AKA STampin STressaway

Asian Artistry finished my little book with a card

hello to y'all my blogging friends

sooooooooooooo today I have a really unique little story to share with you!

But first I want to give an introduction to what I did this morning okay!

As you know yesterday I started an asian little note book, and I said I was going to finish it today!

So I did that and I also did a matching card with this little book - I used

Just Add Ink Challenge 

I used the same colours as my book!

But first I want to share this with you!

----------------------------

I want to chat a little about Darrell - those of you who follow my blog, you know that Darrell is a close family friend who is also my son Evan's Godfather

this Darrell

This is from left to right Evan, Darrell ans Rex

ssssssssssssoooooooooooooo now that you have officially met Darrell I have such a special little story to share with you

Darrell phoned me about 6 weeks asking me to help him create a birthday card for his mom!

Sooooooooooooo we spent 8 hours creating the most amazing card for his mom, needless to say he has caught the stampin BUG he he

so Darrell has now started to stamp and has come to my stampin class!

on Sunday when he came to class he presented me with the most precious card!

HE MADE this card for ME!

Take a look

 
so I created my last two projects kinda casing 

my Stampin friend Darrell (along with his mom Annette who helped Darrell create this amazing beautiful card)

isn't it just so cool!

look at the inside!

So super precious and I am just so touched!

I just had to share this special little story with you!

-------------------

onto finishing my  projects

I am running out time this morning............. so the tutorial on how to make the little beads will be tomorrow!

Sorry about that!

But anyways I created BEADS with Scrap Paper............ can you beleive it??

and made my card ofcourse!

okay here's the card I did

so this is the background I created yesterday

which I will use on my card today!

I cut it down to match the sketch

then I punched two edges to accent this beautiful piece

I added a beautiful RED Satin Ribbon

which will be carry forward into the next Stampin Up Summer Mini

now for a greeting  

I used the Well Scripted stamp set

with Gold Metallic

it look okay just needs  a little something something

my thought was to use some hard ware

but it was blah

so I turned an ivory brad into a red brad 

I used red craft ink and clear embossing powder

now I am happier LOL
this is coming together nicely

I added some brad and I used Liane's little angle design

I loved it on her swap cards, which I will be featuring on my blog tomorrow!

okey doke I am ready to assemble and show you my card!

then my little notebook with the home made beads

my matching card

for my notebook

now for the little beads that I added

remember that I created these bead 

All By Myself HE HE I am a big girl NOW

lol - sorry one of my goofy moments 

so I used scrap paper - but I will show you that tomorrow I promise okay??

aren't they just the coolest he he

I am so excited about them and I am thrilled to use them!

I strung them - and used a clear bead from the Pretties kit

onto my little notebook

now to show you the set

there we have it - what do you think??
I have a an up close photo and then I am out of here for the day!

got to go to work he he :)
