And now for my projects....

I decided to make some back to school bookmarks for my 5 grandkids.
Today I am sharing the 2 bookmarks I made for my 2 grandsons.

For this first one I used All Star Sports.
In the past, a few of my teammates have creating
backgrounds using multiple stamps, so I though
I would give it a try.  The soccer ball is from Miss Kate's Cuttable's
Papers are from Doodlebug

For this last one, I used Gotta Wear Shades

I just love these adorable bears!!  I used

the free SVG files to cut out the bear

and the background for the sentiment.

I added some color to my bear using chalk

and even gave him a little bit of a sunburn!!

Papers used on this one are from Echo Park

I tried to make these all super simple and

not bulky.  It was really hard for me to resist

using foam dots to pop up the images!!

 

Next up on the Line Up is guest designer Ilda.
 Winners will be picked from a different blog each day,
so the more you comment the more chances you have to win.

And now for my projects....

I decided to make some back to school bookmarks for my 5 grandkids.
The first 3 are for my granddaughters.  For each bookmark
I used both a sentiment and an image for the new stamps.

For this first one I used School Zone.
I paper pieced the apple and worm.

For this one I used Blooming for You.

I used the free SVG file for both the sentiment

and the bear, I even created an offset.

I paper pieced the flowers and the bears muzzle.

For this last one, I used the super sweet Freebie stamp

everyone will receive with a minimum order of 2 stamps sets.

I stamped the bear on watercolor paper and used

watercolor pencils and a water brush to color him in.

All paper used on all 3 bookmarks is Doodlebug.

Stop back tomorrow to see the bookmarks I made for my grandsons!

My sweet softball player is from Miss Kate's Cuttables

and for my background, I used one of the Geometric Card Essentials

 from My Scrap Chick, I just added the stitching to

make them look like baseballs!!

Of course the face is from Peachy Keen's

 The Moodies Face Assortment

 

Here is a close up of the sentiment on the front of my card.

I actually asked Tara if she could add a sentiment for

Softball players on this set, so glad she did :)

For the inside of my card, I used

Bring on the Cake, All Star Sports and Sugar and Spice

to create my sentiment.  Love how you can mix

and match to create a custom sentiment :)
