<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This Thursday we start our post with some sad news. Unfortunately April will be our final challenge here at Shelly's Images. We have had SO much fun with these challenges, but after lots of soul searching we have decided to discontinue the challenges. Unfortunately the challenges take a ton of time and attention. And lately my life has become more and more busy. I want to send a heartfelt thank you to all of the girls that have been on my design team in the past. They are an amazing group of talented designers and I feel so lucky to have met them. I also want to send a special thank you to Darlene Pavlick who has really stepped in and spent countless hours helping me along the way. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The blog will remain open and will continue to be a great resource for all the wonderful tutorials that have been posted over the years.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The store will also remain open at this time. Unfortunately we are battling issues with the download codes on some of the digi stamps there. All of the digi stamps will remain free. If you have any issues with download codes please send me an email. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thanks again to all of you who have played along with our challenges. It is hard to put into words how inspired I have been by your entries. I will miss seeing them every month.</span></div>

Today I have a short little video showing how I like to add white highlights to the digi images that I color. In my video I used the digi stamp called <a href="http://www.shellysimages.com/DigiShop/index.php?id_product=40&controller=product">"Peter"</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For many of you this won't be a "new" idea, but hopefully some of the pointers or products I used will be helpful to you. And for some of you it will just be a nice reminder of a little touch we often forget to add. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Just a short note from me today to let everyone know that the price changes at Shelly's Images Digi Shop are now complete. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You will find a very simple tutorial in the top bar here at the blog and also on the main page at Shelly's Images.com explaining how to order and download your free digi stamps.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once again please keep in mind that our Angel Policy and Terms of Use remain in effect. Please do not share our digi stamps but do feel free to send your friends over to Shelly's Images to get their own digi stamps. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As always we LOVE to hear from you! It helps us know that you are excited about the digis and using this special artwork that means so much to me on your projects. Let us know what you are making. And enter those projects in our challenges.</div>

We have some very exciting news for our Shelly's Images friends for 2014.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Beginning January 1st (and earlier as we start to do work at the store) all of Shelly's Images Digi Stamps will be available FREE!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You heard right. Every image at our store will be available free of charge to every registered user. And registering is super easy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We will continue to have our monthly challenges beginning on the first Thursday of each month. These challenges will be "Just For Fun" since all of our digi stamps will be available at no charge. We will choose a winner from each challenge and of course that winner gets a badge to display proudly at their blog. Shelly's Images digi stamps won't be required to enter our challenges. However, using a Shelly's Images digi stamp will give you the chance to be featured in our challenge post!!! We will be choosing some very special projects entered each month using Shelly's Images digis so get those projects in!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And all new digi stamps will be added to the store and will also be FREE! Any new digi stamps will be announced when our new challenges are posted. So be sure to follow the blog by email so that you don't miss any new free digi stamps.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Checking out and downloading your free digi stamps is super easy. We will have a special tutorial on the front page of our store at www.shellysimages.com just to be sure everyone can download images easily. As always you can email Shelly at shelly@shellysimages.com if you have any trouble at all. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Please remember that our Angel Policy is still in effect. The fact that the digi stamps will soon be free doesn't change the rules regarding using or sharing the digi stamps. Please read through our <a href="http://www.shellysimages.com/web2/index.php/terms-of-use-angel-policy">Angel Policy and Terms of Use.</a></div>

I hope you enjoy this tutorial showing how I made my Weekly Planner.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are lots of fun techniques and tips in this video, so even if you don't plan to make a Wipe Off Planner I hope you will watch the video and maybe learn a few little tricks.</div>

If you have trouble clicking the video above you can view the video <a href="http://youtu.be/TtPUCVr4euQ">at this link</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I mentioned in my video I want to be sure to give special recognition to Vivian from <a href="http://contadinak.wordpress.com/">Contadina K</a>. I can't thank her enough for her inspiration and amazing videos. The masking tape technique I use in this video is inspired by some of her projects.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Happy Thursday!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Just a reminder that our challenges are now on a <b>MONTHLY</b> basis. Each challenge here at Shelly's Images will begin on the first Thursday of the month and run through the
end of the month. That gives everyone a full month to play along! Be
sure to check out the sidebar for a complete list of upcoming
challenges, tutorials, and special events.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">AND, the DT will typically be working with a Shelly's Images digi stamp <i><b>of their choice</b></i> for each
challenge. That means you get to see lots of different digi stamps each
month. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So...let the fun begin! To start off we want to announce the winner of our </span></div>

