4 of a Kind-January

Time flies.  It's my turn again to play hostess for our 4 of a Kind club which consists of four friends who love to stamp and make cards. We take turns hosting the club and sending the other members a kit of identical ingredients that are used to make a card which is revealed on our blogs a few weeks later.  Every single month the kits have been so creative and I had a really hard time trying to come up with a kit that was anything close to as good as my three friends, Renee, Joyce and Kim have sent me.  I wanted to do something a little different this month, so this is the kit I sent to everyone.

I included some beautiful patterned papers by Authentique from the "Uncommon" collection.  I also made a couple of notepad templates and included notepads and stamped images from Papertrey Inks Take Note stamp set.  There was some ribbon, buttons, felt flower diecuts, paper clips and a Tim Holtz rosette.

Here is what I made with my kit:

First up, a mini notepad, just the right size to pop in my purse.  It has a little mini pen attached and a 3 x 3 Sticky Notepad on the inside.  

Next up, a matching card.

I cheated a bit and made myself another Tim Holtz Rosette to use as the focal point.  This time I used a sentiment from Papertrey Ink Flutterby Friend and a melon berry felt rolled flower as a pop of color.  The card edges are cut with a Spellbinder Edgeability die with an interesting tulip shaped edge. 

Here are the two projects together:

Now that you have seen my projects, please go take a look at what my three friends have done with their kits.
