Altered Magazine File ♥

Hello everyone!

I went to Target yesterday to purchase some items and I came across this magazine holder. When I saw it I thought to myself, how can I make it look a little more interesting.

Here is what it looked like before...

Although the chevron pattern was pretty cool, I decided that I wanted to look a little different. Here is what it looks like now...

I already have some solid card stock inside of the magazine file to sit on my shelf. It looks pretty good there!
Thanks for stopping by! I have more projects on the way! ♥

A couple cards...

Hello everyone!!!!

I had some free time today (in between lesson plans and grocery shopping), so I worked on a couple vintage cards. I hope that you like them!

The background paper comes from Close to My Heart (Avonlea paper pack).

I saw this "I Love Paris in the Spring time" stamp in Michael's and I knew I had to have it!  

More Copic Coloring

Hello everyone!!! 

My summer vacation is nearly over...and I go back to work the day after Labor Day. I've gone in to set up my classroom and I'm ready for my new students to arrive! 

Since I only have a few days left, I decided to keep my mind occupied by using my Copics to improve my coloring. Here are two cards that I worked on today.

The Halloween card is super cute! The paper comes from the Mischief (retired) paper pack from Close to My Heart. The sentiment shape comes from the Artiste cartridge and the sentiment comes from the Spellbound Workshop on the Go Kit from Close to My Heart. Although the Mischief paper is recently retired, the new Moonlight paper pack is just as adorable!

This card I think has a slight vintage feel to it. The paper comes from Kaiser Kraft paper pad. The border comes from a Martha Stewart Punch. The flowers are Prima flowers. The ovals come from the Art Philosophy cartridge. Both the Art Philosophy and Artiste cartridges are exclusive to Close to My Heart. PM me for details on how you can get FREE SHIPPING on either cartridge.

I hope that you have enjoyed my creations and I hope that I have inspired you to become crafty!
