Home Decor using July Stamp of Month, s1307 "Sweet Life"

Here is a home decor project i made using the July stamp of month "sweet life"
 and some burlap ribbon for texture, the fame and mat were in my "stash"

and a gift card to go with Home Decor project.

Happy Birthday Alexa

Can you tell how much I love this stamp set????and my new Alcohol Markers from CTMH?
I thought this would be perfect for a two year old's birthday!

Thank You Card

This card uses CTMH Alcohol markers and a stamp set from up coming fall catalog...just a teaser.
A note about our markers: be sure to store these laying down , not standing on end like in a cup.
These markers are nice but they are not meant to replace Copic markers. The price point is lower and they don't have as long a shelf life. Be sure to fasten your caps on securely and don't leave them laying on table uncapped for any time. Alcohol DRIES out fast if you do that!!!
