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!

Forest Friend CAS12 Challenge

This is the card I made for the CAS12 challenge on SCS. The challenge was to use bits of ribbon. It took me forever to get around to making this card. I just couldn't think of anything. Finally I just sat down and started moving cardstock around! :)Paper: SU - Not Quite Navy, Chocolate Chip, Garden Green
Ink: SU - Garden Green & Chocolate Chip
Stamps: SU - Forest Friends & Baroque Motifs
Ribbon: Walmart
Technique: Cuttlebug embossing (Distressed Stripe)

To be honest, I'm not sure how I feel about this card. I had the colors in my mind and just added everything as I went along. Hmm...I'll see if it grows on me. :)
