mark my {book}

I need a bookmark for my book so I whipped this one up...lol.

It has a long velvet ribbon and a vintage frame charm on the top. Edward is colored with copic markers. I embossed with clear powder on black ink before I heated the powder I sprinkled Iridescent glitter for "dazzle". The Quote is from New Moon and says: "you know, I never had much patience for Romeo".

It's me!

Another Scrap-book layout.

I scrapped this page of my little girl last year when she started kindergarden.

I included some **sweet** memorabilia.

The little craft in this layout is an item she made in her class.

It was to show what she thought she looked like.

The teacher also wrote some things she said about herself.

Have a great Week-end!

LOST {season 4}

I finished watching Season 4 a couple of weeks ago and just had to make a Thank-you card again. But I wanted to make a little gift too! Every LOST fan has noticed that abundant DARMA INITIATIVE supplies that magically fall from the sky, right? So I thought a DARMA INITIATIVE item ... like a darma covered a Ranch Dressing bottle, would be cool.{lol} Then, I thought, the gift should last longer than a few lunches.

Notebooks are always handy. So, I covered a composition books and created a card that looks like a plane ticket. The notebook had to have a hint of drama. So it has the title DARMA INITIATIVE and a darma-like symbol decorating the front. I cut these great letters with my MM SLICE cutter. I sponged green, yellow and beige ink on the edges to make the book, look like it's been dragged through the jungle for three months.

The plane ticket has the bright paper pieced Oceanic Airline Symbol on the front of the folder. The inside holds a simple blank ticket on which I wrote my thank you note. I did not sponge the ticket or the folder. I thought the contrast of the two pieces looks sharp when I tied the leather sting around them.

Well, I am waiting for season 5 to come out on DVD. Then Season 6 of LOST will start in Jan 2010.

Only one Days left on my Giveaway!

{old}book

There are something in life I just can not throw in the garbage. This journal is one of them.

It is the journal I wrote in the first year of my marriage. I love it! The thing I didn't love, was the cute-seey pattern that was printed on the front.

So today it got a new face.

To cover the book I cut 3 strips of patterned paper 5 X 12 inches. I glued the strips of paper directly on to the book. Starting with the spin then the front and back. By starting with the spin I could make nice clean lines when I placed the paper on the front and back.

{Materials}

epoxy sticker and patterned papers by My Big Ideas.

Have a great day!
