Bookmarks Galore!

Happy Sunday!  Today, I happen to have a theme--baptisms and bookmarks!  Today, we had the awesome experience of witnessing three good friends being baptized and professing their commitment to God.  I wanted to give each of the girls a little memento of their special day, so decided to make some bookmarks for their bibles commemorating the date.  Here is what I came up with:

 Nothing overly fancy, just a great way to always remember this occasion.  I really did want to include the date, so I got out the November 2011 Stamp of the Month, Cherish the Day.  The stamp set perfectly captures my sentiments. 

I also used the following CTMH products: 
White Daisy cardstock
Dotty for You Paper Pack
Smoothie, Black, and Sweet Leaf Inks
Paradise Assortment Baker's Twine
White Daisy bitty brad
Just Blooms Paradise Paper Shapes
Trinity Alphabet (how appropriate!)  ;)

Sooooooo...it is also my niece's baptism birthday tomorrow!  I made her a bookmark as well.  I think these are a useful gift, and something easy to send in the mail with a card. 

CTMH Products Used:
Colonial White and Lagoon Cardstock
Pear, Lagoon, and Outdoor Denim Inks
You Are...the April 2012 Stamp of the Month
E1025 the Rock the Block My Acrylix stamp set
Paradise Assortment Baker's Twine
Glitter Glitz

May God bless you all in your baptisms today, and happy baptism birthday, Abbie!

Happy Day before Valentine's Day! Ready?

Or not...here it comes!  I took my kiddos class treat bags in today so they are all set for tomorrow's parties.  Here is the finished product!

This first pic is the little sucker guy that I found on Pinterest.  Here is the origination of that pin: http://zakkalife.blogspot.com/2011/02/its-bird-its-plane-its-super-valentine.html  I love it!  I made my own cut file on CCR for his cape and mask.  I put one these in each bag along with various treats and such.

 Here are the bag toppers.  I used papers from CTMH Sweetheart collection:

 A shot of them from behind so you can see the hearts on the trim.

 Used the CTMH stamp of the month set for November for these tags.

 And WALLA!  The finished product!

More later!
