Custom Order for a special friend

This past weekend I created 4 Scrapbooks for a good friend Mary Beth so she could give these as gifts to her Godchildren and family.  How sweet is that!  I had such a great time putting them all together and it was especially fun to customize these books for each child based on their interests.  Mary Beth, thanks for thinking of me - I hope they LOVE their new books!

Handmade Valentines for my guys: Love You, Key To My Heart, Wild About You!

Love You Card - K&Company "Handmade" Specialty Paper and accessories

I raved about this paper pack yesterday, but after using many of the pieces I can't say enough good about it!  I think my husband will love his Valentines Day card this year.  I kept his card pretty simple using some grand adhesions, pop dots, patterned paper and die cut shapes.  I printed out one of my favorite photos to use as the focal point.  Here's a pic of the full card:

For the boys cards, I added some hand stitching using Stampin' Up! linen thread and used stitching templates from both  Stampin' Up! mat pack and  In Stitch'z by Bazill.  For my photos, I adjusted the color hue and saturation to give them a softer more vintage look.  The "Key to my heart" card features an acrylic overlay that is just magnificent!  Did you get your paper packs yet?

K&Company "Handmade" Paper Pack - What would you do?

Yes, I'm a HUGE fan of K&Company - I have to admit, their collections of paper, stickers, layered accents, embellishments, border strips, ephemera, alphabets, fibers, ribbons and not to mention fabric swatches are simply amazing! Just when I think they couldn't possibly get any better...out comes a new release just to prove they really know how to outdo themselves!  Look at this gorgeous collection called "Handmade"! Run, don't walk and pick this up yourself, you'll be so happy you did!  Or visit  "What's New" on the K&Company website. I'm going to be working on some valentines this evening for my boys using this collection.

Friends Forever Card

Ok, I have to admit, I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE earth tones (chocolate browns, olive green, turquoise, deep reds) and this paper pack is full of the colors that make me so happy!  This super simple card features K&Company's "Wild Saffron" cardstock collection, as well as a nice chipboard element (popped up for dimension).  I added some satin, blue ribbon with a little flair and stitching to finish the piece.   This card is going to find a nice home back in WA to one of my good friends.  Hope she loves it!
