Fox Bookmark

-
I have had a hard time falling in love with my Prismacolor Colored Pencils. I just was never happy with the blend and just couldn't get the hang of them, it seemed. I have seen several crafters use color pencils on kraft card stock, but I've been hesitant to try, thinking they would just disappoint me once more. Boy, was I wrong. I can say with some certainty that I have finally fallen head over heels! I made this adorable bookmark for Rob's birthday (to go with some new books). He loves foxes and this precious little fox was just too perfect. I laminated it after to protect it and give it some strength and made a matching tassel out of some baker's twine.

Fiesta Birthday Card/The Birthday Project - ROYGBIV

My youngest son, Drew, is turning nine on Saturday, so I set out to make him a super fun and colorful card, which fits his personality to a T. This card was inspired by Jennifer McGuire's spinner cards  and was a massive labor of love. There were so many elements to it, I had to do each part in steps (i.e. stamp the sentiment, die cut all the many, many pieces, assemble the card, decorate). It was so worth it, though! Doesn't it just want to make you FIESTA?! I just love how crazy it is. Kind of like Drew. Ha! I can't believe he's turning NINE!!!
