Lizzie Anne Designs

This week's picks!

Hi Lizzie Anne friends!  Deb here with this week's blog picks.  Let me tell you, this could have been one really long post because our fabulous LAD rock stars have made some amazing creations lately (as always)!  ;)  I honestly wanted to just include 'em all, but I worked really hard to narrow it down to only a few!

Look at this adorable pair of Mother's Day cards by Kendra!  Love Love LOVE these bright colors and fun papers!  Doesn't it look like this paper was just made for this image?!

Next up is this beauty by Joslyn.  Such a clean, bright design...and her trademark little dangly buttons always make me smile!  (Take a peek at her new blog header while you're visiting)!

Wendy used the same image, and the look is altogether different but equally WOW!  That rainbow of color in the background is gorgeous, isn't it?!

And just look at all the gorgeousness here!  I am such a Christmas fanatic that seeing Tricia's little tabletop Easter tree made me want to squeal with delight!  I don't think it could be any more beautiful!

We're loving this month's images, and already looking forward to what is coming next!  So excited to share it soon!

I Love Bookmarks!

I mean, who doesn't? They are wonderful gifts to give, to receive, and really come in handy. But I recently got bored with the rectangular bookmark, or the the small corner ones. So I came up with a new one! Now, I'm sure someone has already done this, but I haven't nor have I seen it. Cross my heart, Scout's honor :)
Mine is a wee bit crooked, because I stamped the Love Tattoo a little to one side. But not so much I couldn't still use it, so I went for it!

Here's how I made it:

• I started by stamping the image at the bottom of the page, lengthwise.
• I then figured out by eye where the backside needed to end, just at the edges of the leaves
• I cut to there, and the used Copics to color my image.
• Once colored, I cut it out with paper snips.
• I paper pierced around the edge and highlighted them with a white gel pen. 
• I used the "Love" sentiment from the "So Much Love" set to stamp it three times at the top.
• On the inside I adhered two small magnets on each side, to make sure it would stay put in a book.

And it was that simple! Thanks for stopping by to check it out - I hope you like it!
