Envelope Pull-Out Tab Album

Here is my Envelope Pull-Out Tab Album!

This project uses large and small square envelopes to make a great album for photos or journaling or many other uses! CD's will also fit into the large envelopes to make a great DVD, music or photo CD gift!
I have 24 photos in this album, and that is without using the small pull out tabs at all, with plenty of room left over for journaling! This is the perfect album to use when you just have way too many good photos of an occasion to fit on a scrapbook layout. It's also the perfect thing to give as a gift, especially with Christmas coming up!
You can add on as many extra pages as you want, if you want your album to be larger or smaller then the one shown. I have used Spice Cake DSP but you can easily use any pattern you would like. Album is approximately 5-1/2" square.

Planter Six Pack

I love Spring! I love going into the stores and seeing all the gardening stuff and I can't wait for our weather to get warmer so I can start playing in my garden. Until then, I guess I'll just have to make projects with the stuff...

I saw these little planter packs at Target, they are $1 each in the front section of the store (about 2" wide). They come with a little planter vase, seed packet and peat pellet. You can get flower ones or herbs. (Or you could just put together your own with little vases or already grown flowers!)

I could not help myself but to make my Six Pack Project with these little planters! This would be such a great gift for a gardener or just someone who cooks and likes to use fresh herbs. You could even give this as a gift with some recipe cards!
I Love Spring!

Butterfly Rainbow

I saw a picture of a card in a magazine that used butterflies to make a rainbow, I changed it up a bit, and here is my version of what I saw!

I used the Beautiful Wings Embosslit with the Big Shot. The clouds are using the top of the Cupcake punch! The sentiment is from the So Happy For You Sale-A-Bration stamp set. I used a variety of card stock and Designer Series Papers to make the butterflies.
This card makes me want Spring to come sooner!

Easter Egg Gift Card Holder

Here is my Easter Egg Gift Card Holder! You can use whatever you want to decorate your egg card and put either a gift card or money in the inside.
When you pull up the top of the egg, the gift card rises with it!
The perfect way to give a gift for Easter!

Scrapbooking Rainy Days

I finally have gotten my act together and started some scrapbooking again. Every time I take a break from this and start again I forget how much I love to do it! Of course these pictures are from March 2009 so I'm a little behind!
I had my sewing machine out for something else and saw a project like this in a magazine and got inspired. I love this idea for the rain clouds with the stitching and brads! I used the new Tasteful Trim die with the Big Shot to do the scalloped border at the top, also the Naturally Serif Alphabet for the words. The small clouds are made using the cupcake punch!
Here are some close-ups of the pages.


Boy, are my kids cute! I love how scrapbooking a certain time brings it right back to you like it was yesterday!
