Creating is Fun Baby Blog Hop

Hi guys! Today, the Creating is Fun DT gals and I are hosting a Baby Blog Hop. Each DT member has created a project using some goodies from Creating is Fun.

One winner will be selected at random to receive a wonderful prize package, which will consist of a $25.oo gift certificate to Creating is Fun ... so be sure to hop along and leave a comment on each DT's blog post to increase your chances of winning!

Now on to what I created.

I created this adorable little pocket mini for a friend.  She wanted an album with pics of her daughter to give to her Mother-In-Law.

This sweet little girl loves the camera so much, I had a terrible time only picking 9 photos. :) I printed the photos out on my Kodak PictureMate and left a white border on each one.  The mini-album kit is from the "Amy Butler" collection by K&Company.  The kit came with lots of cute little embellishments.  I used some of the twine that comes on the Manila Shipping Tags to tie on the sweet blue tag on the right.

On the left page, I added a layer of Light Purple Lace and a Lilac Button from Martha's shop that I threaded with some twine for the Manila Shipping Tag.  I used a bit of Light Purple Ric Rac on the right page.

Aren't these pics, the cutest?  I adore her precious looks!  I used some more of that Manila Shipping Tag twine to thread through the tag on the left.  I used a Small White Tag that I sprayed with LSG "Cotton Candy Pink" for the page on the right.

I used another Neutral/Beige Button threaded with the Manila Shipping Tag twine.

On the left page, I used a bit more Light Purple Lace.  I left the frame open at the top on the page on the right, so she could write a small note to her sweet Mother-In-Law.

I ♥ how this album turned out, so sweet and simple! :)

Camera "Be You" Mini-Album

Happy Friday everyone!  My Spring Break is quickly coming to an end.... :(  I do, however, have an adorable project to share with you today for Karlas001.  I created this adorable Camera "Be You" Mini-Album for a sweet friend.  She loves to take pictures of her baby girl and updates her blog with such cute pictures.  I am always stalking her blog to see what her little dolly is up to.  My friend loves crafts, but isn't much of a "scrapbooker."  So...I thought I would take some of the photos she has taken and create a small mini-album for her.  My friend is an A-M-A-Z-I-N-G photographer and her daughter is uber cute, so I had a very hard time picking out 10 photos. Hehe :)

Here it is...

I cut up Cynthialoowhos Blingy-looking Black Mesh into strips and used it as borders throughout the mini.  ♥ that B-L-I-N-G!

I stuck one of the Clear Mini-Tulip Flowers into a crocheted flower...so sweet!

I added a touch of the Tim Holtz Film Strip Ribbon to go with the camera theme.

My friend and her family live on a farm, so I though the title of this book was so appropriate! 

See what I mean...is she not an amazing photographer?  ♥ her photos!

I left blank spots on the back of each page for her to journal a bit about that particular photo.   

I CANNOT wait to give this mini-album to my friend, I hope she enjoys it as much as I enjoyed making it.  I am in ♥ with the way this turned out, did I mention that already? Hehe :)

Announcement: Lindy's Stamp Gang Design Team

I am so excited to share some wonderful news with you today....Lindy's Stamp Gang has asked me to join their Design Team!!!  When Tracey contacted me, I was in absolute disbelief.  I ♥ LSG and cannot create a project without using their products.  I am elated, over the moon, super excited...I think you get the picture! Hehe :)

Here are a few projects I created for LSG...

A card for my Valentine

This card measures 5.5" x 5.5".  The base of the card is made of kraft cardstock and layered with some designer paper.  

I altered up a glassine bag to hold the tags I created.  I sprayed the bag with Cotton Candy Pink Starburst Spray.  I then used the Midnight Pewter Obsidian Embossing Powder to emboss the sentiment on the bag.  

The flowers also have a gorgeous shimmer.  The large pink rose was sprayed with Pretty in Pink Pink Starburst Spray.  The pale pink rose and creme cherry blossom were sprayed with Desert Moon Cactus Gold Glitz Spritz.

