Good Morning!!  I have made some book markers and a mini composition books to match the card I did last week using distress inks.
I stamped these in the same way I did the card with background stamps
and added the distress inks. See close ups below.


I used the distress inks to  ink the ribbon to match the colors.
The ribbon is CTMH color-ready seam binding ribbon.  This is the first time I have used
it and I really like the way it came out.  What do you think?  Leave me comment if you have
used seam binding ribbon before. 



Mini Composition book.  The stamped saying is: "You mean the world to me"

I get these books in packs of 3 at our local "Family Dollar" for about  $1.50.
Here is the card, book marker and mini book all together.  It's a great gift set.
Hope you have time to craft this week and create something fun and exciting.....Thanks for stopping by!!

Here are the cards we made on Wednesday night.

Heather's card
This is a gift card holder.  The butterfly is a Memory box die.
The paper is just beautiful!!

Heather's second card.
We glued each piece separate to create the design.
Pretty cool card!

Maria's card
This is such a cute card.  I just love the pin wheels.
Look how precious those dragon flies are.

Debbie's card
This is a very elegant card.  The paper is beautiful.
Look at the close up below

We used the X-acto knife to cut into the flower, then add foam
tape behind it to make it pop.  Wow beautiful card.

Dee's  card.
This was a fun technique.  We stamped the flowers, then
using a blender pen we brushed on the white ink.
Pretty Cool!  Looks great!!

This is my card.
I used the Tom Holtz distress markers to color the flower.  I touched up
the ends to add color to the image.  We finished it off with a button and
a Happy Birthday.

Thank you Dee for letting us come over and play!....Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!!

Last night we got together and made some wonderful cards at our Wednesday card night.  I didn't have time to upload them onto my computer so I am sharing with you a card I made earlier this week.  I will post all the cards tomorrow I promise.  Have a Super Great Day!!!


I used Tim Holtz distress markers and CTMH "Simple Blossoms"
to stamp the flower.  The stamp set is a build a flower so each part
is stamped separate.  It was a fun card to make.

Today's card is made using Tim Holtz distress inks.  I only have three of his inks so I decided to use all three.   Now the other ladies I craft with have been using his inks for some time now and have many colors.  About a year ago I decide I to purchase a couple of his inks. So off I went with my 40% off coupons and headed to Hobby Lobby, then immediately went to Michael's to buy another one using the other 40% off coupon.  Now keep in mind these two stores  are only 10 minutes from each other.  I was all excited when I got home and decided to use them.  Boy was I surprised when I discovered I had purchased the same color at both stores....  (You know you have all done the same thing, just probably not in the same day and within the same 10 minutes). LOL

I started with a white CS and stamped the background lines.  Using
CTMH Sept. stamp of the month "Limited Edition"  and some wood stamps
I randomly stamped the images on the CS. Using a sponge I added ink
over the whole card. I did the same thing to a 2x5 piece of CS, added ribbon
 and twine to it then attached it to the card.  I punch the bird and attached it
along with the threaded buttons.  


We are having Wednesday Ladies Card night tonight.  So check back tomorrow to see what we have created...Have a good day!!!

These turtle stickers are just so darn cute!!  I made some Post-it-Note holders with them. 
This paper come in 5x7 sheets of bright pattern and solid colors.
I got them in the dollar bin at Micheal's years ago and never
used them.  The colors go well with the turtles.
