Could not Resist...

to case this awesome creation by Christine, who happens to be one talented sistah I tell ya !! I was in Bella land yesterday to visit Em, who I haven't seen in ages and I missed her. When I was there I saw Christine in action,  teaching a class of very dedicated and enthusiastic students, and my jaw dropped at how gorgeous each and every person was coloring there images !

Here is my take on Uptown Girl Ava Loves to Celebrate bookmark, who happens to be going to my daughter who LOVES to read and can't seem to get enough book marks :D.  I tried to not case it 100% so I think my Purple is a bit darker with pinkish shading and my cake is more Chocolatey and creamy :D

 

 When you take a close look at the BM, you will notice a line coming down on the right side and that is because I tried to laminate this by using thick packing tape.  As you can see I did not do a really good job of it and it bubbled on me and also it was not as wide as the paper so I had to layer the tape. This is my first  time  laminating with tape, so practise makes perfect I always say !!

Don't forget to email your card to Emily today for this weeks challenge which was a shower card.

Hope to see you tomorrow !!

Magnetic Bookmark Part 1

I have a really fun and enjoyable video to share with all you crafters out there and it is called a magnetic bookmark. This is something you can create in minutes and the final outcome is so cute. This can even be a fun project that you can create with your kids for them and there school friends and teachers. I will be posting another video on how to make a magnetic bookmark but this time it will be with the Wild Card Cartridge so look forward to that one if you are a cricut lover.

I have more fun projects in line for you so keep checking back. I hope you enjoy this video and thanks for dropping by to My Scrapbook and Craft Journal.

Double Sided Bookmark

Another Bookmark - Love It

I love bookmarks and I never will get tired of making them. I love this stamp set of Tim Holtz. He is truly a gifted artist. His stamp sets are like no other, they all have such a vintage feel and look to them. I use this bookmark for my personal journal.

Abimin Dogum Gunu Karti / My brothers B-day Card

Here is a card and bookmark I made for my brother. We live apart from each other and I miss him so bad that it really hurts me inside. Being far away from your family is one of the hardest things in life. I really like the way his card turned out and I hope you enjoy it as well.

Book Mark Sunday

I just love making book marks.  The one I made with Charlette Ketto before has found a new home so I had to make another one.  Then my daughter say's to me " can you make a special bookmark for me to mommy". So, I made one for her and one for me.  

Yes, I was at Stamping bella again this weekend and had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Bella herself (Emily).  She is truly a very kind lady who touched my daughters heart in a very special way and for that I thank her very much.   Pinar, with her own allowance bought Ginger Ketto. Emily noticing that was very touched that she spent her own money to buy one of her stamps so she treated Pinar to a pebble stone embellishment. You should have seen her face light up when Emily introduced herself as Ms.Bella. She replied back by saying " really" like meeting one of her idols for the first time, it was very nice to see. If only I lived near by, I would probably visit the store everyday :o)

Due to all my crafting, I have neglected the family just a little bit, so to make it up to them I made a really nice Eggplant dish very much like musakka, some pasta and BBQ'd chicken and fish. We are having feast tonight :o)

Today is a big day for me !! my husband bought the Sony, HD camcorder. I can't wait to start making little tutorials and posting them up on my blog.  I have hundreds of ideas dancing in my head.  I will be venturing into the video word as well.  Like I had mentioned before I have an apple laptap and with that I have the Imovie which I have no clue how to use yet. This is where my sister Lori comes in to play.  She is the Queen of all Queens when it come to imovie so I asked her if she can tutor me on it.  So it looks like it will be quite a while before I have my craft videos up on my blog.  Well that's all  for today... Hope you liked my bookmarks.

My Book Mark

We went to Stamping Bella yesterday and I picked up a few stamps.  This particular one is called Charlotte Ketto, I needed a bookmark so I made one.  Isn't she just lovely...
