Eiffel Tower Album




I'm so super happy to share with you another custom die I designed with AccuCutCraft Custom Shape Pros. As many of you know how much I love dress forms, I just had to create an Eiffel Tower into a mini album. I've seen and purchased so many collections with the image of an Eiffel tower on it. I loved how it turned out and can't wait to make more. I love the new Be Mine collection by Echo Park Paper Co. and it just went perfect for this project. Arlene had given me a pack of beautiful pink, black and white trims that was just meant for this album. Thank you Ar! I'm waiting to receive the Teresa Collins World Traveler collection in the mail and look forward to creating that album.

Family Tree Album



Hi Everyone!

I really enjoyed creating this Family Tree album for my mom and Dave. As soon as I had seen Simple Stories Generations collection, I knew I had to get the AccuCut Album Tree #2 die. I created each page and dedicate it to each family starting from the oldest sibling to the youngest. I used both the 12x12 design papers as well as the 6x6 paper pad. I just loved all the journal cards that were included in this collection. My favorite journal cards were the Bingo cards. On the other side of their page is where they can each write a letter or have the grand kids write a letter. I added a lot of beautiful I Am Roses flowers to each page and loved how it turned out. Below is a list of all the flowers I incorporated on my project.

ZQL0 - 0 Green Leaves
R6 - 827 Mixed Brown Flowers
S10 - 15 Small White Flowers
R2 - 827 Mini Mixed Two Toned Roses
R21 - 1 White Flower
GS2 - 40 Brown Curly Flower
SP1 - 740 Soft Brown Short Spray
R40 - 800 Burgundy Roses
S3 - 310 Cherry Blossom

Tussie Mussie




Here's a tussie mussie I created with a paper mache cone I purchased from Joanns. These make great gifts for Christmas or any occasion. These would also look gorgeous as a banner across your fireplace for Christmas too. How fun it would be to fill them up with a ton of goodies. I can't wait to create my banner. I made these as party favors awhile back with design paper and they're so much to make. Karla's etsy has so many beautiful trims and embellishments to add to your tussie mussie. Below are all the fun trims and embellishments I added to my project.

Pink Rose Trim
Moss Green Beaded Spray
Bona's Shabby Chic Beige Trim
Jo's Shabby Large Clear Crystal

IAR Altered Journal Book






My daughter Ariana loved the new journal books at Michaels and wanted me to alter one for her. She uses a ton of notebooks for her notes for school. I really enjoyed making this for her and loved the new DCWV The French Country paper stack. I finally used one of my new Greeting Farm stamps and love Blush Bonnie. I used the Spellbinders Labels Twenty die with the coordinating design papers and distressed the edges with Frayed Burlap Distress ink and add both images on top. I just love all the I Am Roses flowers and sprays on her journal.
