MMCS42, Haute Couture

Today I have something different for you to view, at least something different for me.  I want to show you my 5 x 7 tablet.   I know it looks like a card on the outside but I assure you that it has pages, about 25 pages without my actually counting them.  I don't normally do a 5 x 7 size but this stamp,  I thought works well on this size and I had a tablet as a template and used that to make the cover.   
 
Notice a lot of distressing on both the tablet and the envelope, thankfully it was the ink and not myself.   Since this is a tablet with some depth to it, I needed an envelope to be able to hold it securely and be deep enough so what's a girl to do, I am going to send you over to Priscillstyles Envelope Templates Priscilla offers several different styles of templates for thicker cards or altered items.  Page down in this link and you will see her different product offerings.
 

The tablet fitting into the envelope, this is easy to use but needs a larger piece of cardstock.


The tablet and the envelope, you can see the flap this way.

See, pages, LOL, some are stamped with other images of the stamp set.  Now I want to tell you about our sponsors this week/month.  The  Midnight Madness Monthly Sponsor is Cornish Heritage Farms which so generously provided me with this stamp set for my tablet.  This one is called ATC Haute Couture and has many different stamps included.  You will surely want to win this month, you are offering up many rubber stamps for the monthly give-away.  Also I want to add how nice the products are to use and how crisp the images are - what a pleasure it has been for me.   Our weekly Sponsor is deliciousdoodles digital stamps, she is offering some paper, images, card charms and other embellishments, sure to be a hit! 

I have entered this in the following challenges:
A Spoonful of Sugar Distress inks, pearls 
Paper Sundaes Distressed card or Project
Practical Scrappers  Use any stamp
