Easy day!

Since it's Mother's day (and my DH's birthday) I figured I'd take a crafting break. A little one. :) I thought I'd just share a quick and cute little project I made for a couple of customers. The first bookmark I made using the "Forest Friends" stamp set. The second is "Crazy for Cupcakes"; both from SU. They were sooo easy to make. Here's the quick instructions for the "Friend" bookmark:

1. I punched two circles from chocolate chip cardstock and adhered them back to back on the top of the ribbon.

2. I then punched the little owl out with a smaller circle punch and attached it to one side of the larger circle.

3. The tree was done in the same way except that I rounded the corners with a punch.

See? Easy as can be. I think these make cute little gifts for just about anyone. My sister has already put in a request for a Twilight themed bookmark. :)

One of God's greatest gifts in this world is to love and be loved by a child. A small reflection of the amazing love God has for us. Happy Mother's day to all you wonderful mama's out there!

Sweet!

I don't have a project of my own to post today, but I wanted to share something I got in the mail this afternoon. Over on SCS there is a group called RAK. It stands for Random Act of Kindness. People make cards and send them out to others in the group for any 'ol reason. It's really rather sweet and lots of fun. There is also a sub-group for birthdays. I almost forgot about it until I opened my mailbox today! A wonderful stamper named Mary sent me the cutest card along with a set of adorable, little clear stamps! Check them out:This is all very nice in general. What made it even better today was that I was kinda "down in the dumps". When I saw this it really brightened my day.

See!? Cardmaking is a marvelous hobby! So much enjoyment to go around!! :)
