I needed a new cellphone, and asked my husband to get me a basic phone. He surprised me with a touchphone, and I was more excited about the fact that I'd be able to personalize it than I was about it's fancy features! Inspired by a YouTube video, I got a clear snap-together case, traced through the front of it onto the back side of my Paisley Petals DSP, and cut it out. Again using the case as a template to trace onto the back of the paper, I marked a circle for the camera hole and used a 1/2" circle punch on that. I added my initial on a piece of vellum, since I wanted to see the pattern, but didn't want the initial to get totally lost. Then, of course I inked the edges of everything with Marina Mist and Night of Navy. I love my purty new phone, and when I get bored with it, I have TONS of other choices in my stash of papers.I made a matching business card holder, too - not as happy with how that came out, since I don't have a tiny alphabet stamp, I just wrote my initial, and my laminating machine put a wrinkle on the DSP... still 100x prettier than what I found in the clearance bin at the office supply store, tho! I had to pry off a really ugly epoxy sticker that covered the whole front before I could adhere my paper...
