Memory Flip Album

From Adriel:

Here's another new item in our shop and what a great way to show off some pictures and memories!

Chipboard panels have been covered with beautiful designer paper from Stampin' Up! There are 6 beautiful pages completed and ready for pictures. The back of each page has a special journaling spot.

The whole album is put together with file rings at the top with cute ribbon tied around the rings. The album stands upright on its own. Cute!

Today we're teaching our Christmas Treasures class in the afternoon and evening. I'm looking forward to spending some time with our stamping/crafting friends. We get to make some cute stuff and it will be enjoyable. =)

*Hope you're having a great day! Stop by again soon! =)*

Stitched Bella Bleu

From Adriel:

I was inspired by THIS CARD a few days ago and made a card based on it with the Bella Bleu DS paper from Stampin' Up!.

I used my mom's sewing machine on the zig zag setting and sewed away! It was fun. I need to incorporate sewing into my cards more often... it adds a special something! =)

Anyway, I thought it turned out pretty and would be perfect as a wedding card. It has that look. =)

Here's what I used for this card! Hope you've been inspired today to make something lovely!

Simple Thank You Card (using my Big Shot)

From Adriel:


Even though I'm out of town until Friday, I thought I would schedule a couple of posts this week so that the responsibility of the blog doesn't fall on my mom. She is taking care of my kids this week, along with getting ready to go on a trip of her own next week, so she doesn't need anything extra to worry about!


I thought I would share a simple thank you card I made recently using my Big Shot. Actually, almost everything on this card is made using the Big Shot (except for the small flower in the middle of the larger and the stamped sentiment).



I needed some thank you cards for my recent birthday, so I made a couple of these up. Very simple, and although it took me longer than it should have (because I was debating and planning and creating as I went along), this would be a pretty fast card to make. =)


I used:


Fundamental Phrases set (this really is fundamental and comes in handy so often!)

Sahara Sand CS
Baja Breeze CS
Ruby Red CS
So Saffron CS (or Barely Banana... can't remember which)
Whisper White CS

Ruby Red Stampin' Write marker (my ink pad was dry)

Sizzix Big Shot
Matchbox die
Daisies Flower #2 die
Scallop Circle #2 die
Backgrounds 1 Texturz plates


What is funny is a day or two after I made this, Kristina Werner posted her color inspiration challenge. All the colors I used here were used except for the Ruby Red! =)

Have a wonderful day!!

What We've Been Working On...

From Adriel:

My mom and I worked on 3 of our coupon organizers Tuesday. We got the covers all done and ready to assemble the rest together!

We recently got some new designer paper from Stampin' Up!, so it was fun to break it out and work with it. We will have these new organizers done and in our Etsy shop SOON!! =)

This one is made with the Bella Birds DS paper... soft and sweet! =) And I love that beautiful, blue, satin ribbon that adds to the elegance.

This one is also made with the Bella Birds DS paper... almost has a little western look to it. My ribbon needs a little work... =P

This one is made with the Urban Garden DS paper... so striking and gorgeous!

Who knew coupon organizers could be so stylish and fun!?!?!

Thanks for stopping by! We enjoy all your comments! =)