Hi friends!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's Tuesday and time for another Tutorial. Today I thought I would do a little video tutorial to show you my tips and techniques for making Glimmer Mist sprays.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Making your own Glimmer Mists is really very fun and of course cost saving. Don't be afraid to mix paints too and come up with your own wonderful color concoctions.<br />
<br />
Items needed:<br />
Acrylic Metallic Paint - (non metallic works too)<br />
Rubbing Alcohol<br />
Ranger Ink Mini Mister<br />
2 bb's<br />
<br /></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Happy Thursday! Before we get to the new challenge we just have to share the </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">BIG NEWS!!!!!</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">She's HERE!!!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Shelly's grand daughter arrived on August 15th (on her due date). She weighed 9 pounds and 11 ounces and is 21 inches long. And of course she is the most beautiful baby ever!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is kind of hard to get back to the blog post after that excitement, but here we go!</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Just a reminder that our challenges are now on a <b>MONTHLY</b> basis. Each challenge here at Shelly's Images will begin on the first Thursday of the month and run through the
end of the month. That gives everyone a full month to play along! Be
sure to check out the sidebar for a complete list of upcoming
challenges, tutorials, and special events.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">AND, the DT will typically be working with a Shelly's Images digi stamp <i><b>of their choice</b></i> for each
challenge. That means you get to see lots of different digi stamps each
month. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So...let the fun begin! To start off we want to announce the winner of our </span></div>

Hi Everyone and welcome back to another Tutorial/Technique Tuesday! Today I have more of a TIP for you verses a tutorial or technique. Actually Shelly introduced me to this product and I was so thrilled with the outcome that I felt it important to share with all of you!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now if you are an Artist (like Shelly) this is not a new product for you but a novice crafter like myself can use all the helpful tips & tools I can get my hands on. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This product is called <i><b><span style="font-size: large;">KNEADED RUBBER ERASER!</span></b></i> </div>

As you can see, this product comes in different sizes & is manufactured by different companies. I am using the General's Kneaded Rubber Eraser because that's the one Shelly showed me she was using and I found it during a shopping trip to JoAnn Fabrics. The cost is minimal, depending on the size and company but I think mine was right around $1 and for what I'm doing, it will last me for a very long time because I only need a little bit ... not the whole block. Let me show you what I'm talking about and the HUGE advantage to this product . . .</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's the items I'll be using: </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This beautiful digi image called "<a href="http://www.shellysimages.com/DigiShop/index.php?id_product=29&controller=product"><span style="color: #351c75;"><i><b>Spring Lamb</b></i></span></a>" is perfect for using this product. I'm not real good coloring a 'sky' with my alcohol markers yet so I like using CHALK. