STAMPlorations Tutorial~ Fun with Smooshing!

Good afternoon crafty friends, I'm over on the STAMPlorations blog today with a fun tutorial for a Bookmark using the "Smooshing" Technique. 

I've laminated it to make it durable so it holds up to my book travels. ;o)

  
You can catch the full step-by-step tutorial here.  

 

Sweet Friends!

Happy Sunday everyone! 

It's time for a new challenge over at Crafting When We Can Challenges!!!

Our theme this challenge is:

FRIENDSHIP

Our lovely sponsor this challenge is

 Prize: $20 Gift Certificate

I used One Small Gelato Please! and Say Cheese!:

For this card, I used CS from American Crafts and DP's from Recollections. Dies are from Spellbinders  and Sentiment is from Crafter's Companion. I paper Pierced the Base card and faux stitched it  with Purple Gelly Roll. Ribbon is from my stash.

I colored the image with SN markers:

I added Liquid Pearls in the Centers of the flowers in their hair and Glossy accents on their Glasses for texture. 

For the bookmark, I used Kraft CS from Recollections. I used Liquid pearls on the ice cream and Corners.

I used Fishtails die on my MSWord Sentiment and pearls on the back of the card. Finished it off with Purple Mesh Ribbon. 

I colored the image with Pencils. 

I sure hope you can join us this challenge and be sure to check out the "Friendly" Creations from my Teamies for more inspiration. ;o)

We have been waiting for this hop, and season change, for some time now!

Birds are singing, kids are riding bikes around the neighborhood, pollen has covered everything, 

bees are busy buzzing around newly bloomed flowers  ... SPRING IS HERE! 

I just love these adorable Daffodil  and Daisy images! I used Daffodil Daisy- Perfect for Spring!

With mother's day coming I went with making my mom a Bookmark- this image actually reminds me of her gardening with her floppy hat except she has dogs and Pink Rain Boots. lol. She also loves sitting outside reading so I combined 2 of her hobbies into this little creation.

The CS and Ribbon are from American Crafts and DP's are DCWV. The sentiment is embossed on the back, but it hard to see in this picture. :(

It's a Great Impressions Sentiment about having a flower for every time she's made me laugh and smile, I'd have a garden to walk in forever. Awwww! lol!

I colored this fabulous image with SN Markers and White Gellyroll for the print on her dress:
