Cherish-A Mini Chipboard Album

Thank you for your comments on my last post. Following this years theme: Broaden, I have

started a new crafty adventure by making and selling mini books and scrapbook pages. I do consider myself a paper crafter, I almost have all the scrapbook tools known to man yet in the past I had some kind of hang up when it came to traditional scrapbooking. I finally got over my hang-up and created some.  I even made my first You Tube video! This is a pocket, hidden hinge, chipboard mini album.

Its completely made from hand and stitched. I really had a lot of fun putting it together. It took me forever! I believe the paper I used was My Minds Eye.   The book is available  on Ebay.  I also have two layouts and another mini album available. I will show you those in another post. Thanks for stopping by!

 

 



Happy Spring

                                             

Happy Spring! I think here in Texas we skipped Spring and went right into summer. We have already had temps in the 90's here. All the trees have already lost there blooms and leafed out. I have been doing a lot of yard work, getting ready to plant veggies, and spring cleaning. The pretty weather inspired this card. Hope your day is filled with spring flowers and warm weather!

I Heart Eggs

I have been waiting forever for this! Ever since I got chickens I have been wanting to offer pretty blown eggs in my shop. Well finally all my chickens are laying eggs. When deciding what breeds of chickens to get I chose them by there eggs. Yes I love eggs that much! I wanted a variety of colors and shades. I love to decorate them and decorate with them! Of course this is the perfect time of year to do so. But, I decorate with mine year around. Not only did I want the perfect egg colors but the perfect little egg carton. I finally found it. Its just so cute and just right to decorate. Did you know you can stamps eggs? You can also use scrapbook rubons on them. And of course you can cover them in glitter, paint them, bling them up, and pile them into pretty, vintage bowls. I'm so excited to be able to share them with you! You can find them here.

Make It Mondays

Its Make It Monday at Papertrey Ink today. The challenge today is make glitter strips using Score Tape. I just recently discovered score tape. I have to say I'm hooked. I really love it. I use it for glitter, ribbons, buttons, and small pieces of paper. I was thrilled when I saw today’s challenge. I already had all my glitter and glitter supplies out. I have been making Glittered Spring Butterflies to add to my shop.(coming soon). The second I started to watch the Make it Monday video I knew what I was going to make. I am now happily covered in glitter!
*I have not been compensated in any way for this post. I'm just hoping to win stamps! ;)
