OCL June Blog Hop

There are so many things going on right now! I decided that there were going to be some changes going on in my life. I have recently been elected as the President of the PTA for our elementary school. That is going to take up a lot of my time. I am going to cut back on lots of my design work for FreckledANDfun. As much as I love doing banners and watermarks, it takes up so much of my free time. I want to dedicate my time to stamp design and papercrafting. My passion is really stamping, so I want to refocus my passion. I am pleased to participate in the blog hop for Our Craft Lounge.

I am also so thrilled to announce that I am now on the design team for Our Craft Lounge!

I {heart} their stamps and now I get to play with them all the time!
YAY!

This is actually a picture frame! I made it when Bella announced that her class is celebrating her teacher's birthday tomorrow! She wanted me to make her a "real" gift. I thought this would be cute....it the Bookworm set from OCL. The frame is covered with DCWV red paper (a 12x12 sheet trimmed down). The green is also DCWV.



I sewed the green strip of paper on with my Janome sew mini. The images are stamped with black soot ink on white cardstock, then then colored with copics. I mounted the sentiments on scraps of the green cardstock. They were placed on the frame with dimensionals. I used some buttons with green thread to add to the strip of green (WT220: Buttons).

So that is it in a nutshell! Lots of changes coming this summer! I am really excited to get back in the stampin' groove!

Well - it's time to get hoppin' -- check out these other blogs!
