AccuCut Baby Crib Custom Die




Hi Everyone!
Here's my latest custom die that I designed with AccuCut Craft Custom Shape Pros. I have a ton of baby pictures of my girls and thought it would be perfect to create a baby crib die. I can't wait to make one for each of them. This will also make a great baby gift. I loved that I can also create a matching card to go with the mini album. For the boy crib mini album I used one of my all time favorite Nursery Tales collection by Prima and made a this mini album for my nephew. I really loved the shade of blue and green on the design papers. The card I used was K and Company's Watercolor Bouquet. This collection is so beautiful and was perfect for this die. I'm so happy with how it turned out and I can't wait to start my girls mini albums.

Altered House and Tag Book





Hi Everyone!
I purchased this adorable paper mache house from Michaels and loved the the size and shape. For the roof of the house I added the I Am Roses soft green two toned maple leaves and sprayed the LSG Glitz Spritz Scintillating Silver for that extra shimmer. I just love the new Romantique and Pixie Glen collection by Prima. The side of the house I added the soft green leaves, white curly flowers and mini roses to create a garden on the side. I also added a mini rose as my door knob for my door. I really enjoyed creating at tag book for inside my house.

Mini Roses R2 - 15
Soft Green Two Toned Maple Leaves L0 - 721

Camera Album








I've been wanting a camera album for quite some time and found the perfect one from AccuCut Education. I love that it had both the cover page and inside page to create an album. I have so many ideas of what I want to do with this camera die. What I loved the most is that I can use any paper collection and it will go perfect with this die. I take so many photos and knew I just had to have this. For this album, I created a Bird theme album to dedicate my love for birds and birdcages. The K & Company Life's Journey and BW Flora and Fauna are one of my favorites and thought it would go perfect with this theme. I really loved how it turned out. I'm planning to add photos of different birds I had taken during my trips to the Zoo with my family. I can't wait to make one of my girls first day of school with the new Fancy Pants Off To School collection.

Mommy and Me Crop

This was my very first Mommy and Me Crop with Ashley at A Scrapbooker's Tale. The crop was hosted from 10am to 2pm. Ashley was literally counting down each day til the day of the crop for an entire week. She was so excited that she set her Monkey alarm clock to make sure she woke up early to get ready. Of course mom had to get her Starbucks that morning, and just had to get Ashley her favorite Double Chocolate Chip. As soon as we arrived, she couldn't wait to push her rolling tote. Brandy had given all the kids an adorable mini album kit to create a mini book. Ashley worked on her mini album right away and completed it so fast. I was so proud of her.
Brandy gave all the kids a raffle ticket and Ashley was super happy when she called her number. The prize bag was filled with a ton of goodies that she couldn't decide what to get. heehee She picked a adorable Grandparents stamp set and can't wait o make Grandma and Grandpa a project with it. We then had lunch and hung outside to eat. It was so much fun. We went back inside and she couldn't wait to work on her next project. She brought a Michaels box to alter and wanted to create it for Brandy as a "Thank You' gift for hosting the crop. Ashley also created a cute card to put inside the box for her too.
Next thing you know, its that time to go home. She didn't want to leave and had asked me , "Is the next crop tomorrow?". heehee I thought that was too cute. I can't thank you enough Brandy for hosting the wonderful crop for Ashley and I to share a special crafting day together. I look forward to the next Mommy and Me Crop.

I love this picture of the two of us.

Ashley had the lucky raffle ticket.

Ashley so excited to create her mini album. She loved the "Mommy and Me Crop" label sticker. You can see the smile on her face as she stares at it. :)

Ashley Mini Album. I love it so much! Watching her create this with so much joy was priceless.

Here I created a mini suitcase with a mini album and a teacup with a mini album using clear sheets from AccuCut Craft

Dog House Notepad



I had so much fun creating the dress form notepads that I had to create a dog house notepad using my new AccuCut custom Dog House Album Builder die. My mom also uses a ton of notepads and had to make this one for her. She loves her dog Max so much and thought this would be perfect.

Dress Form Note Pads



I'm always using a note pad or post-it note and thought how fun it would be to create a dress form note pad. I love dress forms and knew Bev's new trims at The Piece By Piece would be beautiful to add to them. I can't wait to create more note pads with my other die cuts.

Muslin Flowers



Hi Everyone!

I love creating Muslin flowers with the LindyStampGang sprays. I created my first Muslin flower four months ago using the Moon Shadow Mist and loved how it turned out. I wanted a Vintage flower and thought how fun would it be to create one with Muslin fabric. Here I created some with my AccuCut #28 Flower die with the Drink Me Silly Set and just love all the colors. These flowers are great on any project.

Scrap Tag Journal



I wanted to create a Junk Tag Journal but as I was creating this, it was really hard to look at it and call it "Junk". heehee Since I use my scraps and leftover papers and embellies after creating a project, I thought calling it a Scrap Journal sound much nicer. I had a ton of the Tim Holtz #8 tags and thought this would be perfect for this project. I always take pictures wherever I go with my girls and love to capture every moment. They're all my favorites, but there's always one or two that stand out. I thought it would be fun to add those pictures in this tag journal for my girls to keep.

TPBP Follow The Yellow Brick Road Mini Album






Growing up watching the Wizard of Oz with my cousins were one of my favorite things to do. My cousin Stephanie introduced me to the Wizard of Oz and we would just hang out at her house and watch it over and over again. If I remember, we had also seen a school play and I feel in love with the movie even more. I was really happy to see Graphic 45 create a collection in honor of the Wizard of Oz and it was really fun to create this mini. When I think if the movie, the first think that comes to mind is the yellow brick road and just had to create that at my mini book. Of course, this is the first time I ever had to adhere the same color cardstock to all the pages. I really loved how it turned out and the papers had so many images to cut. The Piece By Piece has so many beautiful trims that went great with this collection.
