InStyles Blog Hop

It's monthly blog hop time with the InStyle Stamps team. Every month our blog hops have a theme and this month it is end of Summer. There is a prize for commenting and voting ... a $25 goodie bag from ISS. Check out the InStyle Stamps blog for more details, and a full list of the blog hoppers.

If you are following hop you should have arrived from Taylor,if you haven't then you can start the blog hop from the InStyles blog.

For this hop I have made a stationary box as a gift for my Gran. You may have seen the box I made Ellie ... well it uses the same design. You can find instructions here. I chose colours to give that end of summer, slightly faded feel, and an image that hints at the end of summer flowers ... sunflowers.
I made the box up in coral cardstock and then added the dp. I used Summer Breeze on the front and added ric rac, swirls and Prima flowers.
For the inside of the box I made some little square notelets and some c5 size notelets. Oh and some small note paper. The empty holder is a for a book of stamps ... need to get them!!

So here are the notelets. The small ones use Summer Breeze and the c5 ones Flower Love and Buzz. The bees and dragonflies are stickled.

And a closer look...
Hope you liked my project, and now you need to hop over to Kerry's blog to see her amazing creation.
