Mini Book 5

Here is Mini Book #5! This cute little tag shaped book has endless possibilities. I used up some boy paper I had laying around to make these two books. They are the perfect size for tucking in your purse for a brag book! Check out the video here. Both of these books have been added to my Etsy shop, click on the photos to go to those pages.

Look to your Right

So what's to the Right? Well if you are looking at a list of my recent publications, you'll see I've added one! I got a copy of the new Somerset Studio in the mail the other day and boy was I surprised and over joyed to find out I was in it! How awesome is that?!

Mini Book # 4

Here it is! Book number 4! The video has been uploaded to YouTube today, so go check it out.

So are you wondering what in the world I am going to do with all of these minis I've been making? Well this one was just added to my Etsy shoppe! For a cool $8 (free shipping yay!) it can be yours! Click on the photo to go to the Etsy listing.

I haven't been filling all of my time with minis, I've made some time for new spring designs. Here are two new bunnies I have just finished. I'll be adding these to Ebay & Etsy soon, but for now they are available on my website. Click the photos to go to their page.

My head is swimming with other new ideas, so stay tuned!

Valentines Cards!

 So today I had some valuable time in my craft room, and since I've decided to send more cards this year (Cards instead of Emails!) I worked on some Valentine's Day cards. I finished 6 cards this morning. I did an impromptu u-stream while making these cards so it was fun to chat with friends while working! 

 Every card is different, most of the products I used was from My Minds Eye. There is of course STICKLES on most of them! Other companies I used were Pebbles, and Maya Road. Most of these products can be purchased on my website!!

 And hey if I'm going to make some cards, how about making one for the MME Card Challenge?

This is the card I am submitting for this weeks challenge. Like the scrapbooking challenge I've go posted below, I love doing these because they plant and idea in your head, and get you going!

So Happy Early LOVE Day!

My Minds Eye Blog Challenge 32

Here is my new for the latest MME challenge.

 When I saw this princess paper, I knew I needed it! Having a little princess, I knew it would be perfect for a layout. Just about everything I used was a MME product.

 I designed the You Are A text in Adobe Illustrator and cut it out with my cricut. I used my new Xyron Create-A-Sticker machine to add adhesive to the text, making it easy to stick down. There is a slight shadow added to the text with a faber castell pen and I also added a little diamond stickles on the letters.

The flower brads are a paper studios brand and accent the flowers on Brileigh's hat.

Mini Book #3

So here it is. Book 3 in the Mini Books series. I used paper from the beautiful Basic Grey Little Black Dress collection. I have yet to add photos to this album, but I am for sure going to use black & white or sepia tone photos!

 So per my last post there was a give away! I used random.org to pick the lucky person and it was Gayle! Congrats!

I have been busy making some new paper cone wreaths. I will have these listed on ebay and etsy soon, but they are already available on my website. These 3 are made up of some wonderful spring papers! Click on any of the wreaths to go to the website.

I'm working on some new Easter items as well, I'll keep you all posted!

Mini Book #2

Good News! I finally got the video for book number one up and running (in entirety!) on youtube!

Check it out here!

Better news? I'm uploading book number #2 as I type this so it should be live right here!

This is the accordion fold book that I make in the video. I've added some photos of fun time at the park this last summer.

I plan on adding some journaling to the inside covers and possibly more photos to the inside back.

Here is the first book I put together, just in time for Valentine's Day! This book is going to be given away to one of my luck readers! Just leave a message on this post and there will be a random drawing! And stay tuned for book #3!

New YouTube Video

I'm starting a new journey today. I recently bought the book Mini Books by Roxi Phillips and I've decided to make every book in her book. I'm going to video each book as well. Today I did the first book, and actually made 3 of them.

Check out the video!
