"Cutes!"

    In this album you will find a selection of dolls that were handmade by me over the past year. I call them "Cutes!" because when my son was about 2 years old...that is what he called them!

Remember I told you about the demo's that I saw at the ScrapBook store??? Well this is one! It was a Mini Photo Album from legal size envelopes! It was sooo cute! Their's was made up with white envelopes...but I had these red ones that I bought after Christmas on CLEARANCE! Finally...a way to use them! All I did was take 3 of them, and cut the ends (short sides) off of each side. Then I glued (or you can lick) the flap down. With all seam sides facing torwards you fold them all together at once...nice and even. I punched 2 small holes on the seam for ribbon to tie them together. Then I just started gluing away with different sheets of paper. I cut my pieces 4 1/2"wide by 4"tall. You'll need 12 different prints. I also added some torn paper to each page ontop of the first piece. And remember you cut open the ends...so you'll need like a tag to put in there...so you'll want to use a heavier cardstock...and I didn't cut all mine the same size...so just wing it there...or use already made tags. If you make your own..don't forgot to punch a hole and add ribbon to it. Then add your pictures!!!! And on the tags..don't forgot to add pics to the backs of the tags too! And then after everything is added....antique the edges of the album with a make-up sponge and brown inkpad! I had so much fun making it! I used a bunch of older pics that I had sitting around....I am going to make another one with more current BaseBall pics of C. I'm going to suprise my mom with this one...I hope she's not reading!!!!! She needs a little "pick me up" right now! If anyone makes one...send me pictures!! I'd LOVE to see! Have fun!!!!!

Make your own Library Card

This is so cool!!!! I've been seeing it around on a couple blogs, just recently over at Bailey's Bliss Blog...and I've also seen it on some chat boards and I thought I'd share it too! The one below I made for my Photography...I was just messing around. But there are soooo many uses for it! And everytime you create a new one....it changes the color of the card and it moves your little scribbles around! You need to try it! Click Here to make your own! Save the site and make many! Have fun!

"DREAM" Pennant Banner

Img_8277_1

I whipped this up the other night and had so much fun making it!!!! Here are some close-ups of each letter.

Each Pennant measures approx 7 x 4 1/2 and the whole banner is approx 38". This is perfect for a baby girls room, little girls room or a shabby bedroom! Each Pennant has different notions either handsewn on or machine sewn on. No glue is used except for gluing the glitter on. It's sweet. Even the back is finished so if you hang it in front of a mirror it will still look nice! I haven't put this on my website yet, because I haven't built a page for my new paper art....so until I get that done, I'll let you know, if you're interested....it is for sale. $38.00 including the shipping. Let me know what you think of it! I'd love to hear your feedback! I am fairly new to doing this paper art but am fully enjoying it!
