I {heart} Movies!

The Cinema Saturday Blog is a favorite challenge for me because I love MOVIES! I could watch a movie every night. I watch while I scrap and while I fold laundry. {which I have been doing a lot of} I just love movies.

This week-end movie of inspiration is Australia and element is kraft paper.

If you have not seen is get it and you will fall in love. It is very romantic and the images are unforgettable. If you ever though cowboy were cute you will love Huge Jackman in Australia.

I also used Laura's Sketch #44 From 2 Sketch 4 you.

Happy Krafting!

Christmas gift package

The Greeting Farm had a great Challenge for "the complete package", and boy was I stumped. After much thought I came up with this ...

These tins and book clip coordinate with the gift holder I made on my blog-aversary post. {here}

They are a Christmas Gift for my "Mommy-Buddy".  I stamped and colored Anya's head for tags to embellish the tins. I put a eyelet in the hat  to lace the tags to the tins.

The packaging is a re-use package from my birthday. I re-moved the original labels and replaced them with hand-stamp labels. {check out the close ups}

I also wanted to let you all know that there is a sale over at Purple Onion Design Stamps are 25% off until Dec 15th! You could also enter a draw over at the blog by post the blinkie like me. Head on over!

This card is one of the card I made for the YouNextStamp site. I had fun working with this lil' guy. Here is how I got those tiny clothes hug out to dry:

1st I stamped the image on the card in just the right spot.

Then! i stamped them on white paper. I dod this do the true color would show when I colored them.

He is a happy clean boy, isn't he!

Supplies: "welcome baby boy set" of stamp {YourNextStamp}, CTMH colored pencils, Washington Apple desighner paper {SU!} Blue and White cardstock.
