So I was out shopping last week and stopped at Marshall's.  It has been years since I was in this store. I was just browsing the isles when I stumbled upon their crafting supplies. I was really excited. I didn't know they had crafting supplies. This is probably old news to all of you but to me it was great. I found a pad of 150 pages of American Girl paper.  It is filled with such beautiful paper and it only cost me $4.99.  What a steel of a deal. Just what I needed another store to buy crafting supplies...LOL  So here is the card I made using the paper.

The flower is a punch and the yellow center is a sticker (both from Michael's)
The saying is a clear sticker and the butterfly is made from a punch.

So I hope you find a great buy out there and share your findings with us..  Sending you hugs and butterfly kisses....

Happy Friday to you!!!  This card was created using the CTMH Florentine workshop on the Go kit. This was part of my left over cuttings from the workshop I had last month. 

Hope you have a Great weekend!!!

 Everyone knows that I like to collect jars, containers, boxes etc to make things with them.  I have always wanted to make a bible scripture/inspiration jar.  It's like the Advent calendar at Christmas or the candy jar 25 day count down to Christmas.  So here is my  "Daily Inspiration" Jar.   

This jar was given to me by my sister Renee.  Can't remember what she
 buys that comes in the jar but she has several of them.  Thanks Renee!

I printed inspirational quotes on 3 different colored paper and cut them up.

Here is the top of the jar.  I printed "My Daily Inspiration" on my
computer and used a die cut to cut it out.  

Front of the jar.
The paper is from Memory Box, the flower a punch and the
 center of the flower is "Sparklers" designer buttons from the Hen House.

Side view of the jar.
I used smaller flowers, added bling and green leaves.

Here is the jar filled with the inspiration quotes

As soon as I get all the bible scriptures typed up I will be making a "Daily Scripture Jar" or Advent Jar.  Thanks for stopping by today and sharing a few moments of your day with me!!  

Today I am sharing yet another turtle craft. I covered a composition book and  made a book marker.   These are great gifts and hot items at craft fairs.  They are very easy and fun to make. 

This is the mini composition book.

These books come in packs of three.  They measure 4.5 x 3.25. 

Here is a book marker I made using some of the same paper.
The flower is also a felt sticker.

So here is a picture of all the items together.
They will make  great gift sets

Thanks for popping in and checking out my blog.  No Wednesday card night tonight but we will return next week with our creations....Enjoy your day!!

The first day of school is just around the corner.  Those of you who have school children at home are  counting down the days....LOL  My daughter goes back to college in about 2 weeks and I am going to miss her so much!!   I pulled out my teacher paper and made a few school items. 

 Another Post-It-Note.
These scissors and ruler are just so adorable.
I have post-its on the brain.
I am so ready with Post-it-notes for my next craft fair...LOL

These are gift holders.  The close pins are from the dollar bin at
Michael's.  The close pin on the school bus is a chalk board. You
 can  write the teachers name on it. How cool its that!!

Here they are all together. 

Hope you have s good week!!!
