I found this great Stationary Set today over at http://www.fiskarscrafts.com/
I just love the idea of this and wanted you all the see it too.....you could use any Stamps for this project....and I'm sure there are times when we all need that little note for someone.....be it a child's teacher,friend,etc. I also like this idea because it personalizes the note.......love that!

I
don’t write letters often, but when I do it’s nice to give them a
personal touch. I like to keep a little pile of stamped stationary on
hand for that quick note to the teacher or for casual correspondence.
For this project, I’ve stamped plain paper with Heidi Grace Designs’
NEW Reagan’s Closet Icons Clear Stamps – which I must say are super
cute! To add a touch of color I used watercolor pencils. To store my
personalized stationary, I stamped and stitched a pocket holder to keep
it neatly tucked away.

Instructions
(Print version)
1. For the pocket, score a 12 x 12 sheet of cardstock or solid paper at the 6” mark of one side and fold in half.
2. Unfold and cut (at the fold) 6” to the center.
3. Refold the cardstock to 6” x 12”, then fold down the front and trim off 3” of the flap.
4. Trim 2” from top of the back of the pocket – making it 10” high.
5. Unfold
cardstock. Using Compact Stamp Press and light brown ink, stamp
paisley design over area that is showing of the stationary holder.
6. Refold and machine stitch pocket on 3 sides.
7. Use Threading Water Punch on patterned paper; trim to fit width of holder and adhere to folded over flap.
8. Apply stickers and rub-ons to further embellish.
9. For the stamped stationary, cut 4 – 5 sheets of copy paper (or stationary) in half, making 8 – 10 small sheets.
10. Stamp a design or group of designs at top and/or bottom corners.
11. Color
designs with watercolor pencils, then go over colored areas (from light
to dark) with a slightly damp paintbrush. This will blend the
watercolor pencil. Let dry before placing in holder.
