Sweet Shimmer Pears

I'm on a bit of a kick...making cute Post-it note holders with coordinating cards!  This week's Color Challenge over at Create with Connie and Mary gave me a great idea for my next Post-it holder.
2012 Create Challenges-034
I loved the pears in these fabulous colors and could not wait to put them to work!
I started out with just the Lucky Limeade Ruffled Ribbon, but decided it was just too plain, so I layered the Rich Razzleberry Grosgrain on top of it...love the added pop of color!

Supplies Used:
Paper ~ Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Summer Smooches DSP
Ink ~ Tangerine Tango, Lucky Limeade, Rich Razzleberry, Early Espresso
Stamp Set ~ Perfectly Preserved
Other Supplies ~ Cannery Set Framelits, Bitty Banners Framelits, Linen Thread, Naturals Designer Buttons, Lucky Limeade Ruffled Ribbon, Rich Razzleberry Grosgrain Stitched Ribbon, Gel Pen & Post-it Note (non Stampin' Up!)

And the card to go with this was CASEd from my Demo Page.  There are some great ideas there, so don't forget to check it out!  I added some of the Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz to the pears on the card...love the lite shimmer it gives.  I need to add it to the pears on the Post-it holder too!

Supplies Use
Paper ~ Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Summer Smooches DSP
Ink ~ Tangerine Tango, Lucky Limeade, Rich Razzleberry, Early Espresso
Stamp Set ~ Perfectly Preserved

Cute little gift set for that someone special :)
Off to get my kiddos up and ready for school.  Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

TGIF and Happy Stamping!
