Cute Little Notebooks

If you know me, you know how much I love notebooks. Or mini albums. Or notebooks. Did I mention the notebooks?

I made these two using my bind-it-all and some Unity Stamps. I've been using them for my bible study and church services. The are quite handy to have.

 The album on the left is a stamp from a Unity Stamp kit of the month. Sometime in 2010, I think. The second stamp is Every Breath by Phyllis Harris and sold by Unity Stamps.

The image on the left is the inside of the notebook. I loved the image so much that I used it through out the notebook.

Thanks so much for visiting. Hope your day is beautiful!

For My Daughter. Part 2

 This is the second segmented frame I've done. As with the first one, this one goes to one of my daughters.

 This stamp is from the set called Every Breath. Created by Phyllis Harris and sold by Unity Stamps. This one is probably my favorite. So far. Unity carries several. I want them. All. It's really sad that I'm not independently wealthy. Seriously. I used my Sizzix Machine for the oval, then decorated around it with rhinestones. Metal flowers came from Michael's ( on sale).

Close up of the girl and the bling. After everything was put together I added gold stickles to the dandelion.
I'm really pleased with the way everything turned out. However, I wish that there was a local copic class I could take. I'm not thrilled with my blending here. I suppose it just takes time.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.

For My Daughter. Part One

 I love these Phyllis Harris stamps from Unity Stamp Company. I wanted to make something special for my daughters. I bought two of these segmented frames on Sale from Michael's a while back. They were perfect for what I had in mind.

 This stamp is called Face the Sunshine. I love how life-like she looks. I stamped and colored her with my copic markers. I found the perfect shade of blue to match the paper I picked out ( don't you love it when that happens?) the metal hope and love embellishments from my stash ( Tim Holtz, I believe). The metal flowers came from Michael's ( on sale!)

Close up of the sweet little girl. Corners are embellished with little pearls.

Unity Stamps carries several Phyllis Harris stamp sets. I'm working on collecting them all. So far I only have two.. :) If you like this stamp as much as I do- you should head right over and get it! www.unitystampco.com
They are a wonderful company. I made a mistake with my shipping address and they were very helpful and helped me to correct it so that I was able to get my stamps in a timely manner.

Thanks for stopping by. Hope your day is full of joy.

Some Birthday Love

Today I spent some much needed time with my best friend, Kathryn. I can't believe it's been 3 years since we've seen each other. I'm hoping that we won't let another 3 year's go by before we see each other again.
 
In honor of her birthday I made this cute little gift card box. I used my Stampin' Up envelope punch board to make the box and my cute little ice cubes stamp from Unity Stamps (I've been dying to use it!).  I love that our birthdays are so close together, as we were able to do a little gift exchange before we headed home.
I had some crafty odds and ends that I picked up on sale over the past few months for her as well.
She got me all sorts of cool crafty stuff ( I can't wait to play around with!)

The weather worked with us for a change. It was beautiful out! Which made it easier to snap a cute picture before we left.

Thanks for the time well spent today Kathryn. I'm looking forward to some quality crafting time.

I love these little Ice Cubes ( Unity Stamps- Itty Bitty). 

I stamped the image twice, cut the cubes out and layered them with 

a pop up dot.

After everything was put together I added stickles to the ice cubes.

Fun little gifts from my bff. Can't wait to dig in and craft!

Some Much Needed Craft Time

Good Grief! I can't believe how long it's been. I have been crafting. Really. I just keep forgetting to make time to blog about it. Life with Teenagers gets crazy sometimes!

Last night was horrible. One of my SD cards got corrupted. I'm not sure how. But, I lost all the pictures that were on it. Most of them were older, so hopefully, I already backed them up on the computer. Nevertheless, I'm very distressed at the thought of losing all my work. The silver lining in my cloud is that I found my other SD card and was able to retake some of the pictures of my crafts. So, YAY!

Here's a small sample of what I've been working on recently.

 I love this Unity Stamps- stamp. It is currently one of my favorites.

 I have always been a big fan of Riley Moose. I especially love the ones with snow themes.

I altered this tin to put stamps in. It's cute and functional. I love that. This is a Unity Stamp from the KOM. Sometime in 2010. I can't remember when exactly and I don't have time to look it up. I have to get dressed and head to church. My sister and I are folding the information pamphlets for Sunday.

Oh, and I'm super excited! We are in charge of Decorations for the Valentine's dinner at our church. We are doing burlap place mats ( among other things). I'll take a picture and share when I get the chance.

Have a blessed weekend.
