I had so many ideas I was thinking about to share with you for the February Project Pea Blog Hop. I knew I wanted to use the SugarPea's
Tin Can Chat stamp set so I decided to create an easel Post-it holder with a matching beaded pen. Do you remember when beaded pens were all the rage in the stamping community? I still have supplies for them, so I pulled out some mini pens, the micro-beads and adhesive sheets. I am planning to give this to my second grade granddaughter, so the pen was a no-brainer!
You'll need to start with a heavy weight card stock for the easel and the notepad holder. I used Gina K's 120 lb. and it was super-sturdy.
Step 1:
To make the easel, cut your card stock 10.5" x 4.5" and then score at 5", 5.5" & 8.

Step 2:
To make the notepad holder, cut your card stock 4 1/8" x 4 1/8".
Score each side at 1/2". Cut on one of the score lines for each corner to create a folded tab for when you construct the box.
Step 3:
Add your patterned papers to the easel base and 3 of the box sides. I cut 1 pieces of green card stock 4 7/8" x 4 3/8" the patterned paper is 4 3/4" x 4 1/4". For the box sides, I cur three pieces of green card stock 3" x 3/8" and 3 pieces of pattered paper slightly smaller - about 2 7/8" x 1/4".
Pen Supplies:
Scrapbook Adhesives Adhesive Sheets
Clear Microbeads
Staples Mini Gel Pens
To make the pen:
Measure the barrel section to be covered. For my mini pen (from Staples), I used a piece of patterned paper 2" x 1 1/4". The paper was adhered to the pen with ScoreTape, and then I rolled a 2" x 1 1/2" section of double-sided adhesive sheet over the paper on the barrel.
After pulling off outside layer of protective paper, it's time to roll the pen in the micro-beads. My micro beads are stored in an old SU clamshell box.
This is my final post as a member of Sugar Pea Designs ProjectPea Team. I have enjoyed my time as a part of the Sugar Pea team. I've made new friends, grown in my skills, and been challenged in new ways. I feel so blessed to have had this opportunity, for Wendy Ramlakhan's generosity, and her faith in me. It has been a pleasure to a part of the talent group of women I hope to be back occasionally for special events. Please keep in touch!

Love the angles on Jeanne's sketch for this week's CC&S sketch. I opted for minimal stamping and used some of my hoarded SU DSP for the main panel on this card with a word die from Sugar Pea Designs.
The fifth Tuesday of the month means a double challenge on the CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge Blog! This one had me stumped - first the sketch and then once I came up with a plan for that, I had to figure how how to use the colors for another Valentine card! This one is for my grandson.
Beverly has a sketch for this week's CAS Colours and Sketch Challenge. I thought I would get a jump on making Valentine cards for my grandchildren with this sketch - after all, Valentine's Day is only a couple of weeks away!
SugarPea Designs' February theme challenge is to create a Shaker Card. Who doesn't love a shaker card?!?
Happy Monday, Sugar Pea fans! We are back today with Sugar Sketch #20. I've inked up On Target for my Sugar Sketch Challenge card. I thought I'd try some white embossing powder on kraft paper for this one. I think it turned out pretty well!
