Mini Album Swaps (FB Group) Chipboard Swap

Hi Everyone,

WOW has a month gone by already?  Well I am 34 weeks along and counting down to her arrival. I have been afflicted with every illness that has gone around in the last 8 months and have been feeling miserable.  Just got finished with the flu and I am glad to see it go.  This kid will be immune to everything under the sun!!

Anywho.  I joined in a partner swap over at Mini Album Swaps Group on FB and this was a chipboard mini swap.  So today I am sharing with you the album I made for my partner.  I pray she likes it.  She didn't have anything in particular that she wanted, it was my choice, but she did same she loves pinks of all shades; so here is the mini.

Lots of Photos: You have been warned!!

Post Valentines Card

Hi Everyone,

I was asked to make some Valentine's card for a woman at my church for her little girl's class party.  She attends a Christian schooland the theme of this Valentine's Day was God's Perfect Love.  She wanted a card that of course uses the theme but would have stars by her daughter's name.  So I made some prototypes and her daughter picked out the one she liked.  Here is the finished card that her daughter chose.

Now I have to admit, this card was not my first choice but she loved the sparkle on the heart!!

I stamped some hearts on the inside of the card where she (the daughter) would write her name.  I did go back and add some stars around the hearts but I took these pics before the stars and I forgot to snap a pic after.  Chalk it up to baby brain ;) .

All in all I think it is really simple, and cute, and I do love the glitter star!!

I printed the sentiment in gray ink on the computer and then stamped the hearts around the die cut glitter heart.  Quick and Easy!

A Bit of Drama:   Now if any of you remember I am sticking to my challenge of not buying anything new.  Well I didnt have enough of this pink color for the card base so I had to buy some more of the Recollections paper pack.  Well the stack I had and the stack that I bought with the same name did not contain the same pick card stock as it had before.  So I wound up buying 3 card stock packs to try and find the correct pink shade. (I was not happy).  So now I am finding ways to use it up.


So there you have it.  Thanks everyone for sharing your time with me.  I will blog with you all again soon.

New One Sheet Mini Album

Hi Everyone,

The fall is upon us and that means that the holidays are right around the corner.  I am looking forward to taking lots of pictures of my lil girl picking apple, and pumpkins, and participating in fall events, and thanksgiving and Christmas, whew!  This means that I need a place to put all those pics and its no fun just letting them sit in the computer so I have started to create some easy photo albums where the measurements can be adjusted to fit different size photos.

I am still on my challenge not to buy any new paper, etc till I use what I have, I have caved a bit when it came to stamps but I am going strong with not buying paper.

So today I sharing a super simple, One Sheet Mini Christmas Album with you.  Each page is made of one 8x11.5 sheet of card stock.

Here is the video ..

Here are some stills...

If you are interested, let me know, and I will publish the tutorial on how to make this album.

Recycled Cereal Box Mini Album

I'm Hi Everyone,

So as things would have it, I got pulled onto a project at work which took away my free time for a lil while which explains my long absense.

Now the project I'm sharing with you today is not part of the series, it's a project that I was working on simultaneously using the same paper lines.

I am still on my "Use the Stash" mission and this is a result it.

Okay, so I think is the last project I will show using the DCWV Bella Boutique/La Creme collections for a lil while minus the Nilla Box series posts.  I need to work the other paper lines I have.  I feel like I'm getting into a rut and forgetting how to use color, lol.

Okay so here is the warning. There are A LOT of pictures!

And I even made a video about it.

Here is a video of the album:

This album will hold 34 photos (mostly 3x5) and 4 smaller ones & 8 tags to record dates, places, people, events, or whatever you can think of.

Because I have a lot of wonderful creations that I will need to sell some of my projects.  If you are interested in owning any of the projects I have/will post, please let me know, otherwise if you head over to my FB page you will see all of the items I have for sale.

So there you have it.  Until next time.  Have a great weekend!!

Kelli
