Personalized gift bags

New product available in my Etsy shop! Personzalized DIY gift bags for your special occasion. Included in this purchase are personalized printables for you to create your own custom favor bags. Create your own packaging using any color paper you wish.

For creating a white package, I prefer to use matte photo paper. This is the paper I prefer. It is affordable and a great weight for creating gift bags. The colors really pop on this paper versus using regular white cardstock. It is available on Amazon for a good price.

New Printable 50 State Embellishment Set

This new set of printable embellishments is now available in my shop. It includes the 50 States + DC - one set in assorted colors and one in grey. How cute would these be in your travel journals or layouts? Each circle is sized at 2.25 inches. They are super easy to use - just print them out and cut with scissors or punch them out using a 2" circle punch! Use them in your personal projects as many times as you want!

Stay tuned for projects using these embellishments and some helpful hints for working with printables. Have a great weekend!

Adjustable binding for a mini album

I wanted to create a mini album that had a lot of pockets so I thought a paper bag mini album would be appropriate. The problem was that I wasn't sure how many pages I would need. I didn't want to use binding rings because I really wanted something different. So, this is what I came up with - an adjustable binding using elastic and a swivel clasp. To see how I created this book, please check out the video tutorial. :)

Project Life May 13-19

Here is my latest project life layout... I'm a little behind...  :) I used the Everyday Eclectic collection by Echo Park - definitely one of my all time favorites. I had a lot of large photos to work with this week so these page protectors worked out well. Thanks for stopping by!
