Nick and Warren and the December Orange Art Box

Nick and Warren and the December Orange Art Box

It’s always fun crafting with these two monkeys. Always a lot of silliness and smiles.

When we finally got a chance to work on the December Box, I had picked them up right after

they got off the school bus. They were especially wound up.

I had to threaten Warren that he couldn’t be in the video if he wouldn’t stop

talking about naked bellies and of course showing me.

Then once we got going he gave me a sweet little song included at the end of the video.

Another Bonus…

I get to give away a Orange Art Box to one lucky kid. (details at the bottom of this post)

Please enjoy our cheesy little video.

The December Orange Art Box was all about “Artic Friends”.

The December Orange Art Box included modeling clay, markers, card kits, postcards, bookmarks, glue, yarn to make tassels, and an instruction book that show the kids how to draw and make the animals.

All silliness aside the boys had a great time creating.

If you have a creative kid in your life and are looking for a unique and special gift

this Holiday, you may want to look into the Orange Art Box a subscription Art Box for kids.

How to make a DIY Memo Pad Holder

May 24, 2018February 9, 202316 Comments

How to Make a DIY Memo Pad Holder…

I’m a list maker.

I make lists for things to do, groceries to buy, photos to edit, ideas, gardening…

I’m actually using the “Choose Joy” Memo Pad Holder as I sit and write this post.

The Choose Joy Memo Pad Holder with its sweet florals reminds me of everything summer.

And speaking of summer…it’s going to be a busy one. (which means more lists)

DIY Memo Pad Holder Supplies Used: (*affiliate link)

- Xyron Mega Runner*
- Xyron 1.5 inch Sticker Maker*
- Xyron 3″ Sticker Maker*
- XYRON Adhesive Eraser*
- Scrapbook Paper from Jen Hadfield Simple Life Collection*
- Pink Dots Scrapbook Paper from Adornit*
- Shimelle 346611 Thickers Stickers, Navy*
- Black Iris Cardstock
- Prima Marketing Rose Quartz Flowers*
- 18″ Ivory Dot Ribbon
- Scoring Board 12×12*

How to make a DIY Memo Pad Holder…

Cut cardstock to measure 8 ¼” x 10 ½”.
Score the cardstock at 5 1/8″ and 5 3/8″

Cut a 5″ x 2 ½” piece of decorative scrapbook paper to go around the top of the memo pad.
Place the paper, design side up, into the end of the Xyron 3″ Sticker Maker* and pull the paper through. Rub the protective covering and peel back to expose sticker.
I use the XYRON Adhesive Eraser* to remove any extra adhesive from the edges.

Align paper on the top of the memo pad band and wrap around to the back of the pad.

Did you know that you can use the Xyron Sticker Maker with ribbon?

Run ribbon though the Xyron 1.5-inch Sticker Maker*.
Center and adhere onto the middle of the scrapbook paper border. Wrap extra ribbon around back of the memo pad.

Use the Xyron Mega Runner* to adhere the notepad onto the inside cover.
On the other side of the inside cover, create a pocket using coordinating paper and embellishments.
Add adhesive to three sides of the pocket and adhere inside cover. Perfect place for receipts and additional lists.

Embellish front cover with an inspirational quote, ribbon and flowers.

(a cute picture of the kids would be nice too)
