little bird book

I made this little book yesterday while I was playing with my Bind-It-All and a Stampin' Up! set. I always liked that little bird! Made the book with thick chipboard (won't do that again) and papers from a note block. I even put a feather on the front-pretty cute, right?

texas tuesday

I am following a blog called deadbeat designs stamps. I go there everyday just to see what he is up to...very funny guy! He and several of his friends do a posting called texas tuesday and I thought, "I have a lot of Texas themed stamps. I could do this too!" So here I am. You should know that I bought my first five deadbeat design stamps from the Scrapbook Haus. When I got back home, I went to my LSS and suggested she also stock some deadbeat designs Texas stamps for her store, Memory Gardens Scrapbook Shoppe-and she did! So happy about that! (and of course I bought a bucket full...oh, well, there is no hope for me!) Hope you enjoy and visit his link-great fun!

journal

Oh, I do love making these journal books! The little ribbon clasp on the side says "traditions". Matches perfectly with the blue and yellow on the book.

mother's day card

This is a late picture of the Mother's Day card I made for my Mom! Love you, Mom! Sorry I didn't get this up closer to Mother's Day, but life sorta got in my way this week...This was my very first attempt at this type of card. I had a lot of fun making it and it gave me some idea's to try later on. So stay tuned...
