Copic Storage

Travel/dust cover lid just slides down into place.

Also has a handle on top for easy travel. Or for RIBBON!

Don't they look lonely they need more friends.

New Copic Storage!

Whooo Hooo! I do love having a Handy Hubby.

I think I would have liked this better not painted but it had ugly black print on the wood. I told hubby to use that part first in case of boo boos but it went together great so I just painted it.

I just love it but it looks so empty I guess I need to start saving

so I can order more copics.

Some of you wanted to know if and how much you could buy these for Hubby did the math and cost of materials and a little labor came out to $35 each. So if you still want one and your local let me know and I'll get him on it. He has the supplies on hand for 3 more boxes so they can be done next weekend more than likely.

Amanda

I purchased these stamps a few months back at a LSS.

Supplies: Stamps by Judith, CTMH DP, Ribbon from Offray, Copic Markers W4, E99, E07, BG93

Ribbon Storage

Hello Everyone!

I wanted to share with you my latest ribbon storage. I found this rack at a local store that was going out of business and I

payed $20 for it I think it was a GREAT deal.

Some of my local friends and I took a road trip to the

Ribbon Outlet in here in MD it was so much I can't even

tell you how crazy fun it was.

If you know me you know that I can't stand my stuff not

having a "home" so I spent most of the day sorting and stuffing my ribbon tower. My HUGE rolls will not fit on here but this is most of my ribbon I did find two more shoe boxes full of new spools so I need to work those in this week.

****Sorry for whatever reason the pics are out of order and I don't feel like reloading them****

Rain Rain Go Away!

It's been a rainy day here in Maryland. What a perfect image to work with today.

I do love my little mice. This image is from House Mouse Stamps they are great go check them out.

For this card I used:

SU CS, Kiwi Kiss, Baja Breeze, SU DP from S-A-B paper pack. The image is House Mouse Gentle Rain, the ribbon I used white offray ribbon that I colored with Baja Breeze reinker, Robins Nest due drops (water), Prima flowers, MM brads, colored with Copic markers (to many to list).

Hope all of you are having better weather!

It's all about the PINK!

I made this as a Birthday gift for one of the Meade Girls who had a

Birhday this month. I've had it done for a couple weeks now but

I didn't want to post it and it not be a SURPRISE!

So she has it and really like it I think.

I just love making these they are fun and easy.

I used white paint to give it a white washed look. It's covered with Bo Bunny paper (love this stuff) it's my 2nd fav DP. Mary told me her Fav color is Bright Pink so I went with that for this project. It's all Pink, White, black.

Enjoy!

It's all about the PINK!

Hello!

I made this card last Friday I had a special little girl in mind for this card.

Her Fav color is PINK so with that in mind I came up with this card.

I would never use this much pink all together but you know it's for her not me.

I use the SU set Hedgehog Happiness, SU card stock, Bo Bunny DP, Craft Store ribbon, white brads and eyelets, pink crystals, copics markers.

Card Ministry

I've been working on some really simple quick cards for

my Mothers church. So far I have made 150 cards!

I really hope they enjoy them.

Happy Stamping!
