mini accordion album

working on a little accordion album today... pages measure 3 x 4.

both sides open and the pages kind of mirror each other.   I used paper scraps and didn't have enough to match exactly.  that's okay.

Next up - covers, closures, and pocket fillers.  Oh, and a little "jazzing up" of the pages, too.

Authentique:  Frontier.....love the papers.

purging

after finishing this....

I decided it was time to do this......

which lead to this.....

paper crafters must have the prettiest trash/recycling in town!!

oh and about the Packaging 201 class...

I will post what participants need to bring soon and there just may be a few more ideas to share.....

finished up some cute ideas this morning.....

feeling the love!

feeling the love on a very rainy Sunday morning.....

finished a Big Heart this morning......

and the collection, so far......

cards are finished, too, here is the last one.  I liked it so much, I made two.  That means my Valentines are ready to send!

an old, old stamp but his little stick arm was the perfect place to hang a heart.

this just in....

I think I love Nuvo Drops 

stitching along

here's what I've done so far......

the previous post showed what I started with, a little while ago they all looked like the top heart

and now three are finished

I'm going to try a larger one next....wish me luck!

another valentine!

easy, interactive card today by Jennifer McGuire....

even better when I have everything for it!

"made" the paper too, with a big background stamp and monochromatic ink (red paper, red ink)

check it out!

fabric and felt

this is what I've been playing with and lost track of time......

sometimes you see something and have to drop everything and make one....especially when you have all the supplies!

and the felt bug bit me again.....hoping to finish them in time.  They don't look like much now but some stitches and buttons will dress them up!

and it only took about 2 1/2 hours and 2 mock ups to figure this "wiper" card out.....

Pull out the sides and the little doggy pops up.  We happen to know a little guy who loves dogs!!

This is his Valentine!

oh, and they fit very nicely right next to each other.

got the machine and all this for $25 more than the machine itself.  And shipping was cheaper too.

Glad to see the tempurature is rising for you!
