Sketch Challenge At InStyle Stamps Blog

It's time for the October Sketch Challenge at the InStyle Stamps blog. Here is the sketch.

I normally don't participate but decided to give it a go this month. I haven't made a card in years so to me it's a bit beginner looking. I don't have Copic makers so I used Prisma Color pencils. My coloring is not that great. Maybe I should practice some more. I used the digi stamp Violet. My daughter plays the violin and just had her first orchestra concert of the year. I thought this would be perfect. 

I used chipboard letters and embossed them with white glittery embossing powder. The black ribbon on the bottom had white polka dots which I replaced with bling. I also added a black yo-yo and added bling to that as well.

This was really fun to do. I think I'm getting the card making bug.

Sorry about the dark pics. I have a new camera and I keep using the wrong settings on it. That's what happens when you don't read the manual.

Thanks for stopping by,
Laura

New Blog Name and Other News

Hi everyone. I wanted to let everyone know that my blog's name is now Laura Tiffany Studios. The site address(url) will still remain the same so that if someone looks for my blog it still pops up. This is much easier than having to start all over. Now that I have two shops I can post everything in one blog.

In other news.
I had some dental work done on friday and I haven't been feeling well since then. So naturally I haven't been working on anything. I am feeling better now and will be working on some fabric journals and Post-It holders. I also drafted a new bag pattern a couple of weeks ago and I'm anxious to see how the bag will turn out. I did work on a Peyote stitch bracelet and I will  post a pic of it as soon as I can.

Have a crafty day!
Laura

Index Card Binder Tutorial

Yay! I finally was able to make the tutorial. I hope you enjoy it. A simple and fast way to make an index card binder. What's great about this binder is that it's refillable. This can be used for to do list, taking notes in class or meetings or you can make it into an address book. The possibilities are endless.




Here are other binders I have made.

A. I am working on new designs now and will be adding a few items within the next month. Hopefully sooner.

Q. Is there any new tutorials coming out soon?

A. Yes. I am working on a notebook tutorial now. My camera hasn't been behaving that's why it's been  taking me a while to make a new video. Here's the notebook I'll be making a tutorial on.
