Magical Bookmarks

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you a couple of bookmarks made using the Apple for Teacher freebie combined with Magical Library (reminds me of Harry Potter) from Conjurer of Dreams for the bookmark challenge in the Facebook Inspiration Group.    

I started out by combining the images in Photoshop© before printing onto Neenah white card stock.  Taking a couple of plastic bookmark sleeves I had ordered 20yrs ago, and haven't finished using, I measured the size I would need to trim down my bookmarks before layering.  I then added some star sequins from Picket Fence Studios before highlighting parts of the lamps, and images, using ice stickles.  Once they had dried, I added them to the sleeves, punched a hole and added some blue/green fibers I've had for years.  Quick, easy and so cool - in my opinion.  I'll be giving one to my daughter, and the other to a friend, who both LOVE reading books...real books not just digital ones.

Recycled Alabaster Box

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you a recycled Hills Bros. Cappuccino French Vanilla coffee container that I turned into an Alabaster box (to keep money in for our church's missions program) using packing from a Chewy order and some wood block stamps I received last year from a friend who had to downsize her stamp collection while moving across the county.  

I started out by adhering the paper packing to my coffee container using 5/8" Scor-Tape.  I then stamped my church image (Design Objectives) and both sayings (Believe - Hero Arts) (John 3:16 Printworks) onto scrap vanilla card stock in memento tuxedo black before coloring the church using copic markers.  Once the coloring was finished, I stippled Tim Holtz stormy sky lightly around the church using my Picket Fence blending brushes before layering it, and my John 3:16 panel, to scrap espresso card stock before adding copper brads to both.  I then adhered both panels to the coffee container using glue dots.  I now die cut two crosses using a Spellbinders Shapeability Cross die I've had for years and only used once or twice.  After adhering the crosses to the side panels using mini glue dots, I added copper ice stickles to the adhered crosses as my final embellishment.  I then cut a slit for the money in the plastic top of my new alabaster box to finish it up.  I've included pictures of all four sides:

both of the cross side panels are identical

Jonah

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you a journaling page I did a couple weeks ago in my bible.  Pastor's message that week was on the book of Jonah and after church, I was inspired to use stamps from Picket Fence Studios to create this bible journaling page (which I'm fairly new to).

 

I started out by stamping the whale/jellyfish/squid from Schools of Fish (retired) in memento tuxedo black ink before coloring it using my Castle Arts pencils.  Once my coloring was finished,I stamped the silhouette fish also in black before stamping the coral and sea ferns from A Dose Of Vitamin Sea in various memento inks before blending some tumbled glass and broken china distress inks to create my ocean water.
