This is the inside of the envelope thingy below. I saw this design in one of my many books in my studio library. I have used it many times, and recently, duh, discovered it holds 4 ATC's wonderfully. Well, now to insert the ATC's to get them ready to mail......then I gotta clean my studio from yesterdays play. I don't wanna clean though.......I wonder if my muse knows a cleaning fairy? Who do us moms whine to when we don't wanna clean up a mess? but i don't wanna cleeeeeeeaaaaaaannnnnn it upppppppppppp. it's not as fun as making it!

I LUV,LUV,LUV the new opaque cotton white stazon! It shows up a wee bit better live and in person, but I luv it. It is subtle. I used it on a piece of scrap inkjet transparency ( i can't throw very many things away!) that I burned the edges of with a candle. (if y'all would decide to do this be careful, it likes to catch fire!) Oh, it says ' just 4 u'. And who knows, this could be just for you!

LOOK AT ALL THE NEAT THINGS YOU CAN DO .....

with the sizzix paper clips die cut.
okay, i have to say i am in serious need of a sizzix patch. i am addicted to this machine. i love having the control to make what i want, when i want the color, and texture i want. last week when i ran up to redlead they had a whole bunch of new sizzix. i wanted to buy about 5 of them, but i restrained myself. i then had to run back up to redlead a few days ago and the paper clip die kept calling my name. i told myself.....okay if you come up with an original idea, not the obvious one, you can buy it. well, my muse must have really panicked thinking she was not going to get a new toy so she came up with an idea within seconds and whispered it in my ear. the next several pics are what i have been working on the last day and a half. when you lift the 'door' on this one it says she always had a secret crush on the groom'.

this one is on a large tag. funny how the big pieces can look so much small than the small ones. i used the sizzix buckles on this one also. when you open the 'door' it says 'they dared to travel to places considered to be suited only for men. they broke the rules. often.' i used stazon on the metal charms to tone 'em down a wee bit. 

this one is on a small sqare tag. when you open the 'door' it says 'sweet baby cheeks' 

this one is on a small oval copper tag. when you open the 'door' it says 'tiny little hands' 

this one is atc size. when you open the 'door' it says 'happy feet'
