Graphic 45... YUM!

Good morning to all of my blog friends! Happy Friday! I'm getting ready to head out to a doctor's appointment this morning, but I just wanted to post a quick post with my newest album!

This week, Momz ebay Design Group had a Graphic 45 paper challenge! Now I was not the first to jump on the Graphic 45 bandwagon by any means, I'm not good with Vintage, but I know that others out there love it, so I thought I would give it a try! Well, needless to say, now I'm addicted and I absolutely love their paper lines!

Here is a cascading paper bag album that I made using the "Curtain Call" paper line. I didn't have any tan lace so I used tea bags to dye my own :)

You can see this album on ebay now by clicking here.

Not only did I make this beautiful album with my Graphic 45 papers, but I found use for my scraps!

I made this card for my Friday Design Team challenge project for Little Scraps of Heaven Designs DT. Our challenge today was to use Buttons, flowers, and ribbon. Well, as you can see, I did all 3! The paper piecing that I made is the adorable little Harmony Bear pattern from LSHD. I also wanted to use my beautiful new stamps set that I just won from Market Street Stamps! This stamp set is called "Simple Joys" and can be found here. I just love how this little card turned out! If you love it too, you can find it now in my etsy shop!

Once Upon A Springtime

Well, I must admit, I'm not a big fan of vintage... BUT I did have fun with this line! I was not enthused at first to start an album because I unlike everyone else wasn't initially a huge fan of this paper. Once I started using it on my album, I began to like it a little more! Graphic 45 has some BEAUTIFUL paper lines out right now and they have made me really appreciate and have a new love for vintage designs on albums!

For this album I tried something a little different than usual. Now I did make one of these types of albums over Christmas, but haven't done one since then. I really like the cascading look, so I thought I would try it again on this album!

If you are interested in seeing more of this album, you can find it on ebay HERE.

Also, I wanted to share my Wednesday Design Team project for Little Scraps of Heaven Designs. I used some of my scraps from the album to make this adorable little card along with the LSHD Fairy Bears pattern set.

This little card can be found HERE in my etsy shop. Thanks for stopping by!

Oh Baby! ♥

Hello everyone! I haven't blogged in a few days, so I thought I would share a couple of my new creations!

Yesterday I had so much energy that I thought I might as well put it to scrappin' while I could! Apparently I was in a baby mood, so I made these two matching baby girl and boy albums.

You can find both of these paper bag albums for sale in my ebay by clicking HERE.

I also made 2 matching mini acrylic keychain albums.

These cute little albums can be found in my etsy shop HERE.

Heidi Grace paper was used for all of the albums above. Thanks for stopping by!

Feelin' Lucky?

Well, I've sure got a treat for you all today! I just posted a new mini album on ebay and bids start at just .99 cents!!! This little acrylic album is 4x6 in size and will hold your wallet photos beautifully! The little shamrocks in this album were cut from a Little Scraps of Heaven Designs pattern that can be found HERE.

Je Taime

Ahhh Love is in the air! With Valentine's Day quickly approaching, I thought I would attempt to make all the love themed albums that I could possibly make! For this album, I wanted to do something a little different. I had in mind for a while that I wanted to do a Paris/French Shabby Chic type of love album, but I had no clue what colors or papers to even use. As I was searching through my large paper stash, I came across these very lovely papers (I do believe they are by Fancy Pants Designs, but I'm not 100% sure), one of the papers had the word "amour" on it and I thought BINGO! That's perfect!!! So there you have it, I put together this stunning album to share with you all. I am very pleased with how it turned out! Oh, and yes, this album is made with paper bags :-)



For those of you who don't know, "Je Taime" means "I Love You" in French. I think it's such a beautiful word and I wanted to play on it throughout the album and give it a French/Paris feel. I used my Gypsy to create the title, and used my Summer in Paris Cricut Cartridge to cut the Eiffel Tower and other cuts throughout the album.

Adding ribbons to the album is not only the last step, but my favorite part of the whole process! I feel that the ribbons that you add compliments the whole design of the album. I don't have a lot of yellow in my stash, but I pulled out all of the yellow that I could here to accent the beauty of the color in this album.







In French, "Lamour" means "Love." This was also cut with the Summer in Paris Cricut Cartridge.

A Dream Is A Wish... Your Heart Makes

Every girl dreams of being a princess, I know I always did. The other day while I was laying in bed daydreaming, I thought of a beautiful idea for an album! I had just bought the most beautiful K&Co paper from Michael's and it featured some of my favorite colors, purple, turquoise, green, and lots of black & white. I ran upstairs and got my Gypsy and started playing around. I've had the Disney Princess cartridges for a while now but never really used them, so finally, now I have! As you can see, I used the Cinderella silhouette in the background and also played with the words. I welded quite a few words together and it was a little hard to cut with the glitter paper, but I think it turned out nice! 





The little shoe charm was fitting for this fairy tale princess album.



I tried something a little new with the photo mats and added doubles to the pockets. I also stitched all photo mats throughout the album, this just adds an extra elegant look and feel I think.







I loved this little pin, I have been holding onto it for a while now and thought it fit this album quite well!

I'm also editing this to add that I'm changing my challenge entry for the Sugar Sweet Paper Treats blog to this one... I like it a lot better than the acrylic. The challenge was to alter something. For this, I altered paper lunch sacks that I had here. Everyone has them laying around, so why not give it a try! The link to the challenge is: http://www.sugarsweetpapertreats.blogspot.com/ :-)
