Mini Album and Candle

A friend is graduating this weekend from Youngstown State University with a Masters in Education and wanted to make her a little something. I made this 8 X 8 mini album with all the pages decorated in the schools colors. I also decorated the candle with the name of the school and the schools mascot "Pete". I gave it to her yesterday and she just loved it. I have two sons attending this university so I have been collecting thing to be ready to make theirs.

Get Well Soon Card

This is a card that I made for a friend that had surgery yesterday. The image is a Magnolia stamp called "Tilda with Bunch of Roses". It was colored with Copic markers. The paper used is a two sided paper from American Traditional Designs called Family Tapestry Green CS. The butterfly is from Martha Stewart called "Monarch Butterfly". The rose is made from one of the new Cricut cartridge called " Flower Shoppe". The butterfly and flowers were accented with Spica markers and Stickles.


Copic markers used: C00, 1. E000, 00, 11, 25, 31, 35, 37, 53. Y000, 02, 08, 17. G21, 24, 28.

Helpful Hints

Once again I wanted to share with you some hints that I thought would be useful. Hope you find this helpful.

I was playing in my crafting room and came up with this idea of making a rubber stamp using the Cuttlebug, a Sizzix die and rubber gasket material from the hardware plumbing department. I could not believe how well it turned out. Now I have so many ideas of more rubber stamps that I want to make. I used it this time with the VersaMark stamp pad to make the background paper. But we are only limited to our imagination. So have fun and let me know that you did with this material.

Christmas in July Card

This is my Christmas in July card. I saw this image on Mo's Digital Pencil and had to have it. It is called "Little Elf Pipa". I think she is so darling. The image was colored with Copic markers. I punched the bulbs out with white cardstock then colored them in with Copic markers. I punched the top of the bulbs with gray texture cardstock and made the lines with Copic markers. The wire is made with "Silver Pearl" Liquid Pearls.

Copic markers used were: BG10,11,13. C1,3. R32,35,37,39. G02,05,09. E00,11,13,47,49.

Spica markers: Clear, Silver, Red, Olive.

New Storage Binders

Just wanted to share how I am now storing my flat diecut dies and my new Scrapbooking Inventory Binder. The binders were purchased from Wal-Marts in the back-to-school supplies. They come in different colors. I just love them. I even have my 12" border dies stored in it also.
