Decorated Note Pad - Can You Case It #55

I can't say that I've noticed the site "Can You Case It" before, but now that I've found it I thought I would do the sketch challenge located here
But, rather than make a card, I thought I'd do something a little different with the sketch.
Every 2 weeks I set up a craft table at a local hospital and sell to hospital visitors, patients, and staff.  One of the items on my table is a decorated note pad.
The cover of today's note pad is decorated using the sketch with Can You Case It.

Sketch CYCI55 
 The main cover is Old Olive cardstock, lined with a DSP that is now retired.
In the middle there is a panel of Whisper White cardstock that is 7 by 4", matted with Old Olive cardstock 7 1/4 by 4 1/4".
Two stamp sets are used to create the scene - Sheltering Tree, and Kinda Eclectic.

Here is a list of the supplies used:

Decorated Note Pad with Butterfly Basics

I have a craft show next week, so I promised myself I would work on show-related stuff for the rest of the day.
One of my best sellers is the decorated note pad.  This one I chose to decorate with the Butterfly Basics stamp set which will be available Jan. 6, 2015

I have made other note pads that open from the middle, but I decided to make this one open like a book."
For a lot of my craft show items I used retired DSP and this is no exception.

I start with an 81/2 by 11 piece of cardstock and trim 1/4" off the bottom.  On the long side, I score at 5 1/2 and 5 3/4.  Then I decorate as desired.
