Weekend Projects: Altered Calendar and Photo Album

Two Weekend Projects in one post, before the end of the year! I made these this month, the calendar for a Secret Santa at church and the photo album for my niece. The photo album is a store-bought one, and I just added handmade paper, glitter, a stamped ribbon, paper flowers and gemstones to the cover. I printed the best photos from the...

Variations on a Card

Oh, boy! I was busy this Christmas! Thought I had finished all the Christmas cards and found out I still needed more! So, these are a variation on the first batch...I used gold embossing powder on these instead of clear (on black ink). The flower on the left card was stamped, leaves were colored with green marker, cut out and embossed in clear....

Christmas Kitten Card

I almost gave up on this card because it went "wrong"...the kitten was supposed to be placed more to the left. But at a second glance, it was perfect for some of the stamps I have (BasicGrey). The die-cut Christmas Tree and cut out kitten were made/done using Slice Elite. Stamped images were colored with Copic markers. I think it ended up quite cute!...

Weekend Projects: Announcement Cards

Finally, I've finished my baby announcement cards (actually, a couple of weeks ago, but I'm only posting it now)!  I had pre cut/punched some of the elements BEFORE I had the baby, but got "kinda" busy AFTER I had the baby...so had to work on them little by little. Not much rubber stamping, as you can see...only the borders, because I wanted something...

Crash! and a Card...

So, my computer crashed a few weeks ago...again!  So posting was something that I couldn't do even if I wanted to (right now I don't feel like posting since I have to nurse my new baby every 2-3 hours!).
