'Wrapped in Plaid' Flip Flop Album is perfect for Christmas!

I haven't made one of these Flip Flop photo albums for a long time!  They're so much fun to make! 

For this one I used the beautiful Wrapped in Plaid specialty designer series paper and added a bit of Gold foil accents throughout. 

It is 6 X 6" square and uses White 12" card stock, Cherry card stock and the Wrapped in Plaid specialty designer paper.  To finish the front I used the Perfectly Plaid punch bundle, the Merry Christmas dies, Red Rhinestones and Shaded Spruce/Gold ribbon.  That pretty gold foil scalloped piece is from the Stitched Be Mine dies.

Follow Your Art Sampler!

Look what Melissa made for her July club swap!  Holy moly it's cute!

It's a crafty sampler; and I believe it is about 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" in size. She used the Follow Your Art suite of products for it along with the Hand Lettered Prose alphabet dies.   She cut the letters from the Follow Your Art designer paper. The It Starts with Art bundle includes the stamp set and dies to cut out most of these images here.   

You can see these products here in my online store.  Or click on the photos below.

I put these adorable pages together from our Santa's Workshop Memories & More card pack.  They came together so beautifully and I didn't stamp one single thing!  It's all pre-printed on the cards.

It was out of stock until this week; so get yours ASAP before they're gone again! 

They're perfect for both scrapbooking and card making!  I'll share a few cards with you tomorrow.

I did add some White, Black and Coastal Cabana card stock layers, a bit of the Poppy Parade ribbon and a few of the Santa's Workshop Enamel Shapes that coordinate so beautifully with these products.   The cute stickers are from the cards package!

Quick and Easy Paper Pumpkin Scrapbook Layout

I loved January's Paper Pumpkin kit!  It was just FULL of beautiful copper and vellum accents.  I'm still working on my bonus projects for my current subscribers but here's a peek at one of them.  A beautiful scrapbook layout I created using many pieces in the kit.

February's kits are already on their way but if you want to get in on March's 5th Anniversary kit be sure to subscribe before March 10th.  They're including an extra special gift in this year's anniversary box. Don't miss out and regret it.  Last year we received an additional BIG stamp set! 

And if you order a 3, 6 or 1 year subscription you can pick out 2-4 FREE Sale-a-Bration choices!  Now that's a good deal!   And from me you'll receive extra bonus project ideas for each month's kit! 

 

Petal Garden Memories & More

My friend Melissa made these two projects for our October share challenge.  I love how she used the Memories & More card pack on both a card and a scrapbook page!  

She used one of the cards as her main greeting along with the Petal Gardens designer paper.  What an easy yet gorgeous card to make!  I also love her double bow that coordinates wonderfully.  It's our 1/8" sheer ribbon that coordinates with the Petal Garden Suite.  See most of it on page 57 of the main catalog and the Memories & More on page 192.

Now look at this beautiful scrapbook page of her sweet daughter.

She fussy cut a few of the roses from the Petal Garden designer paper stack and added them to the page.  It's so striking!  One of my favorite parts is the title; it's just perfect here!
