Calculating....Stampin' Up! style!!

I am itching for some new Designer Series Paper in the new catalog coming in August, but loving the new Bella Rose paper they showed us demo's early. :) I didn't totally love it when I saw it at first, but a big fan now! SO MUCH FUN! Anyway: back to task at hand...I actually went to Staples today (and ran into my cousin/upline that is in town for family and convention!!!!! Hi Jill!!!!!!!) and saw these amazing calculators when I was checking out. I thought I had seen someone alter these with Stampin' Up's paper online somewhere before, so I had to buy some. :) I can't remember exactly whose I saw first...but when I searched today I found these done by Nancy. So cute! And I wasn't sure if Stampin' Up's punches would fit this exactly, but turns out THEY DO! I used the 1 3/8" punch for the circle keypad, and then the 1/4" punch for the little circle keys. Then the small oval punch for the display. ***Note: the small oval wasn't quite exact. So I just lined it up once and punched, and then moved a little and lined it up to punch the rest out. Easy peasy. I am thinking I better run back and get more. So no one go to the Layton Staples here in Utah and steal them from me, ok?! :) Oh...they are $0.99 each, by the way. TOO MUCH FUN! Here they are with some of the Bella Rose paper:
***Side note: does the name BELLA Rose paper remind anyone else of anything?!? Maybe something that is being released August 2nd?! Yes...yes...I can't get Stampin' Up's convention out of my mind, but I also can't get THAT out of my mind either!!! :)
