Scrapbook Saturday

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!

My Scrapbook share for this week is a DARLING little album I got from 'Artsy Albums.shop' called "Baby It's Cold Outside".  It is designed to help me capture all the FUN playing outside in the snow.   Here is what I created.

This SUPER FUN acrylic cover album measures a DARLING 7-1/2" x 4" size and is jammed packed with many fun pages.

Here's what the inside of the album looks like when you pull back the acrylic front cover.

There are so many pockets and flip out sections......

This gives me plenty of room to add photos and journal all at the same time.

The best part of this album is that it has LOTS of different sized photo placement sections.

And the little flap-over pieces allow me to tuck something special behind it ...... and also into the fun little pockets throughout this album.

There are so many different ways you can finish off the pages within this album.......

And that means both with photos and journaling cards.

Overall, this album is FULL of FUN colors.......

And PRETTY accent pieces.

Just couldn't be happier with the way this album turned out.  Will be taking it back to Madison with me at the end of the year.

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share a Spotlight Sunday creation with you ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Happy Thursday My Blogger Friends!

My blog post for today is Tag Thursday.  Today, I will feature a tag I created and show you how easy it is to use minimal supplies to create a SUPER PRETTY TAG.  Now that you have the details for my Tag Thursday creation for this week ........ Let's jump right in with my tag share for today........

I just couldn't be HAPPIER with the way this tag turned out.  It reminds me of the line I heard often when I was growing up ........ "What's black and white and red all over".

I started off with a white base tag and added several 1/2" pieces of the "All Together Designer Series Paper' over the top.

My sentiment is from the 'Flowing Flowers' set ...... And I used several of the 'Layering Circles Dies' to crop that little sentiment.

I topped my tag off with a WHIMSY little bow that was created using the 'Black & White 1/4" Gingham Ribbon'.

And the finishing touch was cropping out a few of the hearts from the 'Sweet Heart Dies' and adding those around the front of my tag.  For a little added FUN ...... I used my 'Fine Tip Glue Pen' to add some SHINE and WOW FACTOR to each little heart.

So there you have it friends......

Don't you just LOVE IT!!!!

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share some Friends Friday creations with you ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Happy Wednesday My Blogger Friends!

My blog post for today is Wine-Down Wednesday.  My middle of the week card feature for today will hopefully offer you some inspiration and provide you with some motivation to keep you moving through your busy week.  Let's jump right in with my card share for today........

Talk about a quick and easy kind of card ....... That's what I have for you today!

I started off with a White base card.  I added a Smokey Slate cardstock panel to the top ....... but before adhering that panel down.....I used my Simply Score Board and added an embossed edge around that entire panel.

Next, I punched five 1" circle from the 'Heart & Home Designer Series Paper' and stacked those down the far right-hand side of my card.  Then, I added a 1-1/4" x 5-1/2" panel of Basic Gray cardstock slightly over the DSP circles and adhered that down to the front of my card.

I added a sentiment panel from the 'Sentiment Swirls' set and positioned that in the lower section of my card.  Before I adhered that sentiment down ..... I added some 'Red Mini Ruffled Ribbon' around the far left-hand side and tied it up into a pretty knot.

The finishing touch was adding three pretty flowers from the 'Floral Squares Dies' and arranged those around the bottom right-hand corner of my card.

And that's all it took to create this pretty card.

Tell me friends ...... What do you think???

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow with a Tag Thursday creation to share with you ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream! 

Notelet Gift Box

 Happy Tuesday My Blogger Friends!

My blog post for today is 'CASE IT TUESDAY'.  That means today I have a fun little 3-D project that I found on the internet ....... And I created a CASE of that project to share with you today.  This project was SUPER FUN to create, and I want to jump right in and share that project with you now.

Today, I have another SWEET little project that Crafty Caroline shared on her blog back in July of 2017.  It might be an oldie ...... BUT BELIEVE ME ....... It's a GOODIE!  Here is the link to Caroline's video:  (1329) Note Card Gift Set - Video Tutorial with Tranquil Tulips from Stampin' Up - YouTube

And check out when my notelet gift box is opened.......I filled it with four little notecards and coordinating envelopes.

The base of this gift box is a Very Vanilla cardstock piece that measures 5-1/4" x 8-1/8".  On the long side, I scored it at 3-3/4" and 4-3/8".  For the little pocket on the inside......That is a 9" x 2-1/2" piece of Evening Evergreen cardstock, and it is scored on the long side at 3-3/4", 4-1/4", 8" and 8-1/2".  On the short side, I scored it at 1/2".

My gift box is covered with the 'Hey Sport Fan Designer Series Paper' ..... And I used the 'Flowering Tulips' set to create my sentiments.

I used the 'Medium Daisy Punch' to crop out three daisy flowers for each card ..... And also used the 'Hey Sport Fan Designer Series Paper' on both the cards and envelopes.

And the finishing touch for each card was adding some 'Fine Tip Glue Pen' into the center of each daisy for some added SHINE!

I used some 'Evening Evergreen 3/8" Open Weave Ribbon' to secure my gift box closed......

And tied that ribbon up into a pretty bow in the front.

Just couldn't be HAPPIER with the way this project turned out.  Tell me friends ....... What do you think???

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share a Wine Down Wednesday card with you ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

You Mean So Much To Me Upgrade

Happy Monday My Blogger Friends! 

Today is Mix-It-UP! Monday, and I have an upgraded version of the card I shared with you yesterday.  I used the exact same product that was used to create yesterday's card ..... But I added a couple additional products found in the 2020-2021 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog to bring this card up to the next stamping level.

Here's my Spotlight Sunday card from yesterday on the TOP.....

And my Mix-It-UP! Monday upgraded card for today on the BOTTOM.....

The first upgrade I made to my card today was changing it up into a FUN FOLD style card.

I started out with a White base panel that measures 5-1/2" x 4-1/4".  To the top of that I added a Calypso Coral cardstock panel that measures 5-1/4" x 4".  Before I adhered that cardstock panel down to the front of my card ...... I used two 3" x 4" panels of the 'Symbols of Fortune Designer Series Paper' and scored both of those at 1" on the long side.

That 1" fold allowed me to adhered that flap to the back of my cardstock and then just fold both ends of that DSP into the center and create a triangle folded flap for the front of my card.

My sentiment was created the same way as I did yesterday.

And the large 'Layering Circle Dies' scallop piece was adhered to the top DSP flap.

The finishing touch was adding some stitching lines around my card...... and this card was done in no time flat.

So, what do you think my friends.....

Do you have a favorite???

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share a 3-D Tuesday creation with you ...... Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

You Mean So Much To Me

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends

Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the 2021 Stampin' UP! Mini Catalog.  This card uses several products from that new catalog ........ And I'm thrilled with the way it turned out.  Let's jump right in with my card share for today..........

My card for today starts off with a Calypso Coral base.  To the top of that, I added a panel of the 'Symbols of Fortune Designer Series Paper'.

Before I adhered that panel down to my base card ..... I wrapped some of the white ribbon from the 'Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack' around the top and tied it up into a pretty knot.

My sentiment was created using the 'In Bloom' set and I cropped out two 'Layering Circles' for my sentiment piece.

The flowers are from the 'Pierced Blooms Dies' and I'm totally IN LOVE with how those turned out.

And that's all it took my friends to bring this card together.

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share an upgraded version of this very card with you ...... Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!
