Mini Album - Teresa Collins HOME Collection

Hi Paper Lovers!

Here is the Teresa Collins HOME Collection Mini I made for my DD for their new home. The papers are amazing as you can see. I used transperacies in the collection as frames to slide pictures into. A great tip for decrative ribbon is, instead of buying it, make your own, use Staz On ink and stamp images on the ribbon, this is what I did as you can see in the first picture on the white ribbon. I used the TC Home Collection stamps. I also made alot of room for pictures and journeling. I love this paper collection! It's simple yet classy looking. And to finish it all off, I used my Bind-It-All and ribbons.  This is the second mini I made and I really like making them, then next one Im making is by Teresa Collins as well and its her new Travel Collection, its just as beautiful as this one.

Thanks so much for looking and I really appreciate all of your wonderful comments you leave :)

Have a wonderful weekend!

The Burtonesque Dolls challenge

Hello Paper Lover!

Here is a card I made this morning for Tbe Burtonesque Dolls Challenge! All you have to do is incorporate stripes into your card so I added black and white layered cardstock to make wide stripes, I didnt have any striped paper, can you believe that!? WOW! I need to go shopping lol! I used a digi image from TGF that my dear blog buddie gave me and used my Copic markers to color it in. I think it turned out pretty cool.

Hi Paper Lovers,

I asked a favor from my blog buddy Nicole at Canadian Nickel Scrap'n if she could cut me some strawberries from her Perserves cartridge which I dont have, yet! She was so sweet to do me this great favor for me. I received the package yesterday with an amzing card she made (she'll be sharing it with you tomorrow on her blog, so make sure you check her BLOG out, :) and a wonderful muffin reciepe, that I can't wait to try.

So, here's the card I made with the some of the strawberries she sent me. It's on a standard A2 card, with SU card stock, Doodlebug patterned paper, isnt it so cute, I love the kiwi's and strawberries together :)

Mother's Day Card

Hi again paper pals!
I was working on my Mother's Day card today and wanted to share it with you. I got my insperation from Arlene at Mybutterflykisses. I used a standard 5x7 card, distressed inked around the edges and added photo corners to each corner. Using black cardstock I heat embossed Ranger's Black embossing powerder to give it that aged look. I added one of the talented Arlenes lollipop flowers she made to the bottom of the card and also added  Prmia pearl swirl and Prima Fairytale rose buds along the side with a tattered heart. I used a SU punch around Happy Mother's Day. I also added a photo from google (typed in Vintage Woman) and beaded fringe at the bottom to finish it off. I hope you like it. Thanks so much for looking :)

The mail man just delivered my Create A Critter Cart this afternoon and so I just had to make up a little card. Here is a simple card using the piggy cut from the cartridge and cut at 3". This cart seems very simple and has so many cute images on it. Ill be sharing more soon.

Just Because Cards Cartridge

Hi Paper Lovers!
Here is a little card I made this beautiful afternoon. Using my JBC cart I cut all the images out at 6" except for the oval, for a reminder if you do not know, the stencil cut, cuts out at real size, so I had to cut that out at 2". I think it turned out pretty cute!
Thanks for looking!
