Some more play time

notepadsm

Oh this is my last vacation day !!!! So sad !!!!

But wanted to show you a couple more projects I got done while I was off. I have one more to finish and that will be it on my play time for awhile.

I made some little notepads out of chipboard with my bind it all.

The one on the left  is Winter Wonderland from Sylvia Zet images for Susana’s Custom Art and Cards. I used my copic’s to color the image. I think just about everything on this notepad came from Susana’s. These adorable poinsettia's, Satine Mother of Pearl Paint, Hologram Glitter Pen, Glamour dust, Glamour dust glitter paint and Bo Bunny Papers.

The notepad on the left is Christmas Dance from Lily Of The Valley. I am not for sure the paper on this pad for it was from my stash. My image has been colored with Prisma Pencils and the flourish if from Bosskut. The flower is from Prima. Both pads have a peel off for the sentiment.

Then I made a few Halloween bags for the grandkids. The image is from Krista Smith.

Hello dear friends !!! I do hope you all are enjoying your weekend !!! I really hate to see it come though for that means my vacation is about over !! (Pouting)  I so dread going back to those long work hours again.

But I have so enjoyed my play time I have gotten this week. I saw a criss cross  card that Bev had done and just had to try it.

I used this adorable image from Krista Smith I just love her images. She has been colored with my copic’s and I have used some Satine Mother of Pearl paint for my snow and the snowman, I also added Hologram Glitter Pen to highlight the snow along with some glamour dust. Then I used some glamour dust glitter paint on the heart on the snowman. So this project really sparkles lol All these products are from Susana’s Custom Art and Cards and I so love them there is so much texture to the Satine Mother of Pearl paint.
