My Favorite Chunky Mini Album

Hi there,

I just finished a sweet little gem that I have been working on. In search of Valentine paper, I ran across some of my most fav papers by Making Memories. Wanna guess??? Yes, Chloe's Closet...:) When this paper is completely gone from my stash I will cry for sure. I love everything about it.

I started this book by covering some paper bags and chipboard covers with "Chloe's Closet" patterned papers. I then added in journaling elements/pages for more photo and dimensional options. I bound this book with my cinch and then began embellishing. My "Fav" chunky book is below...

This book was super fun to make. Please tell me what you think...:)

Thanks so much for visiting today...

2011 Christmas Album

Hi there,

We are almost there...almost into 2012. It's amazing how quickly 2011 flew by. Before we get to the 2012, I would like to share my Christmas 2011 album with you. Christmas was so wonderful for us. We felt so blessed to be surrounded by family. My little ones had such a fun time. The photos in this album capture those most wonderful moments.

To create this album, I started with paper bags for the base. I filtered in some corrugated board and then covered my pages with My Mind's Eye. Next I aged my papers and bound the book with my Cinch and coils. I added many 3 -D elements and photos. I LOVE chunky books, so that was one of my focuses with this album. This was truly a lot of fun. Take a peek...








Supplies: Patterned Paper and 3-D Elements: My Minds Eye; Stickers: Bo Bunny; Ribbon: May Arts; Punch & Dies: EK Success & Sizzix; Ink: Ranger; Metals & Buttons: Tim Holtz; Bling: Recollections; Beaded Stems: Prima

I love reading your comments, so feel free to leave me some...:)
Thanks so much for visiting.

Altered Chipboard Pieces

Hi there,

I wanted to share these little altered items that i created using chipboard pieces for my Diva group. The theme was chipboard. I used the Tim Holtz bodyform die and vintage ink, basic grey paper, CTMH pearls, hemp and some repurposed tulle from my girls tutus. They were made during breast cancer awareness month, but just realized that I didn't share them with all of you.

These make great magnets, embellishments for pages or pins...many possibilities.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Hugs,

Karen

Vintage Postcards

Hi there,

I have been busy busy creating over the past month and wanted to share some of what I have been working on. The following is a postcard that I created using some pins that I made. It was a spin off of some postcards that I made for a Diva swap last month shown in the 2nd photo. I had way too much fun with these...:) I used elements from Close To My Heart, beads, bling, and vintage ink. Love the way they turned out.
