Beate's Weekend Challenge

Beate's Weekend Challenge is back! I'm so glad because she is incredibly talented. This was a really cute sketch. I'm a little bummed because my order of new stamps has not arrived so I'm using the Bella Rose DS (again!) that I got with the catalog sneak preview.

I realized after I had everything done that I forgot one part of the sketch (the white rectangle). Oh well, I'll get it right next time!

Note Pads

My office had a staff retreat at Cameron Park Zoo today (insert joke here). I made these note pads for everyone to take notes (or doodle)!
