Prima Time Traveler Mini Album

I had so much fun creating this.  I was inspired by the educators of the Prima design team.  I love the colors and images in this collection, and it's become one of my favorites.

If you're interested in seeing the interactive elements of the mini album, you can watch my video:

Botanical Tea Butterfly Project

Hello!
I have a project share with lots of pictures.  It's artwork that I plan to display in my craftroom.  I used a butterfly die from Accucut, but instead of using the die cut shape of the butterfly, I used the negative, or leftover space.  I wanted to not waste any of the papers and also show different ways of using the die shapes. 

The pages are curled and slightly lifted off the page to create a dimensional look.  The base is made of medium weight chipboard and covered with the papers.  Here are more close up pictures:

 

The paper collection is Botanical Tea by Graphic 45, and I used some embellishments by Prima Marketing. 

 Come watch my video taking you through my project:

Prima Cartographer Mini Pocket Album

Hello!  Just a quick share on a project I was working on.  I wanted to play with the Cartographer papers from Prima and made a pocket mini album using an Accucut die.

Inside the mini, I also used Tim Holtz Idea-ology embellies and Ingvild Bolme Junkyard Findings.  I made a video taking you through the pages of the pocket mini:



Enjoy and thanks for stopping by!

Masculine 40th birthday card

Here is a card I made for a friend who turns 40 this month:

I used Bo Bunny's Timepiece 6x6 paper pad, and Papertrey Ink's stamps and numbers dies and tag.  I also added a metal hardware by Ingvild Bolme for Prima.

For the center panel, I grouped some birthday sentiments together and stamped a pattern for the background of the tag.  I also inked the edges with distress ink.

For the inside, I created a pocket for the gift card, and stamped a sentiment.

The small tag is die cut and stamped with Papertrey Ink.  Added some string to tie it together.
