time album

This is a mini I was working on today.  The album itself is from Michael's {it's just a plain chipboard tag album}.  I used K&Company papers and lots of other goodies on the album. 

I machine stitched the edges of some of the pages before adhering them.  Used rub on's from my stash and lots of buttons!

I also used lots of stacked flowers.  I love the aqua blue and brown together.  I heat embossed the chipboard elements on the album with Tim Holtz suede embossing powder.  I like the look and feel.  It gives alot of texture. 

This butterfly I covered with a blue print vellum, then added rhinestones and that metal swirly gadget you see there.  I hand drew in the flight path...

Thanks for looking..enjoy...the book is for sale in my etsy shoppe if interested...

Vendor Event

I will be hostessing a "shopping night out" at Hanoverville Elementary School on April 9th.  I was hoping it was before Easter so I could focus on Easter crafts, but too bad!  so I am working on mini albums to sell and will highlight the MemoryWorks Simple Stories Kits for purchase.  I should also have my new catty's by then...I'll post pics of the albums and some techniques I am working on a little later today..

Simple Stories Layouts

I like this page setup because it reminds me of The Brady Bunch opening sequence!!

and it's a nice way to showcase some photos of all my kids and their unique personalities..

With five kids, we celebrate alot of birthdays, it's nice to have a snapshot of them all inone place..and enough journaling space to write about each party...

We love fall and the pumpkin patch...this is one of my favorite pages..

The paper really lends itself to "fall". 

Thanks for looking!!
