Springtime List Book Beauty

Hi! Today, I'm over on the Pinque Peacock blog presenting this beautiful little book!

It was a SUPER QUICK project. Which I needed since I've had little time for crafting.

I needed a quick project...but mostly I just needed the crafting time!

For some reason, I'm really into making and decorating books right now. This book is 8.25 x 5 and is filled with blank sheets. Maybe it will be for lists, things to keep track of, and maybe I'll sketch...or even write down my dreams!

I decorated the outside by making a flower out of:

- Burlap ribbon I purchased from Julie Odil's CTMH shop
- an old scrap of ribbon (but pretty)
- and a couple buttons (the blue one was one of my recent freebies from SU Saleabration - got to love free)

Topping it off with one of the Pinque Peacock's angel pins....mine is missing her halo (which actually is quite fitting for me!)

I LOVE this book. I just may never use it, which would be a serious waste of beauty, don't you think?

Inspirational Unity Blog Hop

I have three huge passions related to art: photography, jewelry making, and paper crafts. Above combines two of those passions: jewelry making and paper crafts. The necklace featured is a gift for a friend. I used Unity Stamp Company stamps in all the projects shown in the picture above. If you look closely, you'll even see that I used the Hawaiian Border and the swirls in the lambs fleece of Love Ewe to make the bronze charms in the jewelry above! Besides the stamps used, other materials included Bronz Clay, antiqued bronze findings, and various beads. Of course, what gift isn't complete without packaging? You can find the tutorial for the bag Here . Paper and cardstock, punches, and ribbon used are from Stampin Up! while the stamp used is from Unity's March Kit of the Month . People who know me know how I strive to use humor everyday...and especially to make light of otherwise stressful situations. So, my quote for the day has absolutely nothing to do with my project. I
