Notes for an Engineer

My niece Christie, is a Structural Engineer and she recently passed the exam that she had to take after working as an engineer for at least a year. She studied like the dickens for over a month in preparation for it - and passed it with flying colors! (she's such a wizz!). So at a recent family gathering she pulled out her official stamp to show us all and I immediately thought - I can stamp that and make some fun notes for her!!

So this is the little set I made for her. The papers are all Papertrey Ink. The box is one of Lauren Meaders Templates called Desktop Organizer. I used Smokey Shadow cardstock for the box and Black and White Basics designer papers for the strips on the notes as well as to decorate the box.

I stamped her seal, cut it out with a circle Nestability and then adhered a strip of designer paper to the 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" note and then the seal over the DP. I was able to fit 10 notes and 1o envelopes in the box. (the notes are not folded - they are just a single layer note)

She was thrilled with this personalized gift - and we are all so proud of her accomplishments!

Thanks for stopping by today - I hope you enjoyed this project!

I'm off to Stamping Around in VT this weekend but I have some projects all lined up to post. I'll be on line - and hopefully sharing some pics from the workshop soon!!
