Thinking of you

Happy Thursday.  How is everyone doing today? Usually after doing a project I have cut up pieces of paper left over. I hate to throw them away so I kept them with hopes to use them some day.  So what do you do with your left over paper?  Please share with me how you organize your paper.  Mine is out of control and I would love some tips.  I made today's card using some of the left over paper from the photo album I share earlier in the week.    

I stamped "Thinking of you" onto the butterfly
tag and attached it to the background paper of the card. 

The paper has glitter on the left side. Can you see it?

I used a die cut for the leaves. The flower was to
white so I added some distress ink to it. 

This is one of many tags in the DCWV Primrose  paper packet. 

Have a super great day!

Happy Labor Day!

Good Morning Everyone.  Hope you're enjoying your day off from work. Today's posting has lots of pictures.  Sorry for such a long posting. I finally finished this photo album.  I started this album sometime last year.  To tell you the truth I have three albums in the works right now that I started last year. I get the base of the albums done but never follow through with the decorating part.  In fact on this photo album, I left the pages just  the way they were without adding embellishments except for the cover.  I guess I could always go back and add some....hahaha

This is the front of the book.
The paper packet I used is from Joann's
DCWA-The Primrose Stack.  It has lots of
glitter paper and tags.  Although I only used
one tag in the album.

The flowers are from Recollections and I used a
 die-cut to cut out leafs and swirls.  I left the label blank so
the person who receives/buys the book can
add their name or a subject to match the pictures. 

Side of the Album.
I added a flower and some charms.

First page of the inside.
 Each page is the same. They each have a pocket
 with an insert and a pull out tap at the top. 

I attached a fold-out insert to the inside covers
of the album.

This is what one of the inserts looks like.  Both
sides have pattern paper to add pictures or journaling.

The page on the left is the only page I used a tag.
A picture can be inserted into the tag.  

Here is one of the pull out tag insert along with
a two page fold out.  

All the inserts and pull out tags have pattern
paper on both sides.  I also used Tim Holtz inks
to distress all the pages. 

The album measures 7 X 5 inches so the 5 X 7
photos will fit nicely without much trimming. 

Here the insert and tap are inside the pockets.
Below they are pulled out. 

Last page.

I didn't show you the whole book because you would be here all day.  (I am sure you are glad for that...Hee Hee!!) Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy your week!  God Bless.

Hola!!

How is everyone doing?  Wonderful I hope.  I made it a point to spend some time in my craft room last Sunday.  It was so nice to be back in there playing.  I was so excited I didn't even know where to start..hee hee.  I decided to make a card for my sister Renee who lives in AZ.  This stamp  reminds me of her....Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it. 

I used Prismacolor markers on the left card (red hat) and
Prismacolor pencils on the right card. (pink hat).

Don't you just love this stamp.  She looks all sassy and
ready to have some fun! I think Renee has glasses
like that.....

Thanks for stopping by today!!!

Wedding Card

Happy Tuesday.  How was your weekend?  Did your first week of school go well? Today's card is a wedding card I made for my son and daughter-in-law's wedding.   I hope to have pictures of the wedding to share with you soon.  

Using an embossing folder along with a heart die cut,
I ran both through the big shot to cutout and emboss
at the same time.  I wasn't sure if it would work but it did.

I attached the embossed CS over one of the
extra invites with Brittny and James' name.

The birds are cut using the SU bird punch. 

Inside the card. 

Have a super great week!

Just For You

Hello! How is everyone doing today? Hope your having a super great day.  Today I am sharing a card design I saw on Splitcoaststampers.  The tutorial was by Beate Johns-Side Spring Card.  Maybe you've seen this card design already but it's new to me and I liked the shape of it. 

The rectangle part of the card measures 4.5 x 3 so
it's a smaller than the average card.

This flower is made out of a "Sewing Pattern".
It's  like using tissue paper. I made it at a
flower making workshop.

I stamped the "Just for You".

Inside of the card.  

Here is a side view of the card. 

The card is made by using a 5.5 x 8.5 piece of
cardstock scored and folded. 

Thanks for stopping by today.  Enjoy your day!
