NOTES...A BIND IT ALL PROJECT

this is a BIA (Bind It All) project. a small notebook for a young friend friend of my son. T will be going to Connecticut to study theater/film production. she is very smart and already wrote, directed and produced a small play while in high school. T also assisted on the production of Lil' Abner, where my son played Abner.

Notes

5.25 x 3.25

NOTES were stamped with the Font-abulous clear stamp set from My Pink Stamper. the theater faces (sometimes called (Comedy and Tragedy) are from Locker Talk---image #24 with all its layers.

the ticket border is from K&CO. and the faces were stamped with an inkadinkado stamp set i own.

another view so you noticed the thickness of the notebook and the faces. i used modge podge to adhere the paper to a very thick chipboard.

this is how your BIA wires should look when closed. i still can't get a perfect "O" but i am getting much better. i really do not think you can get a perfect "O" but i keep trying. :P

T school colors are red, black and white.

thanks for stopping by and i hope this project reminds you of the dusty BIA in your closet. hehe

(that is where i found mine--LOL)

love you all and have a fab day!

YOU'VE GOT MAD SKILLS

HELLO FRIENDS,

it will be before we all realize it my son will be gone to start a new chapter in his life and,

i think the "empty nest" syndrome is attacking me already. i feel so anxious these days.

BUT...

   this card that i will give him after his lead in the musical "Lil Abner" made me happy. i needed to craft to take my mind off things :P

You've got mad skills

4.25" by 5.5"

using the "nifty fifty" cartridge and image#44 with all its layers.

 all images were cut at 3.50". the shoes are so darn cute, aren't they?

 the sentiment "you've got mad skills" is from my pink stamper clear set called

"sport-tastic".

 i stamped it on a scrap of cardstock and mounted it on a ticket shape.

i also used a handy action wobble for the dancing shoes.

it was really easy and fun to make this card.

hope you like it.

note: i purchased the new everyday pop-up cards cart but it is not so easy and i  lost my patience the other day with the first image which is the eiffel tower, lol. i need more practice, hehe. any tips are welcome! :)

***********

on another note: here is a photo of the local newspaper where you will find my son and some cast members. they will be performing this weekend.

he had to get a funny haircut for the part

 the top is really long and the sides are really short. hehe

 anyway...sunday he will be going for another haircut, lol-- to get his style back.

and i am so very sorry i haven't been around your blogs and i really really feel bad but i believe things will be like this maybe until after the graduation party. maybe not as bad as lately but some things are going to required extra time and this poor body can do so much a day. after so many hours i am good for nothing. :P

see you on friday tough for my pink stamper blog hop...a small candy might be chanced...lol

 love you all!
