Memorial Day BBQ invite

Here is a Memorial Day BBQ invitation that I made as a postcard. The flag stamp is from Flag Quilt- May 2008 vintage stamp set. The flower stamp is from Friends Forever stamp set- April 2009 special. I used my Emboss Pad to ink up stamps and I used Tsukineko Embossing powder- black to make it pop. Tombow Markers Earth and the blending pen where used to color in the stamps and to make the shelf that the flower vase is setting on.

Forgotten post

Back in March of this year over at Paper Wings there were a couple of challeges that were given. I went ahead and challeged myself to do two of them. The card to the left is the first challenge I did. It was a Friday alternate sketch challenge. Instead of using a real ribbon with a bow I made mine with paper. The stamp set I used for this project was Random patterns and the hello hello stamp is from the level A hostess stamp set feel better. The paper is Cardstock Stack neutrals and Premium White Cardstock. The ink I used was Bordeaux from Cezanne Spots.

The next project was to make a friendship box. So that is what I did. The paper I used to cover









the chipboard was from a collection of paper that I got with my kit last year that is no longer available. The red paper is Scarlet Cardstock that I inked the edges with Burnt Umber Palette Pad. The stamp set I used was Random Patterns once again. I really had a lot of fun with this project. I wasn't going to do it because I thought it was going to be too much to do but it really was easy to do.

My gift to my mom

Here is a paperbag album that I made for a Mother's Day gift for my mom. I used white paper lunch bags but this could easily be done with brown or even with bigger paper bags.
To hold the album together I used a no snag hair elastic (this means it hasn't got a metal piece that binds it together.) The stamp set I used was Creative Inspiration
and my ink I used was once again my Impress Markers Bright. I love how cheery these colors make me feel. On some of the pages where I scribbled with my pink and green Impress markers I used a blending pen from my set of Tombow Markers Earth. I so enjoy making my own papers. The tabs are from the Creative Inspiration stamp set as well. If you would like any of the products that I have listed please visit my site link to the right or you can contact me. Have a wondeful day and please stop by again soon to see what else I have been working on.

May free download

Another fun free download to use. This sheet of tags coordinates with the Angelee SWIC and with the Natalee Accordian Album kit. The tags can be punched out with Mega Circle 2 1/2" punch, Giga Rectangle 1 1/2 x 2 9/16, Giga Square 2 1/8, and the Giga Shipping tag 2 3/4 or you can cut them out with a pair of scissors. I made the cards belowing using three of the tags from the free dowload. Just think of the items you can make or use with the tags...tags for gifts, cards, scrapbook pages, ATC, on envelopes this list could go on and on. Lets see what you come up with. Have fun and enjoy.
