Playing with my Wordbirds

Good afternoon! Hope your Sunday has been as pleasant as mine! Just church and relaxation....red beans and rice simmering in a big pot on the stove and the kids happy voices ringing through the house as they enjoy the last few hours of play time before getting ready for school tomorrow. Sigh...deep breath...life is sweet! ;D

We are all finally on the mend and feeling better after a tough 3 weeks of assorted tummy viruses and other unpleasant things. I appreciate so much those of you who checked up on me and I wuv you for it! ;D

I have a lot of my Wordbird stuff to get your opinion on in the next few days as well as some fun digital images from Isabellas Sketchbook  that I've really been enjoying playing with the last week or so! I'm so happy the sweet and talented Linda Payne invited me to check them out!

Sorry to get so wordy! Here are some sets I've been working on...

I have been making these sweet little sets. The cards are a set of 5. There is  a junior size notepad and a skinny notepad (which is a junior cut in half...the office supply store will do this for a small fee).

I have seen these covered notepads everywhere in the cyber crafting world (smile) and now that I have begun making them  I can't quit...I'm addicted!!  ;D

I did make my own templates for the note pad covers (I will refine them and share them with you if you'd like!) I wanted pockets in mine and made them a little sturdier than some of the templates I've seen on line. The oval "note" stamps are by Gina K Designs. The dp papers are by DCWV. The Wordbird papers and digi stamps are my own creation.

Here is another color...

YUMMY! I just loooove pink and chocolate brown together.

Here we have the card set, the skinny notepad, two styles of post-it note pads and gift bag. The bottom post-it holder is made from a 3 1/2 x 5 acrylic picture frame. So much fun to make! And so quick and easy!

Now for all of my Stamp TV friends... The cool thing is I scanned my favorite Gina K card stock colors and found matching color numbers in photoshop elements. I can now color coordinate my Wordbird doodles and digi papers to my beloved Gina K pure luxury card stock. Yay! 

Speaking of card stock...please use a very heavy weight card stock when making your notepad covers...they make up easier and more accurately and they will hold up longer. The Pure Luxury card stock is 120 lb and just fabulous for 3-D type projects. 

Off to get some pics of the Isabellas Sketchbook projects I spoke of earlier. 

     Thanks for visiting!
