Ok so I thought Umbrella Day was this Wednesday and turns out it was last. Feb. 10th... I love drawing and designing umbrellas with paper. I was commissioned to do some illustrations for a 5th grade science book a few months back. Not only was I excited to be doing the illustrations but one of the illustrations was for some simple umbrellas. Since it is still February, I figured it is still ok to share my enthusiasm for Umbrella Day.

Hope everyone has a great Valentines Day Sunday! I finally had a chance to post a few project I have been working on. All the paper is Basic Grey. To make this bird I just looked at one of Basic Grey illustration and turned into a larger paper image. The tag I used for this was pulled out of some of my old stash. It is a Little Black Dress Design Unbutton. I inked it, sanded and then stamped my image. I sure miss LBDD products. They have so many possibilities.

Here are some more gifts I made for my grandma and sister in laws. The house is a journal. The paper I used is from Cosmo Cricket. The house is from a chipboard Maya Road book. The Maya Road book had about 6 chipboard house pages to the book. I took it apart and used just 2 of the chipboard pages. One for front and one for back. Then I custom cut the blank pages inside book. These books are blank cookbooks. The papers are from Cosmo Cricket and Basic Grey. The chef is from Stampin' Up. Dies are from QuicKutz. I just used extra chipboard I had for these books. I bound it with the Bind it All coils from Zutter. Tricia
