Junkin' and inspired!

Hi guys!!!

A couple of weeks ago I found these small clip boards, about a 5" X 7" (apx.)

At first I thought about covering them with paper and them a saw a stand made out of 

a 2x4 in Indiana.  

Hubby and I came up with a Texas version~

 The long groove is where the clip board goes, the
front groove is a worm hole:):)
And here is what it looks like~

It sits in the groove chiseled out. The wood is Texas Mesquite from the ranch.
The stand and tiles are from a scrabble game set!!!
Have a great weekend~
See ya soon~

Darkroom Door~Kombi cards!!!

Hi guys!!!

Blogging when I can get on~

This is set I made for Darkroom Door using the Kombi  Photo Stamp. 

 We call it a Volkswagen Van!!

I made two cards, using some old Basic Grey paper, I had stashed away:).

The reverse side of the print was a pale yellow, so I stamped the Kombi on that side.

  I loved the results!!! It gave the image a yellow tint.  I used  Brown Archival Ink by Ranger (Wendy Vecchi)~Potting Soil!!!

Thanks for stopping by~

See ya soon, one way or another:):)

Try It Tuesday~The Curtsey Boutique, Easter Treats!

Easter is fast approaching and The Curtsey Boutique has some really cute bakery bags that can easily be made into treat bags.  Here is one I made using the Kraft Bakery bag.

The seam binding ribbon, doilies and white tags are also found in the Etsy shop.  The rubber stamp is by Inkadinkado.   The shop is always adding new items and they are handmade or embellished.

Take a look:):)
