Mouse-Clicks






Sorry I have been such a bad blogger! I have been MIA for 2 weeks! I am getting ready for a move and it is SO much work! I have already packed and purged a ton of stuff in my house. I am moving in SEVEN short days! EEEEK!


I have been stamping this past week to prepare for my stamp class on May 31st! I will share my class project with you all as soon as I can. For now, I have a project I worked on today.


I saw this idea on someones blog a while back. I cannot for the life of me recall who it was, so if it is YOU please shoot me an e-mail so I can give you credit. :)


I desperately needed a book I could use to jot down all the websites I visit along with the log in names and passwords. I need to be prepared in the event my computer were to crash. LOL I mean... how am I going to shop if I don't have all my account information on hand? :)


I used a Bella that is perfect for the occasion! Clickabella! The sentiment is actually "I'm just a mouse-click away." The create the sentiment I inked up just mouse-click with my chocolate chip marker and stamped. Then I inked up ONLY the s in "just". I drew a line on my acrylic block to show me where the S was that I wanted to stamp at the end of my word. Then, I lined up the sentiment and stamped the S. It only took me two tries. :) I thought "mouse-clicks" was a cute sentiment for my book.


The image is colored with Copic markers! Some of you have asked which variety I use and the answer is SKETCH. Why? I like the brush tip of the marker and the number code and color printed on the cap. Honestly, it really doesn't matter which type you buy I don't think. They are just awesome to color with and I need to expand on my 30 colors ASAP!


The flower embellishment was made by stacking two large Primas and then adhering the sentiment that was stamped, then punched with my SU oval punch. I matted it with the larger oval punch, pierced around the edge and then adhered it to the flower using the BLACK FOAM BOOSTERS! Those things are awesome! Speaking of... I have heard from MANY of you who purchased the sticky sale boosters. I am SO glad that you are enjoying them as much as I do! A little hint: to remove the red film, just rub your paper piercer along the edge of it. It will help the liner come off. I HAVE to use this method since I am a nail biter! EWWW! I know... I know! :( Just wait til you see the NEW sticky stuff I will be offering in June and in the months to come! *exciting!*


I finished off this book by adding 6 card stock pages in between a stack of white copy paper pages. I then added a tab to each divider so I can organize my entries by type. I haven't labeled them yet, but I will soon!
Stamps: Bella image and sentiment
Ink: palette burnt umber
Paper: Basic Grey Sultry, vanilla, chocolate chip, white copy paper
Accessories: bind it all, coil, dew drops, copic markers, oval punches, tab punch, black foam boosters, heavy weight coasters, sticky dots

  4. Oh I LOVE your idea Jody! I use a book similar that Beate had shown but hers was long and short and not made with coasters...ok so maybe not that similar after all...haha!
    I have a ton of coasters sitting around, think I'll try and case this idea for the teachers. They could use them to keep student info in each year.
    Good luck with your move!!!
