Live Laugh Love

Happy Friday to you!  Hope your having a great day! I had some black CS pieces left over from the wedding invites I made, so I am going to try and use it up.   I made this card using that black CS along with some gold CS.

The butterfly and the gold flower design behind
the butterfly are both die cuts. 

I added glitter and bling to the butterfly.

Live-Laugh-Love is a CTMH stamp.

Have a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend! God Bless.

Flower Photo Pot

For Mother's Day every year I usually make a little something for all the Mother's in my family. This year I was so busy making my son's wedding invites that Mother's Day sneaked up on me.  Thank goodness I purchased handmade Mother's Day cards at the craft fair a couple of weeks ago.  I  did manage to make this flower pot filled with our granddaughter Tessa's pictures.  My daughter-in-law Rena loved it.

Using acrylic paints I added Tessa's footprint to the
flower pot.  I punched out different facial expressions
of Tessa and glued them to punched flowers. 

I added a butterfly body to the foot prints to create
a blue butterfly. 

Here is a close up of the Tessa's pictures. 

We are so enjoying our precious Tessa! By the way I finished the wedding invites.  Yeah!!!

Photo Album

Happy Monday to you!  Here is a photo album I made for Debbie a wonderful friend.  She was part of the Wednesday Ladies Night Out group.  She is a very talented crafter.  She makes the most beautiful photo albums and cards.  Debbie hope you had a wonderful birthday!!  I found this photo album on Pinterest and followed the tutorial on this blog: "Unique Scrappiness"   uniquescrappiness.com.  It's a wonderful step by step tutorial. 

The paper pack is from Recollections.

The flowers are from Paper Studio. 

Here is what it looks like opened and on its side.
The fold out accordion flap holds ten photos.
It also has pocket inserts for more pictures. 

A pocket was added to every other panel. 

This paper packet came with pre-printed labels for
pictures and/or journaling. 

I didn't add any type of embellishments I felt the
paper spoke for itself. 

These photo album books are fun to make.  Have a wonderful day!

Happy Birthday

Happy Friday to you! Today I am sharing a birthday card I made using die cuts and glitter paper. I was cleaning up my craft room.  (A scary thing to do....LOL)  I came across this glitter paper from CTMH that I forgot I had.  Image that....forgetting that I had purchased and not used something....Hee Hee I am sure that has never happen to you......  Of course I went to Pinterest for inspiration and made this Birthday card. 

The "Happy Birthday" was cut with a die from
Elizabeth craft designs. Using the SU framelits dies
I cut the banners.  

Not sure where the stars are from. 

This glitter paper is beautiful. 

Hope you find time for crafting this weekend.  Thanks for stopping by!

Masculine Graduation Card

Hello!  How is everyone today?  I saw this card design on Pinterest and liked it for a masculine graduation card.  My daughter-in-law's brother graduated from UNM this past weekend and I thought this would be a great card for him.  

The best thing about this card it's not your
traditional graduation card or colors.

I used Tom Holtz distressing inks for all the edges.

Have a Fabulous Day!
