I was inspired today to create some new bookmarks. I used large craft sticks (tongue depressors) and covered them using Zip Dry Paper Glue in the Maggie Cardstock Collection from The Angel Company. I used the Crop-a-dile to punch a hole in one end for the rhinestone brads. They turned out super cute.

Back Pack Tags from Kandy's Keepsakes
I made these back pack tags for the boys in my daughter’s pre-school class. They started out as laminate counter top samples. I came across a bunch that were just going to be thrown away. So I sat down and decided to make these…
They measure 2 x 3 inches. I cut coordinating scrapbook paper to the proper size and adhered them with Quick Dry paper glue. I trimmed around the corners with scissors and used a sanding block to remove any uneven edges. I used walnut ink around each edge of the tag to give it a finished edge. Once the walnut ink was dry I applied the star and nascar or Spiderman stickers. I stamped each child’s name on vanilla cardstock and dragged the edges of the cardstock in red ink and adhered them to the tag. Next I added the binder ring and lastly added the ribbon for decoration.

I made this card today using the stamp set The Renaissance* from the Angel Company. I stamped the rose image on vanilla cardstock and colored it in with Prismacolor colored pencils. (The absolute best colored pencils.) Then I cut it out, layered it on patterned cardstock from K and Company. I stamped the image once more, colored it and cut out just the rose blossom. I adhered it with Pop Dots over the original rose to give the card some added dimension.
It’s a lovely card that can be used for a variety of occasions… birthdays, thinking of you, thank you, just because.

Here is another “make and take” from The Angel Company. It is a most simple project. It is basically made with cardstock scraps. The base is made using the Reece 12×12 Cardstock Collection and the Reece Cardstock. The green base measures 3-3/8 x 4 inches and is edged with Sea Breeze Versamagic Ink. The icy blue layer measures 2-3/4 x 3-1/2 inches. The Reece patterned piece measures 3-7/8 x 2 inches. (Layer and adhere according to picture.) I stamped the image from Victorian Elements on a manila shipping tag (measuring 3-1/8 x 2-3/8 inches) using Sea Breeze Versamagic Ink. Then I stamped the the quote from Be Happiness using Noir Palette Ink directly on top of the stamped ornamental image. I threaded wire through the button holes and the flower and attached it to the tag using glue dots. The tag was then adhered to the base layers. Finally, a self-adhesive magnet strip was added to the back.

It has been over a week since I’ve been able to find the time to create. 😦 I’ve been itching to get into the paper, inks and glues. Alas, I’ve had other obligations. So this afternoon I sat down to relax and create. This is another journal made out of half of a composition book.
I can’t get enough of these journals. They are perfectly sized… approximately 7-1/2 x 5 inches… not too big and not too small. They fit perfectly in your purse or backpack. It is super easy to make. I cut the cardstock to size and paste it to the outside and inside covers with YES paste. I used a fine sanding block to remove any paper or glue residue from the cover’s edges once the paste has dried. (I usually let mine set a couple of hours.) I then dragged the edges in Charcoal Palette ink to cover any imperfections. I wrapped the gold organdy ribbon around the cover twice and tied it in a bow. I stamped the three words on the front cover in Noir Palette ink. That’s it… super easy!
