May The Force Be With You……

Isn’t this paper fun? With a 6 year old and 8 year old boy in our house- it is all about STAR WARS! When I saw that Green Tangerines had this paper….I rushed out and got some! I have the perfect layout in mind of Logan in a stare down contest with a clone trooper at Disneyland! However I plan to make a stack of cards also with this paper- since I never seem to have enough BOY cards on hand when they have a party to go to.

I could go on and on with the Star Wars jokes and quotes- but I will spare you……today anyways!

Sketch Girls…..SG2

This is the 2nd sketch for Sketch Girls. Go Here if you want all the details. Isn’t this a cute sketch that Leigh Anne came up with? This is what I came up with………

Alison sent me this adorable quote. What can I say….google eyes came to mind………

The bottom two rows are teeny-tiny google eyes. I wish you could see the card in person. When you shake it – you can hear all those little eyes!!!

Well I have a few pictures to share with you of MY creations:

 

Well my first card is for team Edward.  I do have to say that I do still play for this team! 

I punched out one of those red flocked circles to make a little red flocked heart to show my LOVE……

As much as I do love Edward…..I am starting to like Jacob more than I used to.  So this is a card to share for all the Team Jacob Fans…… {I just HAD to make TWO projects for this special challenge because the images are just so special!}
 

It is hard to see….but the paper is a handmade paper with gold, silver, and copper embossed leaves…..
I also did a hand stitch around the team Jacob tag.

Cute little metal charms…..hand stitched on…….

 

Hope you enjoyed it!  Audra makes some amazing stamps!  They really do make for some great projects!

Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenge #40……

It is the amazing Jen’s turn to pick out theme this week. This is what Jen has to say……..
Blue. Edward loves Bella in blue.

"That color blue looks lovely with your skin," he said, watching me. I was surprised; I looked down, flushing, of course.

So this week the challenge is simple... create anything you want focusing on the color blue. Twilight related? Well that's up to you.
Comment challenge... What's your favorite color to wear and why?

Here is my blue card:

I did some stitching on the machine……..This button came with a sweater I bought and the fibers came with another sweater I had bought. They were the little packs that are included to have as extras? Well I never use them. By the time they would need them- the sweater needs to go in the trash right? I just always add those type things to my craft stash!

As always, make sure you make your rounds and check out all the wonderful projects the other DT members did!

My Little LOST Book…………….

I saw the idea for this book over on Debbie’s blog.   She gave some great images- so I was able to make my own instructions for this cute little book.  I am sure there are directions floating around somewhere out there in web-space.  Sometime’s it is just easier and faster for me to make up my own!
The one thing I wanted to change about the book was that the envelopes are attached to the book.  I thought it would make a super cute card holder instead if I could make it so they came out and were usable.

My little black book is my little LOST book………

 

 

  Can you see the paper clips?  I used those to attach the envelopes to the accordion folds instead of adhering them.  This will allow the recipient to remove the card and envelope for use.

 

Inside back cover……………….

So here are the measurements if you would like to make one yourself!
I used (5)  4 3/4 x 6 1/2 envelopes
5 matching card are placed inside the envelopes
Accordion binding- 12 x 6 1/2 score at every 1 inch mark
Ribbon- (2)  12” strands adhere both to inside back cover BEFORE you add accordion binding and back cover lining page.
Chipboard 5 x 6 5/8 (2 of these)
Cover cardstock 6 x 7 5/8 (2 of these as well)
Inside cover linings- 4 3/4 x 6 1/2
12 matching paper clips

This is a fun project to put together with dramatic results!
Enjoy!  Feel free to leave me a message or email me if you have any questions!
