Lifetime Journey

Hello all of you fabulous crafters in blogland!

Can you believe it's the middle of April already, the days are warming up to those spring like temperatures, Finally. ( Happy dance) Today was gorgeous out, the birds was singing, the bunnies was out in the yard filling up their tummies. It doesn't get any better than this. (happy face) Our 2 little dogs played with the frisbee, the littlest one can't ever get enough. I think she would fetch that frisbee in her sleep. LOL

  

Here's another card I created for Heartfelt Creations.I was going through some embossing folders I borrowed from a good friend and thought this one was the perfect fit for this card. Actually this folder would work with any one of these stamps in this set.

Floral Clock Tag

Hello all of you fabulous crafters in blogland!

This bookmark was made using the plastic that the Spellbinders come in. Created for Heartfelt Creations.

I have been saving the plastic shells from the Spellbinders for some time now. In most cases with the plastics that the grands come in, I put my cling stamps on them. I use a paper punch to get those 3 perfect holes and place them in notebooks. Can't beat the sturdiness.

Let me tell you what I used to make this bookmark and how it was put together.
