I tried to bribe myself yesterday with some new Authenique Paper (who is having a Facebook giveaway right now if you want to try to win some! Please tell them I sent you), the deal was I got something at Ben Franklin if I cleaned up the house. Let's just say that I love my new paper, but my house still needs a bit of TLC, is that cheating? Challenge happy girl over here decided to mix and match a few of the current challenges. The current Jay Gee's Nook challenge had me thinking about yellow. I started off with the bookmark, I have loosely used the Waltzingmouse Stamps sketch (the CAS girl in me decided to go super simple, but I mixed up two different WMS sentiments to make up for it?). I haven't played with Wee Memories in awhile, so I thought this paper was a great way to incorporate the "Back to School" challenge.
And then since I was feeling a bit guilty that my bookmark was super simple I made a card to go with it using the Moxie Fab World vertical sketch. Once again I'm veering from the sketch a bit, but I thought the butterfly sorta worked for the banners.
Bookmark: Waltzingmouse Stamps Frame It and Say It Loud sentiments, Authenqiue Blissful patterned paper, Versafine black ink, PTI bookmark die, Twinery charcoal twine

Oh those papers are SOOOO YUMMY!!! And I think shopping for crafty supplies ranks WAY HIGHER than cleaning ANY DAY! No need to feel the least bit guilty, girl!! LOVE both of these creations, but your bookmark is SO FANTASTIC...and totally makes me want that bookmark die now!! AWESOME work!!!
Oh ...love them both but the bookmark rocks! Yay for your new paper and I'm sure you'll get to the cleaning...when the crafting is done :)

What a great way to use that WM sketch! Love the sentiment with the cute school-y paper :)
Great way to combine challenges Erin with two fantastic projects. I am really loving that bookmark! Thanks so much for joining us again at Jay Gee's :)
I think sketches are meant to be "loosely" interpreted. That is what helps us to be more creative. I love both your bookmark and your card with that great big E on it. Very cute and the school themed bookmark is adorable.
Oh, these are FUN, Erin!! LOVE that great bookmark--so eye-catching and great for a teacher. You are a gal after my own heart on getting the new paper with the house still needing TLC!!! Your own MOAV sounded fantastic--WOW!! Thanks for sharing some of your experiences!!
Oh I love that bookmark, Erin! And I think the butterfly is a very creative take on the MFW sketch. Very pretty!
Oh these are lovely Erin! Nothing like a reward for cleaning your house! :)
