Journal

hhjournal

 

Did you know One Crazy Stamper now carries High Hopes stamps?  Today I wanted to show you a journal I made using my Zutter bind it all.  I used an acetate cover for my book so that my decorated page would be protected.

I made this journal for my son a while back and he loves “writing” in it. He use to just draw pictures but he can now write short sentences/ words to describe his inner thoughts. I love writing in journals and encourage my kids to do it also. Its so much fun to look back and see the progress they’ve made. Some day when he’s a man he will look back on this little journal and smile…and it makes me smile just thinking of it.

Supplies: High Hopes stamp, Copics, Zutter Bind It All, Nestabilities

Congratulations Bookmark

I’m back with ANOTHER bookmark. I really love the challenge of making bookmarks since they need to remain relatively flat.  No buttons, brads, dimensional flowers etc.  So I usually end up with lots of cute die cuts on my card.

I’ve used Whimsy corner die & Die Version Everyday die on my bookmark.

I made this bookmark for my darling daughter. She was honored with the Citizenship of the Year award at school.  Hopefully she’ll get lots of use out of this bookmark with summer reading!

Supplies: MFT stamp, Copics, Whimsy Die, Die Version die, Jellybean Soup papers

I See….

I really love how this card came together. This paper is from Echo Park and I adore the colors and pattern.  If you haven’t noticed I LOVE bright colors!  Now I just need a dress or shirt in this floral pattern for summer.  I’m looking forward to some beach time this summer. How about you, any fun summer plans?

Dandelion Girl

Hi all, Madge here for another wonderful Wednesday as I sit here typing I’m looking out onto the lake, which is as smooth as glass and a deep emerald color.  I’m R & R-ing………. which doesn’t mean a lot different than “retired”.  DH is out trying to catch the illustrious “big one”, which keeps avoiding his hook.
I’ve chosen to use “Dandelion Girl” designed by Sylvia Zet © Wee Stamps for Whimsy Stamps. P1010393Lora is out of this image at the moment, but if you would like it, email OCS and I’m sure she will comply.
The patterned paper background is Basic Grey "Plumeria".
Image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black, colored with Copic Markers, die cut with Spellbinders Labels One and mounted onto a Martha Stewart Border / Corner punch. Butterfly and pearls from stash.
I cut into the background paper to insert the matted image under the beautiful design of the paper. (I dislike covering up beautiful designer paper).
TWO more days and OCS will have another NEW challenge for you to enter and the chance to win “FREE STUFF”.  Meanwhile you still have a chance to enter your creation into the “Mother’s theme” for this month.

Light of Hope

It's Terrific Tuesday again for One Crazy Stamper, and today I am featuring a brand new Whimsy Stamp from artist Sylvia Zet called "Hopeful".

The image was stamped on Copic Xpress It cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then colored with Copics. I used Clearsnap Smooch Illuminate paint on the lantern to make it shine, and of course you can't see it, but it's there! The image was then layered on four different papers from an older My Mind's Eye 6 x 6 paper collection Lime Twist - Happy Go Lucky. The layers were distressed with the We R Memory Keepers Heart Attack Distressing/Sanding tool, and then inked with Tsukineko Memento Dew Drops - Danube Blue and Lilac Posies. The flowers are a mix of companies, butterfly is an older Prima embellishment, and the die is from Cheery Lynn.
Wishing you a sunny day today!
