Mark's Finest Papers


This message board was made using Daffodil Greetings. I like this set because it is easy to color. The areas that need to be highlighted are marked easily. There is no guess work. Can't beat that with my daddy's hickory stick! I cut down an old cork tile from Home Depot with a craft blade and a ruler. (6"x6") I then used a hand drill to add the holes for the giant eyelets. I put a large magnet on the back in case I want to put this on my fridge. I figure it will fit my kitchen decor! I pinned on a note to buy milk today. I forgot I was babysitting my grandbaby tonight!

 This card was made using the butterfly from Daffodil Greetings. I had a scrap piece of washi paper and built my card from that. I used Boudior Palette ink for the butterfly background. The saying is from a larger saying on the stamp set. I cut it out because Peace fit in the circle! I found the tassel in my sewing box. I'm not sure where it came from. I find many treasures there!hee! The bracket was on a card I received from my daughter. I decided to repurpose it.



Good Luck on the hop!

  4. I love that you did a bag. My friend and I are working on stuff for a craft sale and she is doing the bags and I'm doing cards and tags to match. I won't have my stamps on time for this year but will for next year. It looks great.
