MIM #98 with Papertreyink

Oh my goodness I'm in love!! Blogging from my phone in the middle of the night while nursing a newborn is the easiest thing ever!!

Here's a card I scraped up very quickly ( cause my crafting time is that limited lol!!)

I placed some grey lace washi over the yellow chevron paper- should have placed it closer together now that I look. This is my favourite way of changing pattern paper and I'm going I use it more frequently!
I used the blackboard technique and made a little frame with wooden paper from Michaels.
Stamp and ribbon is SU. Card stock and ink is PTI.

Shower

Whoops !! Sorry for the absence, but I'm back at work and in the real world after my maternity leave.....and stamping time is hard to come by !

I'm actually sacrificing sleep to stamp. And I LOVE my sleep so that is a real indicator of how calm this hobby makes me !

Anywhoo...on to the card.

Had to create a shower card for a customer. This card uses some MME lost and found paper..it is SUCH a pretty line. I rarely use this much pattern paper- or this little stamping!- on a card but it felt right.

Rose Red and Kraft - my new favourite colour combo !!

I emphasized the ribbon around the dummy's waist with some glitter and an i-rock pearl. Paper was stamped with an SU punch, and ribbon is SU kraft seam binding.

Stamps in the upper corner are PTI scattered showers.

Thanks for looking and enjoy your day !

One....or Eleven

I was asked to make a card for a little girls first birthday, and told that they had bought her a tea-set.

I thought it would make a great theme for a card...till I remembered I don't have any teacup stamps. So I purchased a digital image from SU and used it in their MDS software.

First I re sized it and repeated it for a background. I printed that onto some MME Lost and found patterned paper. Then sized them larger for the focal point

Then I thought about some teacup cupcakes I had seen floating around blogland...and the rest of the card just went along!!

Felt is PTI, the frame is and embossing folder from SU that I ran through a few times to make it smaller. Ribbon is SU seam binding.

When I showed my hubby the card he says to me......

So who's turning 11 ??

Bookmarks...

It may sound silly, but one thing I was looking forward to as my little guys started school was baking treats for his class on special occasions.

Sadly...there is a no treat policy at his school and I wasn't quite sure what I was going to do (lip glosses and pencils from the dollar store ??)

So a few weeks ago when Joyce sent me a beautiful Owl bookmark I was saved ! Totally cased her design, and thankfully crafty friends had the Owl Punch from SU and PTI's bookmark die for me to borrow...

These were done surprisingly quickly. I sent the circle and pinking circle from Limitless layers through my big shot together.. and instead of gluing the itty bitty eye centres I used a white gel pen.

Also, I cut the strips of paper to an approximate length before punching them out to conserve paper and avoid a bunch of punched out shapes I didn't need.

Vasili loved them, his classmates and teacher loved them, and he loooooved handing them out on the playground !!
