Homemade Stamp Christmas Card TLC237


This card is for Splitcoaststampers Technique Lovers Challenge (TLC237), to make your own stamp with fun foam. I had these fun foam shapes hanging around for my grand-daughter to use, so ran a tree through the cuttlebug with the script folder and stamped it on white cs, cut it out and mounted it on pop-dots for dimension. tfl

An Angel To Watch Over Mom LSC236


This (SCS Limited Supplies challenge (LSC236)), to use a 4" X 1 1/2" scrap) was a great challenge for me today. I bought this beautiful charm to make a bookmark for my dear mother-in-law, and this worked perfectly for that. It has magnets inside to help hold it in place in her book. The angel image is digital from Dover Publishers, and I colored it with watercolor pencils and Stickles. tfl
