Guess what day it is! It's my birthday! I entered this world on September 3, 1970. I am celebrating double nickels. I am having a wonderful day. I went to work in a new outfit and even put on make up. I usually just use lip gloss or a lip stick, but I went all in with concealer, foundation, eyeshadow, mascara, blush, and a lip oil. I'm hoping I can stick to this routine. Time will tell. Well, enough of that. Let's keep hopping. Here is our wonderful cue:
Hmm! At first I was going to make book marks, then tags. I finally decided to create my own ephemera. I did this some years ago and had a lot of fun. The ephemera I made years ago was purchased by a sweet woman in England. I couldn't believe it.
Set #1: 
This set features moths, butterflies, magic, and a little bit of grunge. It is intended to inspire creativity. Embrace the messy magic was created using a vintage wood block stamp. This is my first time using it. I guess I was waiting for the right project. I stamped the image onto a sheet of paper from Grit & Grace. It was cut with a tag from Grunge Cuts. I then cut a sentiment strip apart and adhered it to the tag. A mini, metal hanger was attached at the top. Each of these creations were backed with card stock. Believe in your magic was created using the butterfly from the February 2024 Kit of the Month, grace and more grace. I am in love with this image. It, too, was stamped onto a sheet of paper from Grit & Grace. In fact, this paper kit was used for all of them. I then took another sentiment strip and cut it apart. The last one features a stamp from the February 2017 SMAK Kit, be you for you. It is now available as its own smaller kit. An acetate moth was layered on the middle moth. I used a postage die to cut the paper.
Set #2: 
The second set is all about embracing transformation, that change should be encouraged. Both were stamped on paper from Grit & Grace. The phases of the moon and sentiment are from the August 2023 Kit of the Month, phases. It was cut using a Terrific Ticket Die. Embrace the Seasons of Change used stamps from the July 2021 Kit of the Month, special spot in my heart. It was cut using a Grunge Cut die. An acetate stem was layered over the image.
Well, that's all for me folks. I am the last stop in this hop. To start from the beginning, click here to return to Crystal. Can I just say how amazing this woman is? She does so much for our team as well as several other teams. She is super talented. Please give her an extra shout out.
See everyone next month for another incredible hop. As always, thanks for your continued support. We appreciate each and everyone of you.
Inky hugs,
Dawn