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwynAB5-TiWD-ihdHt9mxC7AylIci3EfnqYZ2maQNVvQWCvBYj_5_udMFyNKOh5FboRcI9E2PUhF3LpcOtcx2eYFTqoNlwHXqusRdH3Qv9qXV-LOCWtSajhLHCBzhzSihwRKw1KWQtc8PD/s1600/Chalk+and+Kneaded+Eraser+Tutorial+003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwynAB5-TiWD-ihdHt9mxC7AylIci3EfnqYZ2maQNVvQWCvBYj_5_udMFyNKOh5FboRcI9E2PUhF3LpcOtcx2eYFTqoNlwHXqusRdH3Qv9qXV-LOCWtSajhLHCBzhzSihwRKw1KWQtc8PD/s400/Chalk+and+Kneaded+Eraser+Tutorial+003.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now that I have this product I don't have to worry much about going over my image lines with my chalk. This kneaded rubber eraser makes it easy to get into those little places and remove any unwanted chalk from my image. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you can see in this next photo ... you can also use a 'regular' eraser but when you do, you have all those NASTY pieces of eraser that come off and all over the place. You are constantly erasing and blowing the residue of the eraser from your workspace ... messy, messy! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzUs3g56-43D1r2_75MgZ-q8bM9sT5QgoX5-AINeKzN0j6DAdOGzEQm2ttEfd_woXbdHjpwrbNQwEzkfspNzcFSukhB4e2LXKYcrscvizzLyWBaFVLm_DJJfm6o-oAWKxbY10OhJgO-P0Z/s1600/Chalk+and+Kneaded+Eraser+Tutorial+005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzUs3g56-43D1r2_75MgZ-q8bM9sT5QgoX5-AINeKzN0j6DAdOGzEQm2ttEfd_woXbdHjpwrbNQwEzkfspNzcFSukhB4e2LXKYcrscvizzLyWBaFVLm_DJJfm6o-oAWKxbY10OhJgO-P0Z/s400/Chalk+and+Kneaded+Eraser+Tutorial+005.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
NOW with using this artists kneaded rubber eraser you have NO eraser pieces & residue to deal with. You simply pull it (knead it) into the shape you want to work with and erase away!!! It 'erases' the unwanted pencil lines, chalk, charcoals ... without any of that nasty residue. You simply work the erased chalk/pencil back into the product by kneading it and keep working on your project!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really like that you can form it into a shape that you can work with for getting into those close fitting areas of your image. With a regular, larger eraser I was constantly having to reapply chalk to an area that was erased accidentally due to the size of my eraser.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Happy Thursday!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Just a reminder that our challenges are now on a <b>MONTHLY</b> basis. Each challenge here at Shelly's Images will begin on the first Thursday of the month and run through the end of the month. That gives everyone a full month to play along! Be sure to check out the sidebar for a complete list of upcoming challenges, tutorials, and special events.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">AND, the DT will be working with a Shelly's Images digi stamp <i><b>of their choice</b></i> for each challenge. That means you get to see lots of different digi stamps each month. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So...let the fun begin! To start off we want to announce the winner of our </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><b>WAIT! </b></i> Before I share our DT inspiration with you, we just want to take a minute to say good bye & thanks to <i><b>Marianne</b></i> for all her fabulous creations and hard work here at Shelly's Images. This will be Marianne's last creation as an SI DT member but hopefully she'll find time to come join in our challenges in the future! Life can get busy as we all know and Marianne has had to make some difficult decisions. She will certainly be missed and we here at SI wish her all the best in the future!! </span><br />

