Owl be....



Needed some thinking of you cards so
this is what I came up with.
I've had this embossing folder for
months and haven't used it yet so
today was the day!

Also the rest of the world most likely
already knows this but I just
figured it out! lol
If you take a SU marker and satin
ribbon.....yep it works! I had no
Bermuda Bay ribbon so made my own.

Have a great day everyone!

RAWR




How cute is this Dinosaur Boy?!

My 7yo son has been obsessed with Dinosaurs
from the time he laid eyes on them.
So when I found this set on the MFT site....
I had to have it!

To make this card I used lots of stuff I've had
hanging around for a while.
My friend Dawnmarie (hi DM!)
cut and gave me the clouds and felt grass to
try out and what can I say loving them!
She gave them to me months ago but hey
better late than never right!?!
The cloud paper was also given to me
thanks Cindy!
This set is called Little Loveosaurus it's
from MFT stamps and it's CUTE!

Mason Jar Pin Cushion


My project for the day.

I found this fabric at Hobby Lobby in the remnants section
and immediately this project came to mind.
I was inspired by the Pin Cushion in the SU Occasions Mini.
Really a simple project if you better with a glue gun than I am...
I burned 4 of my 10 fingers...ah the things I will endure
for my friends! lol

This is another gift going out soon.
Hope it's enjoyed!

To make the tags I used the SU set Tiny Tags.
LOVE this set it's turning into one of my
go-to sets, seem to be using it all the time.

Stay Inky my Friends!

Mini Clipboard for a Friend

Mini SU clipboard, covered with Basic Grey DSP, Lots of different lace and trims, letter cut using my Cricut machine.
Love the MFT rolled flower die!

to the DSP to make the pen holder.
I made this little clipboard for a friend.
This is another goodie from the SU clearance rack.
I have white post it notes on order
they will be in this week...so after they
get here I'll add one to the clipboard.

Hope everyone is having a blessed Monday!
