Hiya sistahs! Long time no speak! Well, I am slowly seeing the light and trying to grab stolen moments to get back into the blog, and creating without paint LOL
would love to see your creations too!
So I took our LIFE IS GOOD stamp by Diane Duda.. I just LOVE this stamp.. makes me happy 🙂 and sometimes we all need a little reminder
First I got a new AGENDA/PLANNER.. don’t roll your eyes ok? I LOOOVE this one so much and will get into a post on that one too.. but to give you a little taste, you can look at it here.. it’s called THE SUCCESS CHOICE.. LOVE. but more on that later n’k?
I wanted to create a first page in there that would just remind me of the simple things.. of how life IS good and to keep remembering that. So every time I open my binder.. this is what I see 🙂 I can collage on it, I can write notes on it.. or I can just leave it as is and let it do it’s work and relate it’s message to me
Then I took it a bit further and decided to dabble with what I would give my kid’s teachers this year as gifts.. and I thought little note cards would be so perfect! We can decorate with our stash of washi tape.. we can go to the dollar store and buy a cute binder clip and clip them together… add envelopes.. no envelopes..whatever tickles your fancy :). What I also love to do is use parts of the image.. you don’t need the whole thing stamped.. or stamp different angles or portions of the stamp to make a cute little set!
Here’s a closeup of the coloured image… and next I will show you what tools I used 🙂 ready?
Fun no? Do you like these types of posts? I can do more ya know.. just let me know!
Also don’t forget about BELLARIFIC FRIDAY TOMORROW! Hope to see your creations!
Oh and I couldn’t resist this little funny.. My friend sent it to me this morning and I thought I would share 🙂
ENJOY
and Mwah to da sistahs who NEED to go BUY art supplies now 🙂
Where do I find the citrus thinner?
Hi Donna,
I found it at the art supplies store.. DESERRES in Canada.. or Curry’s.. it should be pretty much available at these stores.. hope it helps
where did you get those pencils?
ps i at elunch already so now i needs to find me a skinny
erson to snack on.
LOL.. mary.. skinny people are just for MEALS…skinny kids could be a snack.. you could have mine.
Got the pencils online.. i think Ebay.. it’s hard to find Caran D’ache here… Deserres may have some sort of good caran dache pencil me thinks.
thanks pal. i will chew on C later..
I’m almost out of gamsol. Wish I lived closer to a Curry’s! Nice post. I like gathering information and ideas.
You make me laugh Emily! That cartoon at the end is really funny and life IS good, isn’t it? 🙂
Yes please more post like this Em! Love the stamp you have used and the little note cards would make an ideal teacher gift. Liking your new blending solution!
