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

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.

 Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Copics, Adirondack Alcohol Inks Raisin, Meadow, Copper
 Accessories: Spellbinders Sprightly Sprockets, Glue Dots, Star Dust Stickles, Ribbon, Fibers, Sizzix Embossing Folder, Crop-a-dile.

Instructions: Cut acetate 6" x 2 1/2" and emboss. Cut off corners of tag, find the perfect label for your tag from the beautiful pattern paper and punch hole with Crop-a-dile. Ink up cotton applicators and do a hit and miss with all three colors on the plastic tag. Next die cut gears from chipboard, color with 3D paint and I used glue dots to adhere them. Stamp clock image, color and cut out, glue dot it into place as well. Now you can add your ribbon, fibers and bow. Wha-la you have it.
