Corner bookmark "When Life Gives You Lemons"

Corner Bookmark Tutorial
Card stock 4x4"for base of bookmark
Card stock or printed paper of choice 2&3/4"x2&3/4"
Card stock or stamping paper for embellishment stamping
Printed/designer paper of choice. For embelishment
Ribbon or your choice of embelishment
Pop dots or foam tape (optional)
Adhesive
Border punch or die cut edge of choice (optional)

1. Mark card stock base at 2inches on 3 sides. Score between marks to make a V fold.
2. Cut 2 3/4" cs diagonally to make two triangles. One triangle will be adhered to back of V fold flaps to make pocket for pages to slide into.
3. Embellish as desired.
4. If you are adding ribbon, you may want to add a strip of paper to the back of bookmark to cover ribbon so it doesn't get caught in pages of book.

Tips: for the ease of the books, you want to keep these as thin as possible so you don't damage any books by having thick bookmarks stuck between them adding stress to the spine.

Fathers Day STAR Card exclusively CTMH!!

IMG_5060IMG_5049

I did not realize I have not added a Happy Fathers Day Stamp to my collection yet so I really had to do some fast creative thinking to make my Card Chatter stamps work for a Fathers Day Card, since I decided to procrastinate until Saturday afternoon to start a card for my dear daughter to give to such a wonderful Dad, who is definitely a STAR in her eyes & mine.

Freshly Picked Seed Packets




Mini Seed packets made in honor of Earth Day for the Cricut Circle Crop I went to in late April when they came to Kansas City.  I ended up giving it to Shannon the totally cool host from Cricut that couldn't quit doting over them and how cute they were, and since I didn't make enough for everyone, Shannon was the Lucky one who took them home and showed them off at the Cricut Office in Utah and said they were a BIG hit with everyone.
