A little box of happy!

 Happy Monday, friends!

The 3rd Monday of the month is such a treat for me as I hold my Elmira Community Living craft class. Our projects are a mix of: cards, banners, wall decor, annual calendar and more! The men and women in the class are participants of the Avenues Program in Elmira, Ontario. We used to meet in person but now do our classes over Zoom. I know it's not long now before we'll be gathering together again and I'm so excited!

Today's project was a box of "happy": decorated clothespins, bookmark/tag, post-it note holder all nestled into a Mini Paper Pumpkin decorated box.

To ensure everyone can make the project, the only adhesives used are Stampin' Dimensionals and the odd glue dot. The greeting is a retired one. The Designer Series paper is the fabulous Pattern Party pack of 40 sheets 12" x 12". All black and white patterns on one side and bold beautiful patterns on the other. If you're placing a $200 order or holding a catalogue party, get this as your Stampin' Reward!
