"the little things"

I didn't get to this last night as planned, but alas I have album #2 completed from the Lillian line by Crate Paper!
I will be listing this cutie tonight on ebay, so keep an eye out. I am going to try to list every couple days instead of only once a week and see what it brings.

As I've said before, am not only a member of the phenomenal Making Lemonade Design Team on eBay but I am also a member of the Accent Scrapbooking Design Team. It's a small group and we are still working out the kinks, but I have loved working with the acrylic pieces they have to offer.
So in between projects, I used up a few of my left overs to help me create this one of a kind flower chipboard album!


The cover has the individually hand cut petals as my last flower album did. I used an acrylic circle for the center, and used cardstock stickers to name it, "the little things". i love the dimension you get with acrylic in between the background and the letters! Since I'm a big chicken and don't want to goof anything up with any other stamping, I just kissed the edge of the circle with white stazon ink... just enough to highlight it.

Yes, this one's full of them kooky lil birds also! The front and back are flower shaped, there's part of a circle, an acrylic rectangle, a square, and a tag in all.
I love the challenge of the different sized and shape pages. You have to plan ahead to make sure they will accentuate each other. I think it turned out pretty good! I'd love to hear any comments or suggestions you might have! Thanks for letting me share! :)


***Before I close, I just have to take a moment and share a new Favorite seller on ebay. These last two albums would not be nearly as pretty if I had not stumbled on the FABULOUS primas flowers I got from the seller angbankosh! Her store, Island Scrapbooking, is full of primas as well as centers, papers, stamps... all sorts of pretty goodies. But the condition and variety of her primas will definitely keep me coming back for more! They were all flawless. Her shipping was fast, cheap, and safe too. So whether you need one or two packs, or ten or twelve, you won't go broke on those dreaded shipping charges! I can't wait to shop there again!***

ReneaBouquets November Swap- Mini Clipboard Calendar

I'm here today to share the project I made for the ReneaBouquets NOVEMBER swap! We had lots of fun doing with the Altered Mini Clipboard Calendar swap last year, so lets do it again! I have loved having the beautiful one I got from my partner out in my craft space all year. The one I am sharing today was created with so much ReneaBouquets goodness. Flowers and B Boards....and of course those little butterfly masterpieces we all love! I printed the calendar pages from a spot I found by Googling: "Free Mini Printable Calendar 2020" There are also tons to choose from on Etsy! I hope you find my project inspiring and can come join in on the fun!!  Here's a process video to get your creative juices flowing:) Here's everything I used on this project from ReneaBouquets: Beautiful Board Grid Elements Laser Cut Chipboard Tim Holtz Idea-ology Mini Clip Board Beautiful Board Medium Autumn Flourish Pattern Beautiful Board Small Victor...

GOT CARDS?

I'm a little late as usual posting, but I have great news! I've been inspired to once again make a few cards! After making thousands of handmade greeting cards, most of which were sold on eBay, I suddenly grew tired of making them. I'm sure a new baby (my second child), many life changes, and of course my interest in mini albums, just drained me of my card making mojo. This week Pocket Full Of Papers is having a handmade greeting card challenge that is part of the Holiday Shoppe we're hosting this month. Be sure to search PFOP on eBay to see all the handmade paper goodies and designer handmade cards,we have to offer this week!  I had no idea when I started making a couple cards for the challenge I would end up with a whopping 25 so far! Some of them really have a lot of my "oc" designs, like bouquets, or tiny flowers adorning a fence. Something new for me in cardmaking has been machine sewing many of the layers. I love on cards just as much as on al...

Let's Go A Haunting!

I love Halloween, it's one of my favorite holidays. Fall comes in colors of red, orange, brown...then BAM, Halloween comes and throws in purple and black and green, making for one of the most awesome color pallets! Tonight I listed my first Halloween album. I like the horizontal rectangle, it gives great little layouts just the right room. This paper line is called Haunted by Cosmo Cricket. Yeah, I LOVE me some Cosmo Cricket!! The paper pack comes with awesome stickers, so you can't help but spend the extra $$$ and get the chipboard shapes that the stickers fit perfectly over top of! After all that careful tracing, cutting, gluing, and of course finally sanding every edge, I had one pretty neat album to fill :) I have to point out one funny thing... this dang little swirl is suppose to show the bats flight pattern right? I made it from one straight row of connected pearls and it was soooo hard to get it right! LOL! I love how this page turned out, I cut that leafy-vine-flourish...
