Happy Place!



It's going to be a hot one in Maryland today.
I'm in my Happy Place my stamp room in the AC!

Took a road trip with friends to Hobby Lobby (in PA)
over the weekend found this super cute HM stamp that's
been on my wish list forever. Just had to use it today.

Love making these little cards they take all
of 5min to make really quick and easy.

Hope everyone is having a GREAT week!
Stay inky my friends!

This is my card for the Farm Card Challenge over on SCS.
It makes me think of Farmville on FB! Just a fun card

Thanks Jane

I'm in love with this stamp set. It's from PTI and it's so much fun!
I'm borrowing it from a friend but think I'm going to buy it. It's just
to much fun not to own it.

Just a quick card I made yesterday. Not real happy with it but
it will work! lol

Hope your week is off to a GREAT start.
Have fun a stay inky.

Teacher Appreciation Gifts




Teacher Appreciation Gifts.

This week is teacher appreciation week so this is something that I came up with
that is using up stuff I've already got laying around. Got to love that.
The pencil cups are from Pier One they were on sale for .25 each. Found them
like a year ago at a pier one that was closing.

The flower stems are pencils also had laying around here used a dozen for each holder.
The flowers I cut using my Cricut machine. Made this a much quicker project. No
way I would have done this with the sizzix.
The paper is an older DCWV stack I think. It's single sided paper
so I used ink pads and a brayer to ink the white side of the paper.
The ribbon is from Offray ribbon outlet.
I used red line tape to stick the flowers to the pencils so they can easily
be picked off and used as pencils.

Hope you all are staying inky this week!
If any teachers are visiting THANK YOU for doing what you do!
