Framed

I made a frame over Christmas using my Bind-It-All Cover-Alls and it was such an easy and fast gift to make I decided to make a few more to send to family for birthdays and just because.

They are really easy to make.  First cover the entire Cover-All with patterned paper, for these I used the Crate Paper Farmhouse Collection. 

Add photos on the inside of the Cover-All.

Add some embellishments to the front of the Cover-All.

Really easy and really fun to make.

Stamping :)

I am not much of a stamper but I always love playing around and I really wanted to try using my new distress inks with a Glimmer Mist template.

I created the background using a template made for misting ink but instead used my distress inks and just rubbed the ink onto the paper with the foam handle.  I then stamped the bird house and little birdies and added them around the journaling card.

I had so much fun making this card maybe I will try my hand at stamping more in the future.

Thanks for stopping by.

Project 366

This year (new iPhone in hand) I decided to give the Project 365 a go. If you haven't heard of it you take a picture a day, every day, for the whole year. I was a little daunted by the task but so far I have had a blast taking pictures with my new phone and using the My365 app. I decided I wanted to create a mini album to hold all my photos but doing a mini with 365 (366 this year) photos would be a little too bulky - LOL! I played around and finally came up with a solution to print out the whole month of pictures into one photo.

9 years ago today...

On my birthday I got the best present ever...my son Linden.

He came in kicking and screaming and hasn't stopped, he is my love and joy, my heart and soul, my pain and anguish and everything in between.  Happy Birthday!

Love

It's Valentine's Day today and I wanted to share some "Love" with all my friends and family. I hope you have a wonderful day filled with hugs and kisses. 

XOXO

Origami Hearts and a Video

Valentine's Day is only a few days away - yikes.  I thought I better get cracking on making a card for my husband and when I saw these really cute origami hearts online I just had to use them.

For this card I used some old Crate Paper I had scraps left over from and made a bunch of origami hearts and I wanted to make a card that looked like a heart monitor showing my heart beats :).

I used embroidery floss to create the zig zag heart beats and added a origami heart at the end of each one, then added a quick sentiment with letter stickers and inked the edges with chalk ink.

Here's a quick video showing how to make the origami hearts.

I think my husband will love it.
