Few new albums... and a few re-lists!

Finally I have something listed on ebay! I finished up a couple albums last week, but just couldn't get them listed!
First up, I have to show you a Hannah Montana Star shaped album. I made it with a little bitty kit I got from Micheal's. A few flowers & charms and ribbons & fibers later, I had a cute little keepsake album any Hannah fan would love!
 I also finished up two smallish albums that I actually have had cut, bagged up and ready to go for many months. I named them both "Memories", and they are both made with My Minds Eye papers. On the teal one, I used primas pretty flower gems for the centers of some of the flowers and printed the memories title the little word blocks on each page, using a 50's style font.

The other is done in pink, red, and brown colored papers. The cover title was printed in a country font. Some of the pages have a pull out tag for journaling or an extra picture. It features white felt swirl accents and my very own pocket full of posies creation.

Next is two albums I'm re listing. I never posted on them, so why not show them off now?! The first is an acrylic album, made with the Delight line from fancy pants. I really lost my mind using these papers! They were very busy, and it was kinda tricky to find perfectly matching flowers etc. That added to the complexity of see thru pages... I was not too surprised the first time around when it never sold. Then I made another using the rest of the papers and didn't like it any better! To my complete surprise though, it sold last week for over $100! Isn't it *funny*just when the ones that could be your least favorite are just perfect in someone else's eyes?!

My second re list is a road trip album I listed earlier this summer. I used little epoxy stickers for the flower centers, and think it was a neat & different way to pull it all together. I used all different shaped pages, the cover being a hand designed and cut road sign shape.
Well this has been one loooong post! Check out the rest of the pictures at: http://shop.ebay.com/ocbrandy/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=

I love how vibrant your colors are on the road trip mini. I also like the idea for the Hannah Montana mini. I have 2 little girls and I was thinking about using Wizards of Waverly place for 1.... TOO CUTE!

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!

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...
