Wooden Paper Clips

Last Saturday I went to a stamp camp and we made some really cool projects. I especially loved this one as it was so simple. The large wooden paper clips come from Oriental Trading but all the other products are CTMH from the new fall catalog. I've got to order some more paper clips so I can make some different versions of this. I can see one for each season making a great desk calendar!

Ok - Here's another one using smaller tags

Cool Tag Flower Card

Excited to learn a new technique which works great with the double side patterned paper I used. No stamping this time. I can't wait to share this with my classes. Thanks Pat for sharing this with me.

Cards Cards everywhere........

I've been working hard on a swap all weekend and still have loads to do. I have to make 5 cards (6 of each) and then a 9 by 9 scrapbook page - well I've done 3 of the cards. Still quite a bit to do before Friday when I have to mail it.
What though was even more exciting was that I got the new Imagine Scrapbook Book - I can't wait to use it. So many cute ideas and some really great ideas and techniques. Now I just have to find time to do some scrapbooking. Plan A get the swap done and then I can. At least the kids go back to school next week and then I will have time to do it.


Here's another of my creations (not a swap one - I'll share these when I've done them all). The technique is called Faux Flock.

Cousins

I really haven't been doing much scrapbooking so have made a pledge to get back to it and create more. So here's the latest efforts. I'm really happy with it. The Cousins title was made using dimensional elements. First sponge the letters with color and then stamp image. Then you cover with liquid glass to make them shiny - love the look.
The journaling is fun - I found the poem on the internet and decided it said it all.



This layout will go in my special people album.

Bling and the Stamp of the Month

This is a cool card I've made with the current Stamp of the month from CTMH called Free Spirit. The circle stamps on this set are great and I love the little month one for using to date scrapbook pages.

This card also uses the adhesive sheets CTMH has - they are perfect as they are clear unlike other adhesive sheets. You stamp on you cardstock and then cover with the adhesive. I cut the circle using colluzle this time but you could use anything. Then remove the other side of the paper on the adhesive and cover with the prisma glitter - the glitter just sticks where you want it.

Back to School Soon

Well its nearly back to school for the kids and aren't I glad. This summer has been long.......and hot.........

Made this for the teachers this year - a bit of warm and fuzzy at the beginning of the year goes a long way. Very easy to make and the jars are from Michaels. Can you make them for lots of other occasions. This one is filled with small items of school supplies that a teacher may need in a year plus chocolate - well all teachers need that don't they!
