Happy Birthday to My Husband

I am a very lucky wife!

Seek and Ye Shall Find

I am trying a bit of fancy lettering in my journal these days. Anything has to be better than my natural scrawl. This alphabet is called Akim Cursive.

Magenta Puzzle Stamp

I just love the puzzle stamps from Magenta.  I stamped these five stamps on patterned paper, coloured them with pencil crayons, cut them out and mounted them on white card stock.  Easy!

Slab Book

You may have heard of Smash Books, released at CHA in January. They are kind of a "junk drawer" journal by K & Company designed to hold ideas, pictures, memorabilia, -- all the stuff that goes in a junk drawer. (Here is a cute, short video all about them.)

I'd heard of them but didn't know much about them, when I saw a video on Journal Artista about her trash books and stash books. These are journals she makes out of papers she would otherwise think of as "trash", and scrapbook papers she has in her "stash". Hmmm. I've done trash books (Papers of My Life), and I certainly have a small stash of scrapbook papers. It occurred to me that some of them were purchased in "slabs", so all the papers are nicely coordinated. The one I used is a Creating Keepsakes slab from Provocraft that I bought at Michaels.

I created a cover and put it all together with my Bind-it-All.

Here I did some stencilling......

and some stamping.

This will be a fun journal to work in. It is 6" x 6"

Stamping on Patterned Paper

I made these cards to swap with the ladies at the local stamp club.  They are all the same design but are stamped on different scrapbook papers. 

Feathered Friends

I love birds, and I must confess I own more than a few bird stamps.  I was inspired by StampingMathilda to get them out last week and create a few Artist Trading Cards.

Good Mail Day!

Yesterday I received from my sister some fabulous new papers, stamped images and lovely works of art.  Aren't those Basic Grey Wisteria papers yummy?  Not too good to use, I hope.

I feel like the mouse in the hammock this week, but what a difference a good mail day makes.

Happy Mother's Day!
