Simon Says Choose a Sketch

Hello Everyone!  This week on the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog, Simon Says "Choose a Sketch!"   I chose sketch number 1 for my Card.  I haven't played with my Copic Markers in months and decided this was a good time to pull them out. I also used one of my favorite Magnolia Tilda Stamps...she's so stinkin' cute!

The Supplies I used for this Card are:

Time is Measured

As soon as I got this Die (thank you Anita, I love it!!) I knew the first thing I wanted to do with it was make a card for my Mom. My Mom loves to sew, this is perfect for her :-)  I'm entering this card into the Crafty Friends Challenge Blog. The challenge is to use 2 Dies. Technically I used 3 for this card... the Spellbinders Lacey Circles Die, the Tim Holtz Sewing Edge Die and I used the Sizzix Circle Die to cut bronze tulle circles for my little flower. The Sentiment is from the Darcie's Cherish Time Stamp set. The Pearl in the flower is from Want2Scrap. I used Ranger Distress Markers and Bic Metallic Markers to color the items on the sewing edge die cut.

Thank you for looking!

Dream Big!

I recently purchased my first set of JustRite Stamps and I love them!!  The set I bought is called the Custom Design Cardmaking Kit and it's jam packed with great sentiments, borders and alphas. I can see the JustRite Stamp line is going to be a new obsession for me LOL  I was tickled to see they hold Challenges on their Blog and today I'm joining one for the first time. The Challenge is Spring Fling .  I used my new JustRite Custom Design Cardmaking Kit along with some Club Scrap Papers, Seam Binding and a sweet Butterfly that an online friend gave to me.  I cut the sentiment out with my Spellbinders Lacey Circles Dies and inked the edges of the papers with Ranger Distress Ink.

Thank you for looking!  I must have held my camera at a funny angle because that seam binding is straight on the card LOL

Spellbinders Die storage Album-Anything but a card!

Happy Saturday Everyone! This week the Challenge over at Simon Says Stamp and Show is "Anything but a Card" and this is what I created for that Challenge.
My newest addiction is Spellbinders Dies. I bought my first one a couple of weeks ago and love it! I'm now up to 3 sets and decided to make an album to store them in.  I cut thick 12x12 chipboard into 12x6 strips for the covers, covered them with Tim Holtz luscious Shabby Papers, took different sheets from his Shabby Stash and folded each sheet in half length wise to create my pages. I then cut strips of magnetic sheeting with my xyron and adhered them to the pages. Inside the front cover I created a pocket to hold the labels for each die set until I know by heart which sets I have. I decorated the front cover with some Say it with Pearls bling by Prima, and finished it off with some of my favorite Tim Holtz metal embellishments. I used Tim Holtz Hitch Fasteners and a hinge cut from Grungeboard using Tim's Hardware findings Die for the Album closure.

and here's a view inside the front cover:
