Paper crafting... ocbrandy style!

 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 t...

Whoa! I just about made a BIG mistake....well it probably would have been more embarrassing than anything :) How fast can you find it???  LOL!

I was so bummed :( I mean that's a good one. Not a misspelled word, not something a little crooked, or even those little glitches in the sewing.... So, here is what it should look like of course :)        I had a lot of fun making this one. There's nothing better than having it just go together so smoothly...lol :) Have a peek on EBAY ! Thanks for looking! :)

Hi there! Just wanted to share a couple of my most recently created albums for ebay.   The first is a rustic looking paper bag album done with the Restoration collection by Crate Paper. I made most of the flowers in ths album from a few of my daughters old shirts :) By dyeing them with distress ink and glimmer mists, I turned white to just right! I'm also growing an obsession with old buttons...just love 'em :)       The second album is a tiny 4x4.5 chipboard album.   Since my albums are usually so chunky, I made this one with leftover pages from a couple of Maya Road binder albums. I used the last of the last of my 5 & Dime collection from October Afternoon. I LOVE October Afternoon....the patterns on their papers just always seem to be perfectly sized, shaped, and placed.  I made every flower in this album too.     I cut the tiny flowers from OA paper misted them to get them just a little bit wet, then made them rounded by pus...
