I think I amazed myself that I got the box in the mail at noon, opened it and within an hour figured out a cute use for the old spool and finished the project. It was pretty fast. It is much cuter in real life then in the pictures..you don't get a proper sense of scale from pictures.
I used a Maya Road butterfly page from the Chipboard Butterfly album and traced it onto this cute Cosmo Cricket Girl Friday paper...It almost killed me to cut into this paper but I had to do it at some point.....used another piece of the Girl Friday paper on the bottom and a title from the Girl Friday Elements quote paper.
The bottom of the project is made using an empty ribbon spool (Told you Michelle, I would do something cute with it) that Michelle gave me at Paper Tales....I bought the rest of the bakers twine that was on it..and she gave me the spool. After seeing Danielle Flanders cute CHA project using ribbon spools...I was hooked!
Anyway, I used Fabri-Tac of course....sticks stuff like crazy. Love, love, love that stuff (and when I write 3 loves, it means I seriously love it). It's liquid gold in a bottle! And NO, I don't work for them or even know them...just love that dang glue!
I am also addicted to curling ribbons now that I know how....thanks to fellow Maya Road DT member, Andrea Wiebe.....look HERE to learn how.
Anyway, enjoy....although I'm still enjoying our mild winter here in San Diego, I know that some of you are counting the days until Spring. So, here's a glimpse of it!
Have a Great Weekend!

Super cute & creative! Love what you did with the spool!
Katie...you are the queen of good ideas, & this is just another one to add to your list :o) I thought I'd pop over to your blog & say hi!!
I see you live in San Diego, it only my second fave city in the world other than Cape Town (where I live at the moment) I used to travel there often when I had my design studio.
Anyway..I hope you have a super Sunday. See you in cyber space.

You DID do something cute with the spool...and to think it was going in the garbage! You rock!

ugh man! well, im typically in every tuesday to feed my habit. And by coming in every tuesday, sitting on my hiney, Michelle decided to put my hiney to work. So yesterday I trained a little with Julie. I'll be in this tuesday just because... and... there could be crop nights soon... yay!
