Day 52

I don't even really know what I made today!  I just looked around to see what I had and thought this would look nice...I was right!  It came out cute.  I might look for a wallet sized frame for it next time I'm out and about.

I took a wood square that Stan had painted black a week or so ago.  I stamped it with a butterfly stamp using tinted embossing ink and put red embossing powder over it.  I then went back and stamped "Live, Laugh, Love" and used embossing powder on it as well.  The pictures don't show how pretty it really looks, but take my word for it, it's nice!

Day 35

I'm not sure what's going on, but I'm having a case of "crafter's block" or something.  I couldn't really decide on what to do tonight so I went with another bookmark.  My idea was a woodland theme with a fairy hiding, or partially coming out.  I didn't really get the look I was going for.

I used a leaf stamp, a fairy stamp, and a dragonfly punch.  It's cute, but not what I wanted overall.  What do you think?

Day 5

Hallmark watch out!  Okay, well maybe not.  I did have other ideas, but I realized that they would take more then a day to finish.  Since I only have an hour or two when I get home at night, I think my options are going to be limited.  Maybe once I get into a better routine, I'll be able to whip out more advanced projects.  In the meantime, here is another card.  This one will go in the "when needed" box for now, so I didn't designate it an occasion. 

The design is a stamp that I inked and stamped two different times on yellow paper.  I cut both designs out and colored them in, and then used a 3D pop dot to stack the designs to get the popped effect.  I like it lots!  Once I find a use for the card, I'll add words and maybe some other decorations, but for now, it's perfect!
