                                                             ii.      Push in the tabs, now make sure your pen will slide in and hook.

c.        Using Sticky Strip, attach the note pad to your base.   Be sure that the ribbon on the pad does not show over the top of the cover.

 Isn't this a great gift idea!!!!!  It was a big hit at class on Friday.  The card stock used is the retiring In-Colors, but remember you can make these with any color combination you would like.
