Toni's Surprise Album

My friend from High School back in the UK now lives in NC and she visited the UK over the summer. I made her this album as a surprise as she sent me a goody box full of my favorite British foods. She doesn't scrapbook - so hopefully - after she has added her photos to these pages - she will understand my love of scrapbooking :O)

Some of the pages had titles on them - some of them I left blank. All of the layouts are from the CTMH Cherish or Imagine 'How To' books :O)

Kineton is the name of the town where Toni comes from and where we went to school together.

All of Toni's family are still back in the UK so hopefully she can put some great family photos on these layouts.

So I put all of these layouts in a black linen 12x12 album and mailed it to her - she should get it on Saturday - hope she likes it!
Hope you like it too :O)

Notebook 6x6 memory showcase album

Here is the 6x6 memory showcase album which I made for my room-mates and friends as a Convention Gift. I used the notebook level 2 paper pack & stickease and the coffee stain stamp set that matches it - love that set! I added ribbon and filigree charms and 'Big Pinks' paper flowers for BLING :O)

I folded the inside pages at 3" so that it made 4 3x6 panels. Then attached 4x6 to the front side of the fold and 2x6 to the back side of the fold. Hope that makes some sort of sense - if you look at the photos you will see :O)

Here is the other side of the 'fold' where the 2x6  gets attached.

I used Stazon black ink to color the filigree charms.

The black embellishment behind the quote is actually a colonial white decorative brad which I have rubbed into the Stazon black ink to make a black decorative brad :O)

Robyn's 200 Graduation 3 Ring Binder

Here is one of the items which I made for my Extravaganza class at Convention earlier this month. I started with the 3 ring binder and then I used the Notebook Level 2 paper pack & stickease - one of my favorites - and then added lots of 'Bling" in the form of pearl paint, liquid glass, sparkles and CTMH's beautiful satin egded ribbon.

I tinted the paint using just a few drops of the Holly hock re-inker to give this lovely soft pink. The filigree charms helped hold the ribbon in place.

Here I added a top coat for added shine and painted the tiny flowers with the same paint as the Dimensional element numbers - then added a sparkle to the center.

I added baby pink edge anchors and also used the hollyhock accessories from the Autumn garden mini medley.

More sparkles for fun and I added liquid glass to the stickease to add more shine.

Again - lots of sparkles and I painted the dimensional element heart with the tinted pearl paint.

I doubled up the flowers on the 'Brothers' page and added the corduroy brad to the center of the satin edge ribbon.  On the Memory page I pleated the ribbon under the dimensional element heart and added sparkles and then liquid glass to cover the stickease then added it to the center of the flower

More sparkles on the stickease and Filigree charm in the center of the doubled paper flowers.

Victorias Birthday Card

I love the Notebook paper - I think I could use it for every project LOL. Here is a birthday card I made for one of my best friends - Victoria. I used the bitty sparkles on the center panel and you will see how I have heavily scissor distressed the cream cardstock. I loved they way it turned out and so did she :O)

Flip Flap Album workshop

Here are the photos of my newest workshop - it features the Notebook level 2 paper pack and matching stickease. This is one of my favorite papers as you can flip the pink paper over and the other side is blue - just perfect for families :O)

This workshop has a pre-paid cost of $20. Email me to set the date for your workshop :O) Hope you like it :O)

Dry Erase Picture Frame

This idea came from another consultant which I absolutely fell in love with. It is a regular picture frame which I added the Notebook level 2 paper and stickease to and added Dimensional Elements which I inked then stamped. Lots of bling with flowers and sparkles added a fun touch and I wrapped the dry erase marker with our black ribbon. A fun project which is easy to make and you can switch out the backgrounds easily to customize to the season. Hope you like it :O)

Topstitch February monthly class card

Here is the other card we are making this month. It features the stamp set out of the Topstitch WOTG. This time I have paired it with the Notebook level 2 paper pack. Sparkles add the finishing touch :O) Hope you like it x

Lisa's card and gift bag

A day or so ago I posted the mini allsorts album I had made for my dear friend Lisa - so here are the card and matching gift bag. I love the stair step cards - you can add so much embellishment to it - here I added dimensional element numbers, ribbons, a button with a paper flower and brad and the matching stickease to the Notebook paper.

 

This cute bag started life as a plain white one! I added the large pieces of cardstock and notebook level 2 paper and stamped the coffee stain stamp. Then I added the center panel with her name with mini sparkles and a circle clip. The Big pink paper flower has a circle of paper in the center over which I have added a circle window charm. Ribbon is added to the handle and the tissue papar again is stamped with the coffee cup stain stamp. Hope you like it :O)

Lisa's album part 2

 

SO here are the last pages of Lisa's birthday album - you can see that I created fold out pages and flaps and tags to add extra photos - and yes - more BLING! I loved the way it turned out - and so did she :O)
