Calendar and Address Book

So this is the first project I made with my October Counterfeit Kit and it's not a scrapbook page but an Address and Date binder for my youngest.  Since he's no longer at home (Yea!) he needs a way to keep track of birthday's and anniversary's and an address book instead of asking mom.

I cut down a piece of the DCWV Heirloom stack paper then backed it on a kraft cardstock for the front of the binder.  I rounded two of the corners to mimic the binder.

I used the Cosmo Cricket paper from my October Counterfeit Kit (the back side) for the front of the Dates Divider. I have a perpetual calendar in there for him to keep track of birthday's and anniversary's.

 
I stamped, colored, and cut out the cake.  Then added a few cheery colored paper but tried to keep it not girly looking.  I added a stamped and cut out banner to the top corner of my cluster.

For the address section I used the  Girls Paperie paper for the main page. I added the labels on the side of the dividers after both were made and put into the binder to get my placement. 

I again stamped, colored and cut out the image.  I layered everything up and added the last of the blue twine. I added a mini paper clip to the paper coming out of the typewriter a few of the square rhinestones a the bottom of the cluster.

One of the sheets in the Heirloom Stack is a page with words on it and I cut the "friends" strip out then added it to the paper with the number.

Last time he was home I had him raid my stash of cards and tags for him to take back with him.  He now has his own supply and his own list and address to send them out.  I also sent him a
