It's Ben's Birthday...

...so I have lots to do around here to get ready for the family festivities tonight. As a result, this is going to be a pretty quick post...

First, I have his birthday card to share. I used this week's MojoMonday sketch (#79) to create this card.

I don't usually decorate the insides of cards, but this one seemed to need it...

Supplies used:
*Unity Stamp Co. Birthday Chic
*American Crafts paper (scalloped green)
*MME paper (paisley and solid green)
*Fresh Paint paper (turquoise)
*MM copper brads
*ribbon
*Memories inkpad

I am doing a bit of work for Unity over on the new Addicted to Rubber Stamping website. Did you realize that they had blogs and a message board over there? I didn't either. They are just getting going, but there are some fun possibilities there as a community! Come check it out!

But someone was asking for ideas using shrinky dinks so I made this super fun and easy bookmark using a shrinky dink and my Unity Wish Sticks.

To Make:

1. Simply stamp your image (this image is from the Wish kit from Unity Stamp Co.) on the shrinky dink "stuff" with StazOn (I also added some watercolors for an interesting effect).
2. Punch it into a shape (for mine I used my nestabilities in my cuttlebug)
3. Punch a 1/4" hole into top for ribbon.j
4. Shrink using heat gun.
5. Thread ribbon through, adding beads at the top.
6. Tie a knot in the top so that you can slide your two ribbon halves around your pages in your book.

Supplies used:

*Unity Stamp Co. Wish Sticks
*White Shrinky Dink material
*StazOn
*watercolors
*beads
*ribbon
*Scalloped Oval Nestabilities
*Cuttlebug
*1/4" hole punch

I hope that you are having a fabulous Tuesday!!!
