I only have a minute (maybe less!) but I wanted to post the Valentine that I made for my sweet hubby. Then I have to go give it to him!!!

The stamp set is by Papertrey Ink and I colored it with my Copic markers. I also popped up the mailboxes and that looks really cool IRL.

I will update this post tomorrow with the recipe!!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Hand Stamped Dry Erase Boards!

Filed Under 3D, Copics, Stampin Up! | 3 Comments

Sorry to post so late today but I had MOPS this morning (it’s an hour drive each way) and I just never had a chance to schedule a post. But I have a project to show you that I just LOVE. I needed to bring a small gift for ech of the 8 gals at my table and it was suggested that we bring some sort of notebook or something that could be used for To Do lists. It got me thinking about a project that Diana Gibbs made back in December. So here are 2 of the dry erase boards that I made….

So sorry about the crappy lighting in the pictures. It has been cloudy and raining for about 36 hours so there is no good lighting for pictures. But aren’t these cute?! I got the photo frames at the dollar store. They are 5×7. I took some patterned paper and printed lines on it with my printer. Then I decorated with a stamped image and stuck it in the frame. Now you can use a Dry Erase marker to write on it!!! I am going to keep mine in my stamp room. Whenever I run out of a crdstock color or something, I can write it on the frame to make ordering easier! I also think it would be great to put next to the phone with a list of friends and family with birthdays coming up. It will help to remind you to call them. You could even use it for phone messages!

I will upload pictures of the other frames this weekend.

A Spring Day!

Filed Under Cards, Copics | 2 Comments

So the high today in Casa Grande, AZ is 79 degrees!!! Crazy! But so nice! It feels like spring. I have been wearing capris and flip flops this week! And so here is a nice spring card…

I used a hostess set that just retired on Sunday. It had never seen ink!!!! Crazy! But over the weekend, I really wantd to color with my Copic markers and so I pulled this stamp set out! I am sorry the sentiment is so blurry in the picture but it says "A Nice Word is like a Spring Day."

Here is a close up of the coloring…

I think I am getting better with the copics, but I still have a ways to go.

Recipe:

Stamps: Serene Spring

Paper: Maine Blueberry DSP, Not Quite Navy, Bashful Blue, Whisper White

Ink: Black Archival Brilliance

Other: Scallop Edge Punch, White Gel Pen, Bashful Blue Taffeta Ribbon, Copics Markers, Bashful Blue Button

 

Have you placed your first order from the new catalog yet? I placed mine yesterday afternoon and now I am waiting impatiently for my new goodies to come!
