Yellow and Gray Envelope/Pocket Mini Album

Hi Everyone,

So this post is a way to recycle the old into something new.  While Hubs and I were living in PA we were involved with craft shows/bazzars.  One item that I created to sell were Envelope cards that can be placed on gifts, used for money cards, etc.  Well I made tons of them and most of them sold but I still have a dozen or so left that did not.  So instead of throwing them away I chose to make a mini album out of them.  These minis can easily hold full 3x5 photos.  This is one of my favorite albums mostly because it is my favorite color, yellow.  Here it is...

I used a sheer gray ribbon for the binding and then used Deco Art Twinkles on the ends to stop the fraying.

Pages one and two and a sample of what all the tags throughout the album look like.

    

A tag tucked behind the fold out photomat.

Pages three /\ and four \/

Tags for pages 3 and 4.

Pages five /\ and six \/

Tag from page 5 and a fold out photomat with a pocket for tags.

So here is my work in progress.  I did make a video of this album.  You can see it here: 

Well everyone, that is all for now.  You know I am so grateful to be able to share these projects with you all and I am so thankful for each one of you!!  Thank you all for watching and I will see you in the next one...

Paper Bag Mini Album #1 - Paisley Fun

Hi Everyone,

So I have been wanting to do a series on Paper Bag Albums that I have created for quite some time now - like over a year - and I have finally been able to get my camera and the editing software to play nice with each other.  Well actually I just used my phone - it's a shame I didn't think of that before.  So here is my first Paper Bag Album.  I used a total of 9 Paper bags for this album.  ***Photo Warning and video at the end***

Well everyone here it is.  I really had a great time making this album and I know I will make another as I do like how this one came out.  So please tell me what you think of this album; I would love to hear/read your thoughts.  Thank you all so much for watching and I will see you in the next one.

Scraps of Color Scripture Swap Project

Hi Everyone,

I decided to participate in a swap over at Scraps of Color.  The challenge was to create a card using a scripture.   "Just A few words to let them know that God is always present."   After searching for an image and an image that I could pair together I chose Ephesians 3:20 and an image and sentiment from Melonheadz.  Next to passion stamps, she is one of my go to images.  So here is the card I created for the swap.

 I used DecoArt Twinkles as embellishments since the paper alone is a bit active.

To color the image I used Copic markers.  See the list of markers below.

So there you have it.  Looking back at it I could have done some other things to it.  That is one thing that I don't like.  Looking back in hind site and seeing the things that I could have done with the card.  Oh well, I still like the way it turned out, I hope the ladies that receive it like it as well.

Alright you guys, tell me what you think.

Oh,  a couple of things....1) A big Hi and Hello to the new subscribers!! Thanks so much for joining me.  2) I'm thinking of having another giveaway when we reach 50 followers.  What are your thoughts?

Ok, thanks so much for stopping by today everyone and reading through all my babble.   So, until next time..

Hi Everyone,

Happy Monday to you.  Today is a fabulous day!  The sun came out to dry up all the rain, I have the day off, Hubs is at work and I have all day to PLAY!!!!!!!!  Whoo Hoo!!  :D   Back in 2007 when I really got into paper crafting I started making note cards and selling them at craft fairs. Well I still have about 15 sets of cards that I think are terrific but didn't sell.  So I kept them until I could figure out what to do with them.  So here is the first project I have to share with you.  A Mini Album I have titled Proverbs 31:29 Mini Album, which is also where the quote is from.

Silk flowers and an Piece of sheer ribbon I stamped with color to match the album. 

Tag from the pocket/sleeve and the cover pages.  Each page is the same in this album.  There is a pockets with one large, pink photo mat tag, a smaller pocket with two journaling spots and a flip-up photo page holding 5 more pics.

The entire mini measures 7 1/4 x 3 3/4.  The photo mats in the sleeves are 6 3/4 x 11/16.
