First signs of spring — blog candy until April 3!
Happy Sunday!
The first sign that spring is almost here!
Today’s project!
Because of a promise made to a friend, I can only briefly describe how I have been surprised and blessed over the last couple of weeks.
I really love when you are able to let something go and allow the Lord to work in your life and thorough your life. I received an email from an old friend and was so glad that she wanted to be part of my life. Don’t you hate when you loose touch?! I am thankful for her loving letter and her friendship!
On to today’s project. I was bored. That was until the toilet went kablowie. You see when the DH used it this morning the plastic part that raises the valve broke off, so he took the top off and later on I went to use it and gently pulled up on the gasket to flush the toilet when the arm to the fill gasket broke. Now mind you, we had talked about replacing the ‘kit’ for a while now, it just seems that today was that day.
So after all the ‘drama’ of going to the local home improvement center the toilet is again working just fine.
I decided to sit down and get creative. The top project is an altered coaster post it note holder. I used my sizzix machine and cut flowers out of felt. I embellished the wires with different ribbons. I used my bind it all machine for the cutting and binding of the holder. The coasters are stamped with brown ink with the Stamping up French Script set and the edges have been sanded and stippled with the same ink.
For the long note holder, I used the Martha Stewart butterfly, stamped it onto a transparency and cut it out, it is actually a pin and is attached to the ribbon on the front cover. I then stamped random pages with butterflies from another stamp set.
Both projects are a bit time consuming, but worth the effort in the end project.
I hope to do a video tutorial this week on how I use my bind it all to do these great projects.
Have a great night and stamp happy!
