Brown Bag Greeting Card Mini Album #2

Happy Tuesday to you!!!

Okay, so I am loving these Brown Bag Card Mini Albums!! I so hope you are not getting tired of seeing them.  I am just having so much fun making them.  I think I am almost addicted to them.  

So, you may recall me using this K&Company paper in a project not too long ago but I think it is sooo pretty.  This album holds a combination of 12 photos and/or journaling spots.  











I used an Autumn Leaves journaling stamp, Studio G blue pigment ink around all the edges, flat back pearls I bought in bulk from Ebay, Decoart Twinkles on the ribbon, silk flowers I picked up from Michael's, K&Company Blue & Cream Paper Pad, flat back gems from Nicole crafts, silver brads - I can't remember whose they are, and the Cricut Home Decor cartridge for the frame on the front of the card.  I plan on stamping "Thank You" in the circle frame, but that is all that remains to be done.

Thank you all for stopping by and sharing your time with me!!!!  I am grateful to you all.

So until the next blog... Keep smiling    : D

Inspired Greeting Card #2

Hi Everyone,

So as I mentioned before, while I was doing laundry I picked up a Pottery Barn magazine from Fall 2006 and saw some room settings that inspired me on making card layouts.  The first picture is of the entire room.  The second picture is the area of the room that inspired me.


It always amazes me where and when inspiration strikes.  For this card I used a piece of paper from Basic Grey's "Stella Ruby" collection on a kraft card stock card base.  I inked around the edges with red pigment ink from Studio G.  I hot glued some silk flowers that I found at Goodwill, and used a piece of white Offray lace ribbon I picked up from Jo-Anns (Options C1 white 3 9ft - 305836).  For the center of the flowers I used a pale green flat back pearl.  And lastly, the sentiment is part of a collection of digital sentiments from Favorite Favors' "Passion Stamps"; it reads "A friend will pray for you, a real friend will pray you through."  Here is the card.




So there you have it.  I have some more inspired cards that I am eager to show you.  Thank you for stopping by and spending some time with me!!!!!!

Until next time.. Keep praying.
