WT187 - Coloring Pads With Monogram

I managed to complete a quick and happy project for the 'Ways To Use It Challenge" (WT187), which was to use monograms. I bought some plain white paper drawing pads for my kids, and I decided it would be nice to put fun covers on them with their initial. It was super easy and they turned out cute! Waiting for the glossy accents/stickles to dry almost killed me, but the results were worth it. Hope you like them! They involved no stamping, but I thought I would share anyway.



Paper: Orchid Opulence (SU!), Real Red (SU!), Making Memories - Meg Argyle, Sandylion - Cars Accessories: Sewing machine, white thread, red line tape, coasters (for tracing), Cosmo Cricket Alpha Buttons, Notepads (Target), Clear plastic canvas circle, paper piercing tool, purple polka dotted ribbon, black with white polka dotted organdy ribbon, diamond stickles

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus).
