difficulty (1-Easy 5-Advanced): 2 - time consuming, alignment of ribbon with pen may be tricky - be sure to leave enough of a loop so that the pen can be taken in & out
