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. I also made one "name-less" version, because she needed an extra one - just in case.
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
