yikes! it's a card!

OK it's just a birthday card, BUT it's pretty cute, right? Trying to remember to post things I make before I send them out or give them away. I'm working on it...

i'm a fan...

of Tom Holtz' new dies! I love this one-Caged Bird! Again I used the Mirabella paper from The Paper Studio and cut my letters from the Cricut cartridge "Don Juan". I just noticed that the ribbon on top fell over when I took this pic. Too bad, it is the same as the bird-green gingham. (I think I have a serious addiction to Tim Holtz-I love all his crafty stuff!!) The cage is painted with Tim Holtz Rock Candy Clear Crackle Paint.

couldn't go too long...

without playing with another journal! This one is also covered in the Mirabella paper from The Paper Studio. The letters were cut with the Cricut (Don Juan) cartridge. Not sure I'm done with this one...

a different little book

I love this! I bought this book (album, actually) at Tuesday Morning! I think I paid a $1 for it. It was an ugly teal and black color. I re-covered it with Mirabella paper from The Paper Studio. Love that paper-so vintage! The ribbon is from Basic Gray. I'll be posting another one of these later this month.

did someone say "re-purpose"?

I was going to throw these little containers out, but then while I was contemplating how cute they were (and eating my Jelly Belly's) I had a thought! The clear pillow container had ribbon in it and the other had pins in it. I will tell you that the one on the right has an easy open back on it-and the "jellies" change daily!
