Squirrel Notes (SHCG "Running Out Of Time" Challenge)

Here is my response to Margaret/scrappinmomto2girls' "Running Out Of Time" challenge for Scrap Happenzz Critique Group to do a LO about time organization/getting things done.

Journaling: "Yes I have an Iphone to keep track of my personal appointments. Yes I use Outlook at the Office to keep track of what to do there. But around my home & in my bag, lurk the rawest form of my time management, Squirrel Notes. Reminders for myself written on assorted stickie notes. Greg starting calling them Squirrel Notes at some point, because sometimes I write them very tiny & partially in code; the name stuck. Whether it's stuff to do, stuff I'd like to buy, stuff Re: something I'm crafting, stuff to remember, combinations of info, Squirrel Notes are vital to my getting things done!"

For the background, I used a Colorbox stylus tool w/ moldable foam ends. I heated up the ends & impressed them w/ designs from 2 different stamps. PLEASE NOTE: the band of stamps diagonally across the middle (& under the title) is actually a lime green that contrasts the sticky notes more IRL (this scan makes them look more yellow, though I did put a couple of actually yellow rows above the light green).

I used real "squirrel notes" for this, some of them not all the way adhered down so I got that post-in note look. The silver star sequins are shinier IRL (scan makes them look dark) as are the Stickle dots on the title. I had been missing my trusty old Quickutz Squeeze after months of Expression-love so I dug out a couple QK alphas for this. The black corner borders are cut ribbon. I punched text paper w/ a jigsaw puzzle punch that was at the retreat house I stayed at, I loved that punch, gotta get me one! I "pinned" some of the notes w/ brads.

Thanks for the challenge, Margaret, I had a lot of fun scrapping this!

TFL :)
