Mini Magazine Holders

My friend at the high school switched jobs this year from being a history teacher to the school librarian. She's been working hard getting the library all organized this year. Her birthday was last week so I made her a little gift...library themed. This is a little mini magazine holder. I got the template HERE from Becky Roberts' blog called Inking Idaho, such a fun idea!! I used my Just Rite *from the library of* border stamp and the Times New Roman alphabet for the initials of my friend. I used the small wooden stamper to hold my border and alphabet stamps. What perfect stamps for a librarian!! I decorated my box with Jenni Bowlin papers, vintage looking black ribbon and some Prima flowers. The size of the box is just perfect to hold a few small notecards. I used more papers from Jenni Bowlin, some black and white gingham ribbon, Spellbinder's scallop circle dies and the same monogram stamper and border for the notecards. My friendLOVED her little gift!
