Here is another mini album I created using We R Memory Keepers~Grandma's Kitchen stack. I added a lot of Prima flowers and embellishments from this paper stack. This is one of my favorite albums because there are many fold out tags for lots of journaling and photos. I used the Sentiments cartridge to cut out the shape of the album. I simply used cereal boxes for the chipboard.

Here is a recipe book that I made for a gift. I covered some chip board with K & Company Classic K Charlotte paper. I love this paper because it is super vintage. I cut out some divider tags on my Cricut using the From My Kitchen cartridge.  I purchased the recipe cards from Michael's in the dollar bin. I added some coordinating ribbon on the outside rings.

Paper Flowers

Here are a few paper flowers I created using a couple of different techniques. I just loves these. I can't wait to use them in a mini album soon.

Altered Composition Books

I LOVE to alter things. Here are a few composition books that I altered. These are great for gifts to teachers!

Breast Cancer Awareness

                             I used the Summer in Paris Cartridge and Gypsy Font.

This Little Piggy Went to Market

Here is a last minute card I made today. I love this pig from the From My Kitchen cartridge. He is so stinkin cute!

                                          The sign and the fence came from the Sentimental cart.
                                           

                                           The card came from the Create A Critter Cartridge.

Anniversary Trip Mini Album

Here is a mini album/travelogue that I created a few months back and wanted to share. It is one of my favorite creations because a lot of time, love, and thought went into it. The album is a collection of photos from our trip this past April to celebrate our anniversary.

I painted, inked, and misted the grunge board which served as the cover to my album.

I added lots of ribbon and fibers to the outside of the rings. I punched the holes with my big bite.

                                         
                                              I wanted this album to be super chunky!

                              I used a lot of K &Company embellishments in this album.

                                           Lots of pockets and envelopes were added for journals.

                                            Here I added some lace and doilies.

                                             I used the Sentimentals Cricut cartridge all throughout this album.

                                           

                                          Prima flowers and the word love that is written on canvas.

                                           More cuts from Sentimentals as well as a stamp. I inked these

                                           cuts and utee'd them. I love the texture!

                                          Here is a beautiful Bible verse. I distressed the paper

                                          by crumbling it up and inking it and tearing the edges.

                                          I added the butterfly that I misted with homemade glimmer mist.

                                          A folder that opens to a Greek Proverb.

                                          I love this Post card from the Sentimentals cartridge. It

                                          is great for journals.

First Day of School Mini

Here is a mini I created a few weeks ago for my twins first day of Kindergarten. I used a school house chipboard from Michael's (It is just a house) And the Grade School stack by DCWV.

I painted some chipboard letters I had laying around and added some embellishments from my craft station. I believe a lot of them came from K and Company.

                                                  I added lots of ribbon and buttons.

            I used the Locker Talk Cricut Cartridge to add this clock. It even has hands that move around the dial. It is held in place by a brad in the middle of the clock.                             

 

                                          The green ribbon unties and opens to more journal spots.

                  The jornal tag behind the clock is a scrap piece of paper that I

                                           added the EK Success spiral/notebook punch down the side.
                                           

Just a note

I haven't felt much like crafting, or should I say I haven't had the time since the twins are out of school for the week. I had a chance to throw together this card while everyone was napping.

From the Sentimentals cartridge I cut out this cute owl. I used my Hero Arts "Just a Note" sentiment and some ribbon from Michael's. I used the DCWV Bon Voyage paperstack.

Create A Critter

The Create A Critter still continues to be one of my favorite carts. I felt like scrapbooking last night to finish up a summer trip to the zoo with the kids. I made an extra zebra to also create a card. I love to do this because I never know if I am going to have time later on to craft.

I also used paisley ribbon from Michael's, the Paisley embossing folder for the Cuttlebug, Pink perfect pearls on the embossed images, and a Hero Arts stamp set for the sentiment.
