A Little Bookmark by Irene Tan

Hi Marion Smith Designs fans! It's Irene here. Time really flies and we're on the countdown towards year 2016! When I thought of today's blog post, the first think that came to my mind is creating a resolution book. But I'm sure everyone is doing that at this time. Therefore, I think I want to create something a different. I want to create a little something that I will use for the year 2016 and it will remind me of one of my resolution.

With that, I've created a little bookmark which says "typewriter". This little bookmark will reminds me to document down my sweet, sour and bitter experiences in 2016.

This is just a little idea for you all and I'm going to create a few more to remind me throughout 2016. It will be a perfect little reminder for someone who loves to read or love keeping a planner.

Supplies Used:

Sweet Something, Forever/Romance Novel Ch. 2 

Hope you all are inspired and Happy 2016!!!

Hello everyone, Yasmin on the blog today wishing you a big welcome to Marion Smith Designs and Petaloo Blog Hop! There has been so many inspiration this week, I hope you have enjoyed it.

I have two projects I'd like to share with you today! a tag and a Shadowbox. Let's start with the Tag :)

I've used Marion Smith Design "Timekeeper" collection and beautiful Petaloo flowers. 

The tag is masculine, perfect to give on fathers day or as a birthday card to a man. :) 

My next project is a Shadowbox. I tend to keep fun boxes and things that you get embellishement or things like that in, This one has been an old card case. 

I've painted it with black gesso and some texture paste with sand in it. I aslo added micropearls in black and silver to get a more sparkely look.

Marion Smith Designs and Petaloo Blog Hop :: Day 02 with Sandi Clarkson

Hello, Marion Smith Designs fans! Sandi here with you today sharing a Graduation card and tag set that I made for the Marion Smith Designs/Petaloo Blog Hop. Please be sure to visit the Petaloo blog. 

I've used the  MSD Junque Gypsy collection along with some yummy Petaloo Darjeeling and Penny Lane mixed blossoms. Petaloo blooms of any kind seem to blend so well with many different types of projects but are perfect for any of Marion's product lines! 

I have a couple of family members who are approaching Graduation, so I took the opportunity to make something kind of girly and pretty for them.  Junque Gypsy is my foundation, along with some mediums and bling. The colors of the Junque Gypsy collection are crazy gorgeous and my absolute faves! I've used plenty of layers and a die cut butterfly for high impact. 

Here are some close-ups:

I always have fun making tags and experimenting with different ways of creating them uniquely. One of my favorite ways is just using plenty of layers with some pretty punch work and a bow at the top! The Petaloo flowers are the perfect adornment.
