Photo Album Kit

I'm pleased to announce my first Photo Album kit for sale on Etsy.  These kits will go ons sale tomorrow.   I only have 8 kits, so if you are intersted, Click Now.  It's been quite a while since I've made a photo wallet so today I grabbed this gorgeous K&Company paper pack (Carolyn Gavin - Greenhouse) that has been taking up space in my closet and quickly got to work.  The colors make me so very happy!  I love the earthy olives, browns mixed with the bright pinks, oranges and blues.  In these winter months, this brings a lot of sunshine into my heart.  These photo albums would make a perfect keepsake for yourself or a wonderful gift for someone you love.

Close Up of my friend "Owl"

Inspired by Lilibee, I designed my pop up book to be a stand alone centerpiece. Each side features it's own theme, this way you can select pictures accordingly, whether they are taken from the same event or not.  What a great way to honor someone in your family, a friend, or use as a gift for someone else to cherish!  Speaking of a gift, this special pop up book is going to be wrapped up in love and sent to my very good friend Karen in WA.  I met Karen when I was pregnant with my second son and she was the original inspiration that helped me get in touch with my own creativity!  We've been friends for just under 6 years now and even though I don't live in WA anymore, our friendship has not changed!  Love ya girl!  Thanks for looking, I hope you like this!
Materials Used:  Cosmo Crickets Ever After Patterned Paper, DCWV The Green Stack Chipboard , Zig Writer for outlines, Pop Dots, Cosmo Cricket Rub-ons, Rhinestones, Assorted Stampin' Up! Punches for flowers, EK Success Tag Punch

Valentine Scrapbooks now on Etsy

Yesterday I went to the craft store to purchase some stickers and paper for my boys Valentine boxes and I came across the most adorable Bo Bunny "Love Bandit/LoveUDeerly" collection!  I had to have it!  I bought some papers, stickers and cardstock sheets and quickly assembled these 2 albums.  The whimsical little forest friends are so adorable!  They have little raccoons, squirrels, birds, deer and even bugs and the sentiments are so sweet.  I've added some stitching on many of the inside pages, popped up stickers and other elements for a 3 dimensional feel.  There are 16 pages to add your favorite photos, journaling and other memorabilia. These are both for sale on my Etsy site where you can view all the interior pages and pullout tags.  Enjoy!

OLD GUYS RULE!

Last night, my husband and I decided to get really crazy...we stayed up really late...yes, past 10pm (grin), I know...sad.

While he was on his computer, I sat comfortably in my craft room looking at an old calendar I had scrapbooked when I spotted a picture of dad on a Harley.  No he doesn't actually have a Harley, honestly, I'm not even sure if he knows how to ride one, but it was a pretty fantastic picture!

Thinking of that picture inspired me to create a book dedicated to "Old Guys" in our lives.  Don't get me wrong, my dad isn't old, just refined (your welcome dad).   Anyhow, this scrapbook is hilarious!  I'm putting 2 of these out on my etsy site for sale if you are interested.  The captions inside are great!   I think my favorite is "The Older I get, The Better I Was".

Froggy Love Valentine - Mini Mailbox

This is a sneak peak of what I'm shipping out for an ETSY customer tomorrow.   I can't get enough of this cute little froggy! It's hard to tell in this picture, but there is a lot of glitter on the froggy itself, as well as on the inside sentiments (not pictured).  This little mailbox contains some yummy candies and a tiny note card.  I hope the girls who are receiving this will LOVE it!

New Mini Mailboxes - Lauren gets first pick

Here is a quick glimpse at the last of my mini mailboxes that I will be posting on Etsy today.  These miniature sized mailboxes are the perfect gift for that special someone!  Not only can you add your own  note, you can also add candies, toys, money (ha ha) or practically anything that might just fit inside.  If your interested in purchasing one of your own, please visit my new Etsy site.

Happy Valentines Day!