Are you still as addicted to Pinterest as I am? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are so many fantastic crafts, ideas, recipes, and so much inspiration.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I truly think I could browse the pins for hours!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So...the idea for this project originated at Pinterest. (I will share a blog link at the end of this post)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Basically...I wanted a storage solution for my Copic sketch markers. But I also wanted my storage to be something that I could pack up and take with me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are the directions for how I made my copic storage box.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got my box at Michael's for 50% Off. LOVE a good sale! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Be sure to take a copic marker (or at least the measurements) with you with you when you go shopping for your boxes. There are lots of options for your storage box (as you will see in the blog link later in this post) so choose whatever you think will work best for you. I liked the pretty decorative box I found.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The next item you will need is an "egg crate ceiling light tile". My husband found this one at Lowe's or Home Depot. (you could easily make 2 or 3 copic storage boxes with one) I measured how large the inside of the box was and then cut the ceiling tile to size. You will need two layers for each box. One layer of the ceiling tile will lay flat against the bottom of the box. The second layer will be elevated to create a nice stand for the markers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg10qd1tgZyx-Tp2DSRUXNs_vE04SHilKdj7zLQDW5xj3S9kiCPDOLw0DKLTVPFF6rxWPyALr4eKzrzHi6AXS2YIvfHfK5_d_GAX2OmOd0Vzzw7_ERVBEQLo4mzMDB1Y_tEZMJFtuRFLkdW/s1600/026.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg10qd1tgZyx-Tp2DSRUXNs_vE04SHilKdj7zLQDW5xj3S9kiCPDOLw0DKLTVPFF6rxWPyALr4eKzrzHi6AXS2YIvfHfK5_d_GAX2OmOd0Vzzw7_ERVBEQLo4mzMDB1Y_tEZMJFtuRFLkdW/s400/026.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The ceiling tile cuts very easily with wire cutters. Just lay the cutting edge flat against the spot where you want to cut. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-bcrUo2pWQ9KQJ1N_M4FJGGKSUw5eTISv5SxMuYEjQ20DtZsolqy0TQkqCDKcoBgxyDpEJIxYRoYJBF0SYDHlBKIRdDI1YpXyDU4OKLKPmxvv1OBGH9a5SwCzAYal2EYJl0GRk-zQ_0Rv/s1600/025.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-bcrUo2pWQ9KQJ1N_M4FJGGKSUw5eTISv5SxMuYEjQ20DtZsolqy0TQkqCDKcoBgxyDpEJIxYRoYJBF0SYDHlBKIRdDI1YpXyDU4OKLKPmxvv1OBGH9a5SwCzAYal2EYJl0GRk-zQ_0Rv/s400/025.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
In order to elevate the second layer of the ceiling tile my husband had the idea to use pieces of the ceiling tile to create a "shelf". Cut four "shelves" to look like the picture below.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpfHPAXQXxDuD0T4ywb253V_RPcIZX2DR2Pf-aTQVuHY9kYh0525yz-CCl2vfO2jHYG9dJocJTVrpEwbXToP3AdN9mHnT-PzazMn4cce2TCEmxxs_2y1-BPV5hikTFV1drTbWdTDLz5YkK/s1600/027.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpfHPAXQXxDuD0T4ywb253V_RPcIZX2DR2Pf-aTQVuHY9kYh0525yz-CCl2vfO2jHYG9dJocJTVrpEwbXToP3AdN9mHnT-PzazMn4cce2TCEmxxs_2y1-BPV5hikTFV1drTbWdTDLz5YkK/s400/027.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The picture below shows the shelves inserted in each corner. The bottom of the shelf will slide down on top of the bottom ceiling tile piece. And the top shelf will be where the top ceiling tile piece rests. Be sure to insert these "shelves" so they only block the four corners of your ceiling tile. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3TF_BhaeLxV1_xF7cZdNIYv5Fp92pgp68JQU0m1nQWkeMVhVsl_5uuSsoduAcL9sLw4pQBbkODIJv0ejLeefe3wW7YlmQCAfaEH4sza3-G1a6UrsylvYyWLELm3guaqsqWiRTgx-hTZY4/s1600/029.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3TF_BhaeLxV1_xF7cZdNIYv5Fp92pgp68JQU0m1nQWkeMVhVsl_5uuSsoduAcL9sLw4pQBbkODIJv0ejLeefe3wW7YlmQCAfaEH4sza3-G1a6UrsylvYyWLELm3guaqsqWiRTgx-hTZY4/s400/029.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To make it a little prettier I decided to add a little bling to the shelf that showed through each four corners. I put some Instant Krazy Glue CRAFT on the part of the shelf that showed through the square and then added the bling. I also used this glue to glue the top ceiling tile piece to the shelf. You don't want the top ceiling tile piece to pull away when you are removing your copics. While you are gluing squirt a little glue between the shelf and the box on each corner. Again, just to be sure everything stays in place.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
All done. My copic markers fit in the ceiling tile grate perfectly! They are all organized so I can see exactly what I have. And in my box there is a little space in the front where I can slide papers and projects that I am working on. FABULOUS! It stands nicely on one side (the lid is kind of a "kick stand") so I can use it on my desk.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What a great storage solution. And CHEAP too. The ceiling light tile is very inexpensive. And the box itself was a great price on sale. SO much less expensive than the copic marker wallets and bags.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Happy Thursday! And Happy 4th of July to all of our friends in the United States. Have a safe and happy 4th!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We have some exciting new changes happening at Shelly's Images beginning with this July challenge. Our challenges here at Shelly's Images will now begin on the first Thursday of each month and will run through the end of each month. That gives everyone a full month to play along! Be sure to check out the sidebar for a complete list of upcoming challenges, tutorials, and special events.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The second fun change is that the DT will <i>usually</i> work with a Shelly's Images digi stamp of their choice for each challenge. That means you get to see lots of different digi stamps each month. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So...let the fun begin! To start off we want to announce the winner of our </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Stars, Stripes, and Sparkle Challenge.</span> </div>

