Tags Mini Photo Album

 

 This mini photo album is created from tags cut from Graphic 45's Large Tag ATG Tag and Flowers Metal Die Set. The base tags and mats are cut from Stampin Up Very Vanilla Cardstock. The kit I used was designed by Karen Schulz and is called Dreamin'of Daisies. (designed in 2017)  The project and templates for the Tags Mini Photo Album were designed by my friend Clareene and prepared for a class she will be teaching in Mesquite in September.   There may be a couple of additions to this little album including cutouts and embellishments not shown here.

2021 Calendar Project

 I'm participating in a Calendar Challenge

at Digital Scrapbooking Studio using Calendar templates designed by Carin Grobe

  We participate weekly designing 4 month's calendars until the year (and its covers) are complete and our gift calendars are ready to print.

This year I didn't do them by theme as I have in other years

---So each one is totally different from the one before. 

Tea Bag Dispenser Project

Inspired by the beautiful dispensers you can see In Reene's Room this Tea Bag dispenser is made out of checkered paper (Carte Bella's "Buffalo Plaid, perched on black ball feet, and decorated with teacups that are brushed with 3Dcrystal Glaze and a little glitter. I still have some dangly teabag tags to make, and may even use real ones as I finish this off.   The Rosettes are made with a die and so is the large center flair under the white rosette on top.  The black jewel on top is a melted pony bead.

Happy Tenth Anniversary to Our Niece

Ten years is only the beginning! May this milestone be just one of many---

Wedding Anniversary

Get Well Quick, Jim

Hope our friend recovering from surgery will enjoy these pups from AIG "Doggie Kisses" stampset. The papers are created in Photoshop and found in Snickerdoodle Designs by Karen's retired digital scrapbooking kit "Puppy Love"  I've used Prismacolor Pencils with gamsol technique on the White Red River Paper cardstock that's been run through the printer.  Nuvo Glimmer Pen and white pencil creates the bandages and cone. Some Glaze pen accents, and glitter penaccents finish off this card for Jim.

Happy Independence Day, 2020

I made several Independence Day cards using AlteNew's "Land of the Free" stamp and dieset and Taylored Expressions wonderful Stamp and Stencil Combo, "Fireworks Background"  This fun project also used Nuvo silver glitter, silver EP,  Red Nuvo Glimmer paste, Ranger Blue Embossing Powder, Ranger Moon Dust stickles, SU Real Red and Night of Navy inks, SU Real Red Glitter paper, and various cutouts created in photoshop.  All of the cards had different messages inside but all with an all-American flavor.

Happy HAPPY Father's Day Roger Wonderful

Why are there so many

Songs about rainbows

And What's on the other side?

Rainbows are visions

But only illusions

And rainbows have nothing to hide.

So we've been told and some choose to believe it

I know they're wrong--wait and see

Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection

The lovers, the dreamers and me.

Who said that every wish

Would be heard and answered

When wished on the morning star?

Somebody thought of that

and Someone believed it

Look what it's done so far

What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing

And what do we thing we might see?

Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection

The lovers, the dreamers and me.

"Rainbow Connection is a song from the 1979  film "The Muppet Movie", with music and lyrics written by Paul Williams and Kenneth  Ascher.
The song was performed by Kermit the Fog in the film.

(Inside sentiment reads)

Here's a rainbow of wishes for you on Father's Day Honey.  Do you Realize? YOU are a rainbow in so many people's clouds.  You see HOPE at the end of sorrow, JOY at the end of a storm, and

Love at the end of every rainbow.  Smile today and enjoy the simple truth that YOU make an awesome difference in so many lives. There is no one I would rather celebrate all the good times with and wether the storms with that YOU sweetheart.  To my wonderful Husband

Happy Father's Day

This card is created with Honey Bee Stamps Circle THIN FRAMES (HBDS-CTFR) Heart is a starform sticker, and rainbow is touched with Nuvo Clear glimmer pen for sparkle.

Wish we could all celebrate 21 --like we did 12~ 

 Wasn't that fun!

Gecko Roll Up Treat Box

The Belly Band

This Roll up Treat box is especially made for my husband's GREAT Physiotherapist, Steven L, who has helped him so much during the past six weeks.  It is created with beige and green cardstock and the 2 sided designer paper is by PhotoPlay and is called "Lizards"  (#NAT9672)  The little geckos are photoshopped to match the colors and accented with Nuvo Glimmer, Stickles rhinestones and enamel dots. The tutorial for the Roll Up Treat Box can be found at Mixed Up Craft  also InReene'sRoom and in my May 28th post here at Priss Papers N Pixels Blog.  The project takes quite a bit of 12x12 paper because basic measurement for the boxes is 11 5/8 ---just bigger than regular cardstock.  I love the character you get from each Roll Up you create.  Fun!

Mini Album

This intricate Mini-Album was designed by  Becca Feeken using the Spellbinder's collection of mini-album dies created for "Elegant Mini Albums Made Easy" Tutorial is located in the scrapbook.com classroom.  This one is created in white on white and accented with rhinestone border strips.  This is a demanding project, not easy, and uses at least 12 sheets of 12x12 paper.  Turns out ABSOLUTELY gorgeous.  Dies are intricate and of good quality and very versatile.  Cost of dies alone is upwards of $75.00 at this time, so it is wonderful that they are versatile and can be used in dozens of applications and projects other than a mini-album.. Dies held up well through at least 100 cuts.
