Cute Corner Bookmark ~ Fanfare Paper, Scallop Circle Punch, Liquid Glass, & Pair-A-Phase Stamp Set ~ So Cute You're Going To Want It!!

I thought I would share the corner bookmark I made today...for my gathering I am having tomorrow. I wanted to make something fast and easy...but would make a cute gift to give someone that you wanted a little something for. I love to read...almost as much as scrapbooking...making these cute corner bookmarks...puts the 2 things I love to do sort-of together. Makes it a win-win in my book (no pun intended). I used the "Fanfare" paper, Black and Pacifica stamp pads, a few different color markers  , the 2" Scallop Circle Punch (Z1392), Liquid Glass (Z679), and the "Pair-A-Phase" Special Stamp Set (look at my earlier post about the August Specials for all the details!). I think the bookmark came out cute! If you want more info. on how to make them let me know! And, go to my website if you want to make your own bookmarks...order today!

Quote Book ~ Quotes To Add To Your Book

I thought I would do the quotes today to add to your quote book...

~"Cousins by blood- friends by choice."

~"A best friend is a sister destiny forgot to give you."  

~"A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out."

~"Cousins are friends that will love you forever."    

~"A friend is someone who reaches for your hand...and touches your heart."

I thought I would share some "friendship" type quotes today. Since I sorted and organized my photos I realized I have a bunch of cousin / friendship type photos. I figured since they will be getting scrapbooked (at some point) I should get some quotes for those pages. So, here they are! Anyway, don't forget to stop back again for more quotes next week...and I wanted to add...no idea who or where I got these quotes...I've been saving them to use for my scrapbook pages / cards. So enjoy the quotes!

Tutorial ~ Trees & Things Stamp Set & My Creations Journal ~ Make a Fun Journal!

I thought I would share the tutorial that Close To My Heart put on youtube to show you some fun stamping techniques you can do with the stamp set "Trees & Things (D1467). This set is in the last catalog (Spring/Summer 2011). The reason I thought I would share this video is because...you might not realize you can still order stamp sets from the last catalog...and there are a few really good ideas here. Incase you didn't know about still being able to order the stamps...there are alot of really fun sets that are still available for you to buy. After you watch this video you are going to want to buy this cute set.

Quote Book ~ Quotes To Add To Your Book

I thought I would do the quotes today to add to your quote book...

~"The world is mud-luscious and puddle-wonderful."

~"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain!"  

~"Sweet April showers do spring May flowers."

~"G-d made rainy days so gardeners could get the housework done."    

~"Rainbows apologize for angry skies."

I thought I would share some "Rain" type quotes today. We haven't had rain in...I don't even remember when it really rained, it's been that long. So, I pulled some really cute photos of my son playing in the rain from a few years ago. He loves when it rains and only wants to go outside and play. It's like a special treat. I thought with this "no rain" that if I scrapbook these photos maybe it will remind the Rain G-ds to give us a little. Anyway, don't forget to stop back again for more quotes next week...and I wanted to add...no idea who or where I got these quotes...I've been saving them to use for my scrapbook pages / cards. So enjoy the quotes!
