Dear Santa

Hi everyone! I wanted to share a quick project I made for my kiddos... little magnetic notepads for them to keep track of their Christmas wishes.
DearSanta
       
I came across this tutorial a while ago, and pinned it knowing I would use it eventually! I adjusted mine a bit, leaving off the cover, and instead decorating the top of the notepad (which is just one of those Jr. Legal Pads cut in half length-wise). I used the Santa image from the new Meoples No Peeking set from All That Scraps. He's colored with Copics and cut out, leaving out his gift sack. Then I popped him up with foam adhesive on a die cut oval, inked with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. The patterned papers are all from the My Mind's Eye "Be Merry" 6x6 pad. I stamped the sentiment from the AmyR Funny Christmas set at the top of the pad to finish it off.
    
Here is a closer look at one of the pads...

My kids were very impatient that I had to take a picture before they could use their new Christmas notepads! So... I think they like them! :)
  
Thanks so much for stopping by! I would love to know what you think!
