~ I AM…~
January 31st, 2009 by Holly McMillen
Good ____________~~ (You fill in the blank.. it’s 2am here…)
I’m not in the least suprised that I cannot sleep. I spent such a lazy day yesterday… I did some computer work… tried to retrieve some lost files and napped twice. I have given up on normal sleep. It is just overrated.
While surfing Splitcoasters at 12:30am, I came across the Inspiration challenge. It is quickly becoming my favorite challenge as it leaves alot to the imagination. I perused the Elum site for a bit and was taken in by THIS collection. It spoke to me. So much so that I wanted to recreate the little bag. So, I did, sorta.
My bag stands a commanding 6″ tall and is 5 1/2″ wide. Perfect for holding those large square cards. I used my new (soon to be released) Our Daily Bread Designs set, I am the Way. The sentiment is stamped on a piece of Raspberry Tart dp.
Here are my deets:
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs I am the Way
Colors: Cool Caribbean, Chocolate Chip, GP White, Raspberry Tart dp
Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black, copics
Accessories: oval 1/2 pearls, ribbon, dimensionals, label 2 nesties, MS scalloped border punch, MS butterfly punch

Here’s a little cutie I finished up last evening……….
I am having such a fun time working with this set. This little squirrel has the CUTEST look on his face. I missed a couple of birthdays recently, so I am making a few of these to send out… different colors, etc, of course.
Stamps: There She Goes’ You’re So Punny
Colors: Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa, Really Rust, Baja Breeze, GP White
Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black, Copics
Accessories: Brads, ribbon, dimensionals, circle punches, MS embossing border punch, scalloped circle punches, bubbles EF
