Hello Friends and Happy TGIF! I hope you are all looking forward to a wonderful weekend! Today I like to show you my BnW DT project for this week, a little moleskin cahier notebook I made or I should better say altered/decorated. I stamped right onto the kraft cover and colored using Prisma pencils, a Prisma  pencil blender  and  a dry paper stump. This is for me the best method to color on kraft card stock and blend the colors nicely. The stamp I used is from the new Belles 'n Whistles SweetArt Girls collection and is called 'Here Kitty Kitty' . Sentiment is a clear stamp from my stash and I used only a matching ribbon for decoration. This little notebook has just the right size to fit in a purse. That's why I did not use any bulky embellishments and kept it clean and simple! Just a little Stickles Stardust (my absolute favorite!) for some sparkle. Also please don't forget joining in our on going sketch challenge over at the BnW Challenge Blog ! Looking

Anki came up with a fantastic sketch: And this is my take on the sketch I used this image from the new Fairy Friends Collection called 'Fairy Dance' .

Hello everyone and a very Happy Birthday to my hubby! :-D This is a scheduled posting and when you are reading this we are all in the middle of celebrating big! And this image, also called 'Celebrate Big' , from Crissy's collection at Whimsy Stamps was perfect for one of the cards I made for him ;-)  This time I colored on kraft cardstock using Prisma pencils. To blend the colors I used dry paper stumps. DP is from Basic Grey's Marakech collection. Both the Calendar stamp and the Birthday Seal sentiment are from Whimsy Stamps as well. As it is a 'men's card' I just used a few buttons, twine and a large flower for decorations. Here's a close-up on the image Thanks for taking the time and visiting me here today!
