Kids Birthday Cards

I made this card using the cute pig, Piggy Heart from Miss Rach :

Bookmarks

I am a big reader, and making bookmarks is my fave this to make, well after ATC's that is ! LOL 

I have made a number of bookmarks recently, using the awesome images from Vera Lane Studios. They are long and thin - perfect for a bookmark shape, and because they are digital images I can re-size them to whatever works for me. Here I have used the bookmark die from Papertrey Ink.  

I have a variety of mediums, including copics, stamping, acrylic paint, gel pen, india ink etc etc. They have been laminated and ribbon toppers added :

These bookmarks, and more will be sent to friends and also abandoned in various places. I love to abandon artwork, its such a rewarding thing to do. More info at the Artist Network HERE, but also there are other online resources and there is a very active art abandonment facebook group.

The two bookmarks together :

And another I have made features another of the images in the set. This is taking part in a pay-it forward art share at my Facebook group, Craft Chat

At the Movies Bookmark

I am participating in an 'At the Movies' Bookmark trade. Seriously, how much fun is that !  I am a big reader, so for me they had to be functional, and of course a little witty :)

So here they are :) Doesn't everyone love Ryan Gosling in all of these 'Hey Girl sketches ? And even better, did you know he is Canadian ? 

 The photos are printed on my printer and fussy cut, and then I marked in pencil where I wanted to put them on the heart patterned paper. I typed on my typewriter, then glued it all together. I laminated them so they will be durable. They are not overly fancy, or layered but they are witty, colorful and will bring a smile to your face as you sit down, open your book to the page they are marking :)  They will endeavor do their very best 'book marking' job. Hope the recipients like them .....

Accompanying the bookmarks, which I mailed yesterday (rubbing hands together with excited glee), are a couple of tags I made with Viva Las Vegas Stamps :
