A Bowwow, sneak peek from new 2012 Spring/Summer Idea Book

When I was going though the new idea book on pg 83, I came across this cute little stamp called A Bowwow and just knew I had to recreate the card that I had seen in the idea book, I made a couple of changes to mine, but used the same colors and design, this is the cutest stamp. On my card I used faux stitching, and used the NEW ADHESIVE SPRINGS to give him movement, I was so excited to see these in the new idea book, I had alot of fun playing with this card after I had put it together. I hope you like it.

Desk top Display Album Calendar

Next Saturday will be our first workshop of the new year so we will be making these cute little calendars using CTMH My Creations display albums. I want to thank Danica over at the CTMH BB for the template for this. I had some Passages level 2 paper hanging around so I decided to use it for my calendar, these calendars will have pictures on them, I didn't put pictures on this one because am thinking of giving it to someone. I have also discovered that I am a little bit of a paper hoarder so I need to use some of my older papers to get ready for the new papers from the new 2012 Spring/Summer Idea book. I have the new Idea books in and will start mailing them out next week, they go live Feb 1, 2012, those attending the workshop next Saturday will get theirs while there. If you would like a new Idea Book please feel free to shoot me a email at bekah763@aol.com and I will ge one out to you. I hope you like this little calendar. I will list products used at the end of pictures.

Chalkboard and a few things.

When we recieved our new Spring/Summer Idea books there was some pieces of card board that had the center cut out, in the box, I didn't throw them away, I decided I would do something with them and I came up with this little chalk board, I found some chalkboard paint at Michaels and I had some pieces of study card board hanging around so I painted the study piece with the chalkboard paint, its take 3 coats of paint, while that was drying I covered the other piece with my B & T Olivia paper, (what I have left of this paper is now put away for a bit), I pulled out the Art Philosphy cartridge to cut my letters 2.0", roses 2.25" & 3.0" and the little swirls around the roses 2.0". I used a white pen to put faux stitches on my letters. Once my chalkboard paint was dry I put my pieces together using liquid glass, I used my atg gun to hold till liquid glass was set. I hope you like.

Picture Holder with Rock the Block

I never did find that blog again where I saw the little picture holder so this is what I came up with, I hope you like it. This did not take very long to make, I covered all sides of the block with B&T paper, I then used one of our pin clips, pushed into the top, I didn't want it to slip into the box so I used liquid glass on it, I dipped the pin into the liquid glass before pushing it into the cube, I also placed a little around the hole after the pin was in. The dragonflies were cut from the AP cart at 2.25" and layered a couple of times just for some diminsion.

This is the exclusive E-sized stamp set that comes with the Rock the Block.


Here is what I did with mine, I really loved the Olivia papers and I had some extra so I used it to create my blocks. I had 2 blocks left over and I saw on a blog somewhere that the person had made a picture holder out of one of these blocks so I think I am gonna try that. My letters were cut at 2.25" flowers were cut at 3." and 2.50", dragonflies cut at 2.25" and 1.50". I wish my pictures would have came out a little better, but today seems to be my day for not getting along with the electronic things in my home, camera acting up and phone died, had to get new phone. Anyway I hope you like these little cubes of mine.
