MOJO Monday 344 ~ Sweet Friend

Happy Wednesday!

This week's sketch over at MOJO Monday really spoke to me. Although many of you know that I just adore anything with flowers, you may not know that I also love geometrical shapes! Perhaps that explains why I enjoy cutting paper so much! So here I was able to combine the two elements in this week's sketch challenge. And, I also have all four packages of the collections of designer papers, so I will be utilizing them more in my projects.

Hope that you like what I came up with. The recipe is as follows:

Stamps: You are Loved (reired)
Ink: Early Espresso
Paper: Very Vanilla, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake
Tools: Scallop Label Punch, Corner Rounder Punch
Embellishments: Dark Brown Satin Ribbon (non-SU), Hat Pins (retired SU), dimensionals

Enjoy your week and have fun Stamping and Crafting!

May Creative Crew Gallery Challenge

Since the beginning of this year, I have been participating in the Creative Chew Challenges over on Splitcoaststampers.

For the month of May, for this project, I used one of my favorite designer papers, Watercolor Wonder, which is covered in roses and some of my other favorite items. It is so much fun to make one of these...I am thinking of making more as little gifts. The funny part about making this is collecting the toilet tissue tubes around the house!

 

This is Julie Griffith's idea of a toilet tissue tube book.

Happy Stamping!
