Bind It All

Yeah! I finally learned to make a watermark! I am so excited to now have my own watermark! I conned Mary into letting me play with her bind it all she got from EP. It is so awesome!! This little book is made from coasters (from Outback Steakhouse) covered with SU's Ginger Blossom Designer paper. I also used mellow moss and vanilla cardstock. The flowers are from the pretties kit I just finally got! They were so super easy to dye! I was seriously surprised! I just pressed them down on the regal rose stamp pad and they soaked up the ink! Funny though, they sure don't look like regal rose to me! I used the clear rhinestone brads for the flower centers. I wasn't sure whether the ribbon on the side was too much...oh well guess I can always cut it off later!

Mailboxes

I was so excited to find these little mailboxes in the Target dollar spot! To decorate mine I used SU Valentine's paper from 2007. LOL I have horded these for a whole year!! I also used the coordinating ribbon. I used regal rose, pretty in pink and taken with teal ink. The butterfly is from the Priceless set. I also used the scallop circle punch and rhinestone brads!

Recent Stamping!

These are some of the recent stamping projects I have made. This card I made using my new Embrace Life set from the Spring Mini: I decided to use my Priceless set! I don't use this set very often. The colors are mellow moss and groovy guava. It is also pierced with the crafters kit...that doesn't show up very well in the pictures though!
I cased the idea for this card from the catalog. It is a birthday card for my Grandmother in law.

These are some little gift cards I made for my aunt. She is a fabulous knitter and sticks these little cards in with gifts she knits. On the cards she can write the care instructions.
