Simple Stories Vintage Lakeside Trifold Album

 So excited to share my first DT project for Aall Scrapbook Essentials @aallscrapbookessentials. For this project, I used two things - the Graphic 45 Trifold Waterfall Folio album and Simple Stories Simple Vintage Lakeside Collector's Essential Kit. This was so much fun to make and just in time to feature all those summertime memories. What I love about this project is how easily it came together - something that can be done in a day so perfect for that last minute gift. Because the album is premade, all you have to do is decorate!!!

 Okay I did it again - this month's DT project for Ephemoire Digital Design #ephpop is an exploding gift box with TWO mini albums! Because why have 1 when you can have two!! The base is one album, and the LID turns into an album, too! I used the Daisy and Denim collection and can't wait to give this one as a gift.

So many places for pictures!!

Get Buzzy Desk Top Idea Centre

Time to get buzzy with my latest DT project for Ephemoire Digital Design #ephpop. I created this idea center for my desk to keep track of all of the ideas swirling around in my head.

The notepad is filled with coffee dyed papers that are perforated for easy removal. Simply undo the ribbon and refill once all the pages are used up.

Along with the notepad is a album for project pictures and a folio to hold the bits and pieces.

Check out my video walk-thru video for all of the cool details!

Garden Wagon and Mini Album

Hello everyone.  Here is the video walkthrough of my latest  design team project for Ephemorie Digital Designs.  Hope you enjoy it.  I used the Tranquil Cottage collection to create the adorable little wagon and  mini album.  The front of the mini album hosts one of the Nested Folders stuffed with elements from the ephemera set. The album is full of interactive pages and tuck spots. I also turned the nested folders into little booklets complete with journaling spots and altered paperclips. To alter the paperclips I used various elements from the ephemera sampler and backed them with sheets from Tranquil Cottage #1 and #2 as to eliminate any white paper showing.

The Scrap Hovel

Good morning everyone!!!  Today I wanted to show my craft room or Scrap Hovel as I like to call it.  This is my sanctuary.  It is not a huge a space but it works for me and I wanted to share as I love seeing other craft spaces.  Have a great day and I look forward to seeing your comments.

Love Notes

Hello everyone!!!

I just wanted to share a few pictures of the anniversary present I made my husband - we have been together 32 years and simply put I love that boy.  I was very touched when my husband shared pictures of his gift on Facebook - the comments and outpouring from everyone have been amazing.

For this project I used a Graphic 45 Travel Journal, the Graphic 45 Love Notes collection, the Love Notes solids and patterns as well as the journaling cards, chipboard and stickers.  All of this was transformed into the anniversary present below, full of love notes, memories and our story over the last 32 years.  I hope you enjoy it.

This is our story - more than 60 pages of why I love my husband and our incredible journey together.

When my husband posted this on Facebook he stated that it made him cry.  He never ceases to amaze me.
 

When you have no plan...

As many of you know, I like to create with just a vague plan - that way I am always surprised in how things turn out.  For this project all I have decided on is the paper.  I am using Graphic 45's A Perfect Gentleman Deluxe Collectors Edition.  After that sky is the limit. 

So what does it mean to start a project with no plan?  Often it can mean cutting, scoring, recutting and so on.  Is this how things have started with this project?  You bet and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Here is a glimpse at the beginning.  I will post more as the project progresses.

Unveiling....

Good morning everyone!!!  Just a quick update to my last post showing the travel album and steamer trunk I built using Graphic 45 City Scapes and Tropical Travelogue collections. 
Well, I can now share with you that they are in their new home - with the beautiful bride-to-be Brittany.  Her sister threw her a travel themed shower so I thought these would be more than fitting - I must say Brit loved them!!!

So glad she liked them - I certainly enjoyed making them!!!

Hello everyone here is the start of my latest project using a Graphic 45 Square tag and pocket album as well as the Tropical Travelogue, City Scapes and Penny's Paper Dolls Family collections.  I decided to change things up, turn the album into a suitcase and build a little steamer trunk to go with it.

This was a very fun project.  The only plan I had was the products I was using, after that, it was simply whatever my creative brain came up with.  I must say I have the most fun when I just start sticking stuff down and just let the process happen.  One of these days I may plan a project out start to finish....or not...

So here is a quick video of the finished project - I hope you enjoy it.  I look forward to seeing your comments.  Happy crafting!!!!
