Now on to what I created…





Hi Everyone!
Here's my Fall tag I created using the Tim Holtz #8 tag. The paper collection I used is the Romantique Collection by Prima. The colors in this collection was perfect for the Fall theme. To create my Maple tree, I used Tan Brown Leaves and Brown Maple Leaves and added a dove on the tree using the Sizzix Bird #5 die. I also added y favorite Rock Candy Stickles on top of the tan brown leaves. On the trunk of the tree, I added the curled stem from the
White Short Paper Flowers Spray to secure the stems from the leaves and to make the trunk appear large. To create the fence, I used my Fence Sizzlit die and add stamped the word Fall on the SU! Modern Label punch die cut. I also added an extra eyelet and tied seam binding which I had stained with the Lindy Stamp Gang My Mojito Green. I really loved the vintage lady next to the tree.

Next up is:

Mommy & Me Crop Bird Cage Mini Album

Hi Everyone!

I had the best time ever at the Scrapbooker's Tale Mommy and Me Crop Ashley and I attended on August 20th from 10am to 2pm. Although we scrapbook together in my scrap room, being at the crop was so exciting. Ashley was so excited that she packed her bags weeks in advance and was literally counting down the days. Brandy had given all the kids an adorable mini album kit to create a really super cute mini. I couldn't believe how fast Ashley completed her album and how anxious she was to start a new project. It was so sweet of her to alter a Michaels Balsa box as a "Thank you" gift to Brandy for hosting the crop. Here I created a birdcage mini album of our fun day together using my new AccuCut Bird Cages(B1076SJ) die. I love the French Country paper collection by DCWV and been wanting to create a mini with this beautiful collection. Below are all the gorgeous I Am Roses flowers that were incorporated onto this mini album. I look forward to the next Mommy and Me Crop.

Altered Bird Nest and Bird Mini Album

Hi Everyone!

I purchased a small and large bird nest several weeks ago at my local Michaels and was really excited to altered one of them. It was so much fun especially because I love birds. Karla's trims and embellishment were perfect for my bird nest and mini. The paper collection I used is the Christmas Emporium collection by Graphic 45 which I had purchased from Karla. To create my bird mini album, I used my new AccuCut Birds #1 die and loved that there were several birds on that die to choose from. I plan on using the larger bird for my big bird nest. Listed below are the products I used from Karla's etsy.

Cynthialoowho's 6 Iridescent BLINGY Flower Centers or embellishment
