Things in my personal life have been a little hectic lately. My parents are aging with grace, and they're now requiring a bit more time and attention. For this reason, my hubby and I have been taking turns flying back and forth to Minnesota to spend time with them until we figure out a more permanent solution for their living situation. Needless to say, it's been stressful. But PRAISE GOD, I know that He is in control and will see us through this chapter in our lives as He always does. Today I'm sharing a sweet bookmark (yes, it's an extra fluffy bookmark. lol) that showcases a few fabulous products from Stamp Simply.
I started with black cardstock and layered that with patterned papers from Carta Bella's Autumn 6x6 Paper Pad. I machine stitched them together. The top layer is basic white cardstock that I inked and stencilled using an older Tim Holtz Leaf Stencil and Oxide Inks. The scripture I used is from the Give Thanks Stamp Set. The cute pumpkin is from the Welcome Fall Stamp Set. I colored it and cut it with the Welcome Fall Dies. The little sprigs sticking out of the pumpkin were cut using the Sprigs Dies.
OK.....that bow. Right? I went a little extra with the topper on this fancy bookmark. I included some 1.5" Cluny Ivory Lace, Orange Seam Binding, Ivory Burlap String, and several other random trims from my stash. It's really just a fun bow that I thought would look cute sticking out of the top of a book. There are so many great stamps, stencils and products waiting for you at Stamp Simply, and we look forward to having you visit the Stamp Simply Blog for lots of great inspiration.
Have a great week, everyone. It's always nice to have you visit me here, and I appreciate your thoughts and input. Take some time to play along in a few fun challenges and take a moment or two to stop by Stamp Simply to treat yourself to something new and beautiful.
Blessings,
Karen
