A BOOKMARK FOR DAD

HELLO ALL

hope you are doing great.

i am doing fab....just had my son over for 2 entire weeks, yay!

we spent some priceless time together.

i am so happy.

anyway, since father's day is coming soon i made a bookmark for my husband since he does not like to read, lol....but he can use it at work for some paperwork...mmm, all is paper less anymore, hehe.

i guess i will end up using it myself.

i am calling the bookmark

Oh, Happy Day!

Dad

 i am sharing my project at nanikeola scrapbooking. it was my turn to play with the awesome cold country from 7 dots.

between nature walk and cold country i do not know which one i like better. both collections are beautiful...but then nanikeola have more from 7dots that i am also in love with. the pictures do not do them justice. when you have those papers in front of you...oh my!

on this bookmark i also used some of lindy's stamp gang sprays, some embossing powder, gesso and a  clear stamp set from illumination (another awesome collection from 7dots) . the orangey mini alphas are from messy head (heh, another fab 7dots collection. can you tell how much i like 7dots?) and those mini alphas are so very cute.  

the mini paper clip is from tim holtz. the stamped numbers are from my mind's eye.

 the heart and the tag where i stamped the sentiment are from nature walk. i added some purple dots with some kind of texture media i had in my stash for a while and i rubbed some of it on the edges too. 

 some machine stitching and rough edges of course, :D

well, and this is it for now. i hope you enjoyed my bookmark and i hope inspires you to play with some different media like i am just doing. i still love my die cuts but right now i am having fun getting stained, lol.

thanks for stopping by.

TAKE FLIGHT WITH ME...playing with inks

hello all

hoping you guys had a fabulous mother day.

i spent mine in a flower garden i am working on and then out for dinner.

it was a beautiful day.

today i want to share with you this journal cover i made using some of  lindy's stamp gang sprays.  this is my second time using them i love them. i love the colors and how they spray. i also like that they come in powder form and you  get to mix them at home. i felt like an alchemist, lol.

-----

 Take Flight with Me

i used the "starburst" set sprays from lindy's:  tibetan poppy teal, ponderosa pine olives and autumn maple crimson.

i think these are my favorites from the starburst set.

the sticker that i chose for my project's title comes from the nature walk collection from 7dots (another love of mine).

i also used the same "spring" stamp set from the paper wings productions i used on the mini for the hop.

"and i think to myself, what a wonderful world"

think about it...this small phrase has a huge meaning. love it too.

the stencil used was pre-cut with my cricut expression and i used some white pigment ink with it.

i also used some foam stamps for the word "me" and used the same white pigment ink. i then outline the word with a black ink zig pen.

the "with" mini alpha stickers are from glitz.

above you can see the "music" stamp, some white splashes done with gesso, some clear embossing powder and the

if i might say, beautiful flower  i embellished with stickles, gesso and some of the spray inks.

you also can see some zigzag stitching.

here you can see the entire finished cover.

this was really a lot of fun.

and....i know i said i would leave the mixed media to my teammates but i got curious and decided to give it a try.

no regrets.

i am absolutely in love with it.

(i won't be explaining much since this is already a long post but if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask me in the comments area and i will get back to you as soon as possible).

the word bloom and the saying on the right are from the adorable cling stamp set from paper wings production called "spring".

they stamp so nice.

-back cover-

i dabbled a bit with mixed media on this project using a small amount of ink sprays from lindy's stamp gang, but i have to admit i am a total rookie yet. i still hope you enjoy my project as much as i did. i think it would be the perfect gift to any friend in your life. just add some mini pics and some mini journaling of you own and voila...ready to be a memorable keepsake.
