New design team!!!!

 I'm happy to announce that I have joined a new eBay design team called, The Paper Hen House! (I'm sure you have heard of them :) Just type in TPHH on ebay, and you'll be blown away! Never have I seen as much variety and creativity, all in one place...they really are a lovely bunch of ladies!! If had me bookmarked with PFOP before, it's time to update :)

Where has this week gone to? I listed some albums, a week flew by, now I'll blog about them too :)
I love how the cover of this first album came out! Papers for this paper bag album are from the Random collection, by Crate Paper.
 
Once in a while...I'll have no clue what to do for a cover, then it dawns on me, make it quilted! well it looks like a quilt, but i just weaved strips of paper together :) It's the perfect way to use up some scraps too! I also made the fabric flowers, and the chipboard "moments" where cut on my cricut. I must need a new blade..I had to sand the edges of these to make them "oc" quality. :) I like the tiny highlight of white around each one anyway. The tiny like letter stickers are by October Afternoon. These are my most favorite!!!! I am growing  quite the collection of "other brands" letter stickers, because I always go for OA first! They have a  matte finish and are perfectly sized :) 
 Each page has a tiny journal spot, and many have more handmade flowers :)
 
 
 
 It ends tonight on ebay, so check out the entire album right HERE!

The second album, is a handmade chipboard binder album. 50%  of the winning bid goes to Susan G. Komen to help the fight against Breast Cancer!!! 
 
 This album is full of handmade flowers too! 
 
The beautiful rolled flowers are by the talented Tammy. I LOVE these flowers...they are perfectly sized for all sorts of paper crafting projects!! Check out her Etsy store and pick yourself up some!!  ILOVETHIS
In trying to follow through with a bit of a country theme for this album, I used tea dyed denim for making some of the flowers, and they turned out so sweet!! I used frayed fabric for the closer ribbons, and even tied a little grapevine wreath to the spine.
This album also ends on ebay tonight. Check it out HERE!! 
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great week :)

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...
