First I would like to show you the box I made to put my baby album in.  I had a devil of a time trying to decorate the top. I used one of Rangers Keyholes on the side.  It kind of brought together the legs with the box.

Baby Album

Recently I made a mini album and finally got around to decorating it.  I love this paper from Graphic 45 called Little Darlings so I used it to decorate my album.  The pattern came from Laura Denison Designs at Following the Paper Trail.  The tags pull out so you can put a picture or journal on them.  There is a 4 x 6 mat inserted into the pocket to mount pictures on.  The flap lifts up for more real estate.  Enjoy

Mom would you

Today I get a phone call "Mom could you make me a cute birthday card and have it here before the mail goes out"  Yikes what was I suppose to do.  Guess I could have just said "Sorry" but hey where's the challenge in that.  So I used the sketch of my last card and made this.  She liked it, I liked it and someone's Mom got a birthday card.

This is another Mo's Digital image.  That woman can draw.  This one is called Bunches.  I colored the image with my copics and cut it out using Spellbinders Nesties.  The flourish is from Cherry Lynn Designs.  The flowers I punched out with a punch and sponged the edges.  The leaves are a punch from Nellie Snellen.  The card measures 5 1/2 x 5 1/2. 

Fan's Cricket

Don't you just love it when a card you make comes out exactly how you wanted it to.  Thats how I feel about this card I made.  I wish I could get a better picture.  But I was surfing the web and came across the Sugar Nellie blog hop (http://www.sugarnellie.blogspot.com/2012/05/fifi-goes-shopping_26.html)  One of the designers name is Marianne ( http://mariannespapir.blogspot.com)  I fell in love with her cards.  She talks about how if you have an unusual card it makes it all the more special.  She has a few tutorials to show different ways to cut  and fold your cards to give them that little edge.  So this is one I cased from her site.  The card opens where the punched edge is.  The image is one of Mo's Digital Images called Fans Cricket.  Crickets are a symblol of good luck in Japan.  The paper is from a 6x6 pack called Botanical collection by Prima Marketing.  The rolled rose is one I cut using the Itty Bitty Die from Spellbinder and the leaves are a punch from Nellie Snellen.  You get two punches one to cut with and one to emboss with.
