My Favorite Things newest stamps are now in stock. I was playing with the sets Friends Furever and Gone To The Dogs. There are so many cute puppies to play with.
I took the bone from Friends Furever and inked all but the little hanger part. I use Brilliance Graphite Black Dew Drop Ink Pad when I am using Copic Markers. I have found that if I use Coconut Swirl Smoothies paper with the ink, the ink will dry quickly. I don't like waiting and when I heat set it, it always curls up, which is so annoying. I took a marker and filled in where the hanger part was.

I was surfing blogs the other day and came upon this post "A Green Project" on Jen's blog. I put it in my favorites to come back to it at a later time and try it. I was feeling the need to make something other than a card. So I took the main idea and tweaked it a bit.
Items needed-
Toilet paper roll, pattern paper, cardboard, scissors, glue, and embellishments.
I took the toilet paper roll and a lightweight chipboard coaster and traced the opening of the roll onto the chipboard. I cut out the circle and inserted it into the roll. I then took pattern paper and measured so that 1/2" of paper would hang over the end. I attached the paper with Mono Multi Liquid Glue. I then snipped the hang over paper at about every 1/2". I folded in the flaps and from the inside of the roll I pressed the chipboard circle down so it is nice and flush with the bottom.
I took a piece of coordinating paper and cut a 1" strip, I attached it to the outside and then snipped it every 1/2". I folded them inwards to give it a nice finished look. I took ribbon and tied it on. I had this image of Gwenny floating around and it just happened to match (I love when that happens) so I mounted her on a piece of the pattern paper and attached it to the roll.
Since the roll is really lightweight I added rice into the bottom.























































































Haaa! These are GREAT! Ooh...when can I buy? When can I buy? When can I buy? I'm not in the LEAST impatient. LOL!
