Lots of Thank You Cards to be Made

Since I am still recovering from my surgery August 20th, I have received many blessings from friends and relatives. Some people sent cards, others did errands, some just stayed with me, and then there was food!!! The word "food" means the really healthy stuff, and the not so healthy, but "oh so good" stuff like cookies, and cake, etc ;-) Now that I am starting to feel better, I am cruising around the Internet looking for ideas, as it is time to start making Thank You cards. The deco-flower is a digital stamp. Head over to MAGIC IN THE AIR to get a FREE digi-stamp. There is a different stamp available every Monday, with a challenge! I decided to use Craft Cardstock as my base, followed by some Blush cardstock, not TAC, and then some rosy colored DSP I found in my overflowing scrap pile, followed by White Cardstock with the digital stamp on it. Everything is colored with Prismacolors and an Aqua-painter. I just got my own photo corner punch, so had to try it out. I paper pierced for the first time, so I'll take all helpful comments or criticisms. Finished the card off with the purple ribbon, and an orange eyelet using my Crop-Dile and a Thank You brad. Oh, and I almost forgot, I used a deco scissors on the corners of the cardstock.
Well, I hope you like it.

Book marker

Bookmark...super easy!

So I decided to make something different than a card. I found this site where someone had instructions for a Bookmark. OMG is it easy to make, and it works great! You can find the instructions on how to make it HERE.

So the on picture is just the book mark and the other picture shows you that it DOES work!! Will wonders never cease??

The "bookworm" I got from HERE I have never used a digital stamp, and wanted to find out more about them. So, one night, as I browsed the Internet, I found this website, and they will send you one digital stamp free, just to try and see if you like it. So this is the freebie sent to me, and all I could think of, was making him into a book marker. I accidentally made him too big, so I did the first book marker according to directions, and found that there was not enough room for my worm, so I made a second book marker, just a bit larger.

As you can see, I did some coloring with my Prismacolors and aqua painter. And I recently got a crop-a-dile and so I just had to put a couple of eyelets on...super easy with the crop-a-dile. It's a bit bulky to use, but it sure is better than beating on them with a hammer, and a lot quieter too.

Well, we are finally getting some much needed rain, but along with it, is coming thunder and lightning, so I am going to shut my computer down, and comfort my little dog.

Hugs~
