New Mini Album!

Here is my latest mini album. I love it because there is space left between the pages so even the puffiest flowers don't get smashed! I love this paper too - it is just beautiful! :) Kits are available in my Etsy shop here:

Flaunt It Fridays March 18

It's blog hop week at Flaunt it Fridays! You should have arrived here from Jenny K's blog. If not, click here to start at the beginning. Don't forget about this week's prize - a stamp set from Peachy Keen! To enter, you must leave a comment on the FIF blog and then at every stop on the hop. You won't be disappointed - these ladies all have awesome projects to share with you this week!

The cartridge we are flaunting this week is Birthday Bash. For our first project, we are to use the bunny with the present on page 27 of the handbook. Our other project could use any cut from the cartridge - I used a bunch of them!! :)

Here is my bunny tag. I used the bunny on the front and his present on the back. The present swivels on a brad to hide your note!

My next project is a mini album. The paper collection, I guess, was intended to represent birthday celebrations. But, I thought I would like to celebrate everything in this mini album. The pages are the banners cut from the Birthday Bash cartridge, minus the holes. The title is also cut from the same cartridge. Inside are different banners that read "celebrate life", "celebrate love", and "celebrate family". These small banners are cut from the Country Life cartridge.

Now you are off to Corri's blog. Enjoy the rest of the hop and thanks for stopping by!

Spring is here! Well, almost...

I don't know about everyone else but I'm desperately in need of spring! :)  So, I made this mini album with the hope that it would help to coax the flowers and warmth that I associate with the end of winter. This mini has 6 chipboard pages that measure 5.5 x 7", a ton of flowers, and beautiful spring colors!

Another Tag Mini Album

This one is in black and ivory. This mini is also done with canvas and acetate pages - I'm really loving those lately! :)

Flaunt it Fridays Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Flaunt it Fridays Hello Kitty blog hop!! You should have arrived from Cheryl's blog - if not, click here to start at the beginning. For this week's challenge we were asked to flaunt the Hello Kitty with Airplane on Page 65 from the Hello Kitty Greetings Cart. So, for my challenge project, I decided to do a mini album. I cut the pages using the shadow function and used just the airplane portion of the cut. I then created the tags out of another Hello Kitty cut so the could slide into the pocket created by the airplane. :)

For my second project, I used the heart with the wings cut from page 51. I used the card function and the layers. I wanted to do this project using non-traditional Hello Kitty colors. :)

Check out this video for more info on my projects:

You must leave a comment on everyone's blog to have a chance to win the Grand Prize Giveaway which is the Love Always stamp set sponsored by Pink By Design. The grand prize will be on Sandra's blog!

Polymer Clay Fence Technique

Here is a technique that I am using on the cover of a Halloween haunted house mini album. I used polymer clay, a mold, and some paint to make a spooky looking fence for a mini album.

Completed paper bag album for baby

Here is the completed paper bag album that I used in the ribbon binding tutorial. I also demonstrate how I made the tiny book that was inside the paper bag album.

Ribbon Binding Tutorial Video

Here is a tutorial video for how to bind a paper bag mini album in a chipboard cover. This was the same binding technique that I used on the Mariposa album that I posted earlier this week. I had a couple of inquiries on my YouTube channel about how this was done, so here it is. :)

Mariposa Mini Album

Here is a paper bag mini album that I created using black paper bags. The cover is constructed out of chipboard covered with black cardstock. The book is bound using a piece of ribbon that holds the paper bags to the cover.

Remy's Mini Album

Here is a mini album that I made of Remy (our doggie) using a premade chipboard album from the $1 section at Michael's.

All About Me - mini album

Here is the video on the basic construction of this mini album I made using pages cut from a Sizzix die. It also includes some helpful hints about working with premade chipboard album pages.