Here's a peek at the inside...

The second project I created was a Valentine Canvas Mini-Album.  This canvas mini started out a neutral color.  I painted the outer canvas cover with my Dark Chocolate Truffle Color Shot.

The handmade envelope was sprayed with Desert Moon Sunset Pink Glitz Spritz.

I love how the Cotton Candy Pink shimmers on this canvas page.  The mulberry flower was sprayed with Azure Sea Asters and the hand dyed seam binding was created using Cotton Candy Pink.

The mini roses were sprayed with Desert Moon Sunset Pink Glitz Spritz.

This adorable canvas page was sprayed with Azure Sea Asters and the flower was created using some loose mulberry petals sprayed with Cranberry Mist Burgundy and the light pink flowers were sprayed with Desert Moon Sunset Pink Glitz Spritz.

Cranberry Mist Burgundy hand dyed seam binding.

The last canvas page was sprayed with Cranberry Mist Burgundy.  Click HERE to watch a video on how I created this canvas mini.

I love these Valentine "Snow Globes."  This is such a versatile project.  You can alter it for any holiday/occasion.  I used smooth sided Mason jars and altered them up!  I took strips of white cardstock that I sprayed with Creme Brulee Cream, Poinsettia Red Gold, Cotton Candy Pink, Hottie Patottie Hot Pink, and Pretty in Pink Pink and then punched out each heart to create the confetti in each jar.

The lid of this jar was painted with Berry Red acrylic paint that I mixed a bit of Alpine Ice Rose Magicals into.  The Magicals just give it the perfect shimmer.  The sentiment was stamped onto a piece of white cardstock that had been sprayed with Cotton Candy Pink Starburst Spray.  I hand-dyed some white seam binding with Hottie Patottie Hot Pink and Poinsettia Red Gold and tied it in a bow.



I added a glitter Styrofoam heart on a bed of lace and showered it with some more of my handmade confetti.

The lid of this jar was painted Warm White and then sprayed with Scintillating Silver Glitz Spritz.  I also sprayed the crocheted flower center with Scintillating Silver Glitz Spritz and added a bit more handmade confetti.

My final project is a handmade pennant banner.

I cut the pennant banner base out of brown cardstock and sprayed it with Cotton Candy Pink Starburst Spray.  I layered on some designer paper.  The flowers were sprayed with Cotton Candy Pink Starburst Spray as well.  I cut the bird cage out sprayed it with Scintillating Silver Glitz Spritz.  The birds were sprayed with Dark Chocolate Truffle and then Scintillating Silver Glitz Spritz.
 

I painted the grunge board letters using the Dark Chocolate Truffle Starburst Color Shot and then sprayed them with Scintillating Silver Glitz Spritz.


I tied the banner together with white seam binding and added some resin flowers at the base of each pennant.  Click HERE to watch a video on how I created this pennant banner.


I am so excited to join the lovely and talented ladies of Lindy's Stamp Gang.  Thanks for stopping by today! HUGS ♥

'Twas the Night Before Christmas Mini-Album

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house...I am running around like a crazy person. LOL.  Does anyone else feel like Christmas just appears out of the blue?  I always start planning early, but for some reason all of these last minute things just pop up and I am suddenly out of time! :)


I created a Christmas Mini-Album for I Am Roses to share with you today.  I used the "Blitzen" collection by Bo Bunny.  The mini measures 6" x 6".

I sprayed this beautiful 2" Rose with LSG Rudolph's Nose Red. Isn't it gorgeous?  The rose is flanked with a Brown Black Cherry Blossom (my all-time fav!), a Soft Green Curly Rose, Red Mini Roses, Small Green Leaves, and a vintage bell.

Here are pictures of the mini-album pages...

I love how the Brown Mini Roses look like ornament toppers! :)
