Book Corner

I found this tutorial at Splitcoaststampers and thought I would give it a try. I'm always folding the corner of the pages in my book when I read at night and I thought this was a cute idea.  This little bookmark hooks right to the corner of your page.  Pretty neat!  It was kind of tricky at first making sure the corners were going to line up.  I think in the end I liked how it turned out.  I used Close to my Heart Stamps and also the paper comes from Close to my Heart.  I distressed around the edges to break up the white.  I colored the little animal with copic markers.  This was my first go around with this and plan to make more.

Howdy Neighbor!

These stamps from Close to my Heart and just so fun to play with!  I really love this stamp set.  There are so many different choices with different animals and sayings!  I used copic markers to color the barn and the cow.  I used Close to my Heart Chocolate ink to stamp the barn, saying and the cow.

Princess Card

This is my first card making with my new Close to my Heart stamps.  I was so excited! I am entering this card in the Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge.  I used American Crafts paper and of course to color the little girl I used Copic markers!  I wanted to put little crowns on the side of the card, but couldn't find the right size crown, so I used pearls instead.  I'm very happy with the way this card turned out!

Peyton's Scrapbook

I decided to enter some pages on to Emma's Thursday Challenge.  Taking pictures of a 12 x 12 scrapbook page can be pretty tricky.  I used my Cricut a lot while working on his scrapbook page, because all the different cartridges had a lot of cute images. Hope you enjoy!

Sending you Sunshine and Hugs

With this card I decided to do a little different than your standard card.  I started out with a sheet of card stock that was 12 inches long and cut it so it was 12 x 6.  Then I measured about 2.5 inches in on each side of the card to make the flaps.  I stamped the saying using Memento Rich Cocoa and I used Memento Black for the girl inside the card.  I used Copic markers to color the girl. The stamp came from Sarah Kay. I couldn't decided if I wanted a flower on the outside of the card or if it was to much.  Hope you enjoy!  Happy Crafting!

Thursday Challenge

This week I decided to do the Krafty Thursday Challenge. The requirements were to use Kraft paper.  The card I made, I used Kraft paper for the base and to mount my picture to.  I used Copic Markers to color the little boy.  The stamp set came from Penny Black.  I thought this was the cutest little stamp.  When I got done with the card, it looked like it needed something a little more.  I decided to spray it with Iridescent Gold glimmer mist just to ask a little sparkle to it.  Hope you enjoy it!

Thank You For Everything!

Wow!  It's been awhile since I've posted.  It's been really busy with work and the end of the year.  I made this card for a very special lady that helps out in my classroom a lot.  I used a Penny Black stamp and I colored it in with copic markers.  I also used distress ink around the end.









Enjoy!