I want to show you how I color my digistamps with derwent soft colour pencils.<br />

This is what you need. Pencils, odorless turpentine, paper stumps, a nail file and of course a digi. Mostly I use 2 or 3 shades of color for 1 thing. Depending on the size I want to color. I do that to get more shadow then with just 1 color.<br />

I start by coloring the flower. I use 3 colors and they are C130, C150 and C160.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I start with C130 and color around the edges.<br />

Then use you paper stump to blend the color to the middle. Do that in circles so it blends well. For big parts I use a large paper stump (number 2) and for little parts I use number 0.<br />

It should look like this after your done.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Then I use my second pencils C 150 and I color some edges but not all. Only the pieces I want to have shadow.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Use your paper stump again to blend the colors.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Blend the color with your little paper stump.<br />

On to the next part and that is the ladybug. This is such a small part so I only use 2 colors and they are C110 en C120.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Color all around and blend.<br />

Put on the second color on the part where you want your shadow. In case at the bottom. And blend.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Now to the last part and that is the leaves and the stalk. I've used C400 and C410.<br />
First color the edges with C400 and blend. <br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Michelle, this is another PERFECT project for this challenge. When we visit the beach we go to Anna Maria Island in Florida. I truly consider it my "home away from home". Aaaanyway...we always make at least one visit to <a href="http://www.joeseatsandsweets.com/">Joe's Eats and Sweets</a>. I swear there is no other place on Earth like it. This project reminds me of our visits to Anna Maria Island and Joe's Eats and Sweets. Ok, I have to share a picture of our youngest daughter Taylor with her ice cream from Joe's. How about a little Throw Back Thursday? (TBT as my daughter informs me it is called) </span><br />

Hello my friends, it's my turn again to do a tutorial and you all know by now, I love little projects and gift-things. You don't have tot have a lot of things to make something special, you need a dubble printed piece of design paper, 12 x 12 inch, a scoretool, a eyeletsetter, some eyelets and ribbon or twine.....</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I use my scorepal, but feel free to do it otherwise, score at 1 and 11 inch.......and fold the piece inside and put on some tape......oohh I forgot, you do need tape or glue.......not much though.....</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOYL6hWNt73_LVuLj-y8y1kJ0a3w7uziBBwAjSqiiadiC7pxgRSV5dkWwUG1wMT3rsKkNjRqy1Ci7X-B6ti7LmlIJPtotDKUpZdmCXLIgPNLzY0QP35Oefx1uT1e94KAiHdpJJW53iMFo/s1600/3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="276" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOYL6hWNt73_LVuLj-y8y1kJ0a3w7uziBBwAjSqiiadiC7pxgRSV5dkWwUG1wMT3rsKkNjRqy1Ci7X-B6ti7LmlIJPtotDKUpZdmCXLIgPNLzY0QP35Oefx1uT1e94KAiHdpJJW53iMFo/s320/3.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
After putting inside the flaps rotate your paper 90 degrees and score at 3,5 and 8,5 inch, once again fold on the lines and tape the flaps it now should look like the photo beneath....<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8c1Zbm6DBB13M1QXu7tsLqBuWh5WTp8oR3wOXS2K3tvrRbWF2HXIpErxQAskIp7XIOcLaG8H_3ZiaRe4ajhlIluQ5sOVcrbQha1b1gjO7vSdZv_O4zC-VcicZAwnN4npnWrWKQRGKlBg/s1600/4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="172" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8c1Zbm6DBB13M1QXu7tsLqBuWh5WTp8oR3wOXS2K3tvrRbWF2HXIpErxQAskIp7XIOcLaG8H_3ZiaRe4ajhlIluQ5sOVcrbQha1b1gjO7vSdZv_O4zC-VcicZAwnN4npnWrWKQRGKlBg/s320/4.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Now the most hard to explain like above put it on your scorepal and score at 4 1/8 and 5 inch then turn it around (rotate 180 degrees) and score at 4 1/8 again, you have three scorelines, fold them....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Standing up it looks like this, you can see the two bags already, before making twins out of them, put your eyelets in....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
After the eyelets put some tape inside and make a twinbag (I made a little mistake and had to cut it loose and ad the eyelets first, you can see I forgot the eyelets in my first attempt......<br />

This digi stamp is done in a "pencil" sketch format. We have tested the digi on multiple printers but we understand that all printers are a little different. Adjustments can easily be made by emailing Shelly at shelly@shellysimages.com if you find that the digi prints too lightly on your printer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Darlene was nice enough to make a sample with our newest digi. I absolutely love, love, love the sentiment she used! Perfect for this digi stamp. And aren't those bubbles cute? <br />
