Here is a cute baby boy congratulations handmade card.

Sentiment:  Congrats on the cute new poop machine.

This one is funny but so cute and light hearted.  I made one similar a while back with a girl theme.  I just switched out the colors and papers.  It makes a great shower or baby card,

Bible Journal Girl ~ Today is a Gift

Today, I am sharing another bible journal page.

Sentiment:  Today is a gift.

For this page, I combined stamping, coloring and rub-on embellishments.

For the girl, I used Copic markers and fine liner pens on trimmed cardstock.  When I color with Copics, I always do so on a separate paper piece because of the bleed through of the ink.

I do this with stamping sometimes too, depending on the ink used.

I used a sheet of decorative rub-on embellishments that easily added a pretty background for this planner girl and sentiment.

I documented different techniques while experimenting with decorating on the thin bible pages.

Here is a quick tip video of this planner girl page.

Flower Vases All Occasion Card

Here is an all occasion card with flowers in vases.

Sentiment:  Sending beautiful wishes.

I wanted this to look bright and sunny.

The blended background and the watercolor was made using distress ink pads.  I masked the edges to make a frame.
