Mini Hawaiian photo album

Here she is, I created this mini to go along with the card I completed last week.  We are putting together a gift basket and this is my contribution. 

It has 20 pages the a 4 by 6 photo uncropped will fit.

I was very minimalist with the embellishments so there is plenty of room for pictures.

It has a reinforced paper binding.

I punched out several flowers.

I used stickers as well.

I had a request for a card that we could all sign to our boss who is heading to Hawaii in a week. I was thrilled to get the chance to make something new. I did a lot of rubber stamping and cutting out for this one.  I mixed up a few sets from old Close to my Heart stamps. I love that my stamps seem never to expire. I have a ton and can't seem to get rid of any. I am the kind of person who has a hard time parting with something because I MIGHT need it someday. 

This is a sticker from a cute set from K&Co. The shells are from this set too.

New blue infinity t-shirt scarf

Found a dark blue t-shirt and repurposed it into another scarf.  I love using the leftovers to make flowers.

supplies: fabric, tweezers, and glue. 

cut fabric in a circle then cut into the circle in a spiral pattern keeping it as even a possible.  Using the tweezers curl the fabric around them keeping moderate tension,  glue the end to the bottom of the spiral and turn over to reveal your flower.

birthday cards and more

made this card for a co-workers birthday. I love the distressed look.

I made the flowers from coffee filters and then sponged on some brown and added glitter.

this shows a bit more of the glitter.

all the flowers were made using punches.

felt flowers

I saw one of these  calanders the first time I was on Pinterest and HAD to make my own so here it is.

This is a calandar/memory keeper. You can document special days for several years  to come. 

St Patties Garland

got the supplies reused of course

the flower is made from a grocery bag. I punched 4 large, 2 medium and 2 small flowers.  I  used a brad to connect them and then painted them with glitter paint.

the scallop flower is made from 2 large scallops glued together and a gem added to the center.

The garland turned out to be quite long.
