January CTMH gathering project

Since I am out of work for the time being I'm actually ahead of schedule preparing the project for my January Close to my Heart gathering. For January I am going to show how to make "easel cards". They mail & look like a card but the top folds up for display. Here is a sample easel card I made.













Here is a side view.













I wanted to kick it up a notch so I made it into a desk display. I added a Flip Flap on top so that a photo can be added, and changed as desired. On the bottom I added post-it notes and a calendar. I hope my group will enjoy this project.











Here is a sample with a picture. As it's Cory's 3rd Birthday today I put in an adorable picture of him (of course he only takes adorable pictures).












While I was at it I covered my store bought address book that needed decorating.














And with all of the scraps I put the puzzle pieces together to start a 2 page layout.








Let me know what you think.
