Here are the Projects I created for you.

 My first Project is using a Stamp from Bugaboo if you have never been to their site todays the day. Bugaboo offers some great images with funny wonderful characters to work with. The image I used today is called Deacon-school sign it. I created a Pencil Holder for my youngest's daughter to give to her new third grade teacher. This is their first year going to Public School.

I used an old funnel cake container for the holder covered it with Paper Studio Letter themed paper.

I then trimmed the top and bottom in lace.

I used a school notebook looking scrap

paper I had not sure who made it. I inked the edges.

I colored my image with Copic Makers.

 I added glossy accents to the apples to make them shine.

I cut out the stars for a 12 x12 card stock I had and placed them on wobbles so the move.

I wrote on the board Welcome to the third grade in a copper looking gel pen. I did not come out so well in the pictures:(

My second Project for you today is a card. My Image comes from The Paper Shelter if you have never been to there site you need to check it out they have some great images. The image I am working with is called Cool Lolly.

I colored her with Copics:) The inside stamp is a clear stamp I can not quite recall the maker.I have had it for ever but it seemed perfect for her.

Now what hop is complete without a little blog candy:)
