I can see clearly now....

Our challenge for this month was to use acetate.  I chose to use beach images and make a bookmark.  What's more fun than opening a book so see a fabulous bookmark inside. 

I used Seahorse stamp (993QCL) and the Scallop Shell (637c).  I stamped the images on acetate with brown stazon, I then rounded the corners of the acetate pieces, and then tied them all together with hemp.  I added a hemp tassel on the top and added some beachy colored beads. 

This project was super simple to put together and came out looking great.  How long has is been since you've used acetate?  Why not give it a try....Mary has it on sale in the shop here ACETATE!  It's half the price of the kind at the office store and you can get 10 sheets instead of 100!

Mother's Day!

Our Challenge for this month is to create something for Mother's Day that included a dimensional flower.  I chose to make a pin. This is a play on when I was little and I remember all the moms having corsages on Mother's Day at church.  I used the Mom stamp (822D).

I used felt and my sizzix to cut out flowers. I then stacked all sizes together and attached them together with a brad.  I glued a pin back on.  Then I took a small piece of cream cardstock and stamped Mom on it.  I then corner punched it and added some lines and inking around the edge.   It would be super easy to remove the mom and use the pin as a hair bow, or purse decoration as well.
