Pause Dream Enjoy Challenge #3 - Vacation

Hello!

Janis over at Pause Dream Enjoy is hosting another challenge, and this week the theme is 'vacation'.  I made a quick little card to give to someone before they go away!  Maybe on their honeymoon, or something fun like that.  I used my Stampin' Up! Tropical Party stamp set for the image and sentiment.

Hope you like it!

Video - File Folder Mini Album

Hello!

Here is the second part to the gift I made for my friend to give a friend who had a baby (haha - hillarious sentence).  You can see the first part of the gift here. 
In this post I have a video showing how I create my file folder mini albums.  I showed the first one I ever made in my very first video.  I had a few questions about how I put it together, so you can find all the details in todays video!  I hope you like it!  I used Papertrey Ink's Top Ten, and Top Ten Additions stamp sets for my images, and sentiments.  Lettering stamps are from a set from Walmart - forget the company that makes them.

Hope you like it!

Album for Baby Maxx

Hello!

I just completed a mini album that I made for a friend to give as a gift.  Her friend recently had a baby boy, and she asked me if I could put something together for her.  I do not know the family at all (of the girl that had the baby), so I thought something basic would be perfect.  I found this ADORABLE patterned paper pack at Winners of all places, and thought it would be perfect for this project.  Hope you like it!  Please check back tomorrow for the second part of the gift - a mini brag book, with accompanying video showing how I put it together!

Video # 20 - Distressed Flowers

Hello!

I made a new video tutorial (FINALLY!) showing how I made some super cute distressed flowers to use on a few projects. These are so fun and easy to make and I think I am kind of addicted to them at the moment. After making them I put together a quick card, and super simple scrapbook page that is ready to go whenever I find the perfect pictures for it! Pictures of the projects are below the video.  They show just how quickly a simple project can go together, as well as how easy it is to use the same products for both scrapbooking and card manking.

Hope you like everything!

PDE Challenge #1 - Artists Trading Cards

Hello!

Today I am participating in my bloggy friend Janis's challenge that she has posted over on her blog Pause Dream Enjoy.  She is challenging us to create our own Artists Trading Cards (ATC), which are typically a  2 1/2 by 3 1/2 card which you decorate with your favourite techniques!

This is my first ever ATC, and it is quick and simple (just like most of my other papercrafting - haha).  It features a strawberry cricut cut (sent to me by none other than Janis herself!), with some supercute yellow flowered patterned paper, a bit of gingham riboon, and a simple sentiment...sweet (Papertrey Ink Cupcake Collection)!

This is a super fun and easy way to get out some of your creative juices when you don't have a whole lot of time...and an easy way to start using up some of those scraps we all know you are saving.

Hope you like it!

Happy Mother's Day

Hello!

I just wanted to take a moment to wish a very Happy Mother's Day to all of the momma's out there!  I was fortunate enough to be able to spend time with my mom this weekend.  We live in different cities, and she came down to visit me for a few days (a bit backwards I think.  aren't I supposed to go visit her?!).  Haha.  Anyway, we had a great weekend together, shopping, eating, and watching movies - some of our favourite things to do together (she doesn't scrapbook OR card-make....GASP!) 

I do hope all of you momma's are having an extra special day!
