This month paper pumpkin was like a diamond in the raw. It needed a little polishing to shine. So I went to work with what was in the kit and then added some and here is my result. I think it turned out very cute.
My Memo Medley is mounted on a piece of heavy duty cardboard that I covered with Basic Black card stock. Then I stamped everything in Whisper White and lightly sponged over the surface of the black card stock to achieve the chalk board effect. I also added some mini cloth pins so I can clip notes to my memo center. At the right bottom I attached an envelope that I made to size with the envelope punch board. It can hold additional notes, coupons, etc. Most importantly I made sure I had a pencil holder and a matching pencil attached to the board so I don't have to search for one when I want to write a note. I like how it turned out and I had fun doodling on my chalkboard where imperfections only add to the chalkboard look that I wanted to achieve.

oh this is too, too cute! I've had this kit sitting on my shelf wondering what to do with it. My dad just was complaining he's always jotting down notes on scraps of paper by his computer then loosing them, so I thought I search for ideas on putting this kit together for him. Granted, this is a little too "foo-foo" for him since my mom died recently, but a variation on this will really work for my 87 year old father! Thanks for the ideas!!
