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:

White Wedding Card

We have our friends getting married this weekend, so I set out to make a card for them.

I made this card using Cardabilities sketch #102 and Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge to use white.  The background is made using an embossing folder.  The stamp set is by Inkadinkado.  Added some I Am Roses flowers, ribbon, and pearl stamen and spray.

Stationer's Desk Mini Book

I had many visions in my head when I got hold of one of Prima's latest collection.  I wanted to create a mini book with lots of folds and surprises.  It measures 6x6 and is held together with seam binding.

Here is the cover with the ribbon untied:

On the side I added my favorite find:  Ingvild Bolme's tassels.  They are so beautiful, and this burgundy color coordinates with the papers of the collection.

If you would like to see the inside of the book, please watch my video below:

Mother's Day 2014

Happy Mother's Day!  I made a card for my mom last week so I can mail it out to her.  I used one of my favorite Graphic 45 paper collection:  A Ladies Diary.  The banner tag, doily, and stamped/die cut flower are made from Papertrey Ink. 

I stamped the inside as well and added a border sticker.

I used Sketch#98 from Cardabilities:
