A little ceramic bear from the antique mall is the accent in this arrangement. Salt and pepper shakers are great, inexpensive choices for adding a focal point.

Upcycling note paper . . .
For this piece, I created a card to give a friend access to a preferred parking area at the office. The note paper is from a resort we visited on a business trip stamped with designs that depict the love of travel accented by the rose and twig theme. The key has a special saying meaningful to my friend. I used stamps, ink, and accessories from the Tim Holtz collection to make this.
