hello all

LOVE is the theme for this week's challenge at the pumpkin spice blog. i have copied and pasted all the details at the bottom of this post.

i gave this to my darling husband on valentine's day. i hope he does not take advantage of it.

 (wink-wink)

i made 5 mini pages with 5 love coupons to be used at anytime. 

the patterned papers used here are the lovely "blush" from my mind's eye lost & found two collection available on sale right now here, among a whole lot of other goodies. i sincerely love all the lost & found and i love it more when i can find my goodies on sale. :D

here is my collage

this booklet turned out adorable, imho and my hubby loved it. the tickets read: love, good for a kiss anytime, good for one hug anytime, one kiss: no expiration and naughty or nice? (from a christmas stamp--hehe).

i won't bore you with the directions because if you need my help with it you can ALWAYS email me with your questions or write them in the comments section and i will get back to you asap.

other supplies used:

A SWEET JAR MINI ALBUM....mason jar shape

here is a collage of the finished project.

i love how it turned out so

AWESOME!

(THE COSITASDPAPIER IS MY ETSY SHOP WATERMARK, SORRY!)

SEE YOU AROUND!

MASON JAR...trendy mini album

hello to all,

again, i want to start thanking you all who still visit my blog and those who have the time to comment.

i know i have been neglecting this blog for a while now and even i thought i would have more time now that my son went back to college, i have not.

i have also neglected so many things in my household and bit by bits i am getting to them. i know you all understand we must have our priorities in order.

BUT,

in the bits of time i have for my lovely hobby, i like to share what i make with you all.

this is an album i have been working on. you all know i am not too trendy, but i like these jars and they seem to be popping all over. i chose this die cut from the doodlecharms cartridge (the same die cut i used HERE) to make the base for my album.

i do not have a title yet for my album cover but i am leaning towards

"Sweet Jar"

hehe

7 inches tall

the patterned papers are from dcwv berry street farmer's market. i like this paper texture very much. it resembles fabric and even when you touch it you get a different feel than regular cardstock. i thought it was ideal for the album's style of a mason jar.

the cherries are from lyrical letters, image#47 of the overlay, and it was cut at 3.25" high.

the cherries are mounted on thick chipboard, the brown stems were covered with puffy paint and heated up. the leaves were wet embossed with clear thick embossing powder.

the pocket was traced and cut by hand, and if you take a closer look, you will see i have machine stitched on all the paper edges. a bit of diamond stickle was added to the cherries.

those tags are from a jolee's collection called french general and they too have the look and feel of fabric. actually, i think they have a fabric lining on them.

the album was bounded using the bind it all.

the album has 4 pages you can use front and back what makes it 8 pages PLUS the back of the cover and the front of the back cover  makes it a 10 pages in total. Plenty of room for pictures, journaling and memorabilia.

i am happy how is turning out and i will post more pics when finished.

in the meantime,

  this is how my craft room looks while in the process of making a project. :P

but at the end, i organize everything and start all over. lol.

can't leave it a mess.

my curtains at this time are two gray t-shirts, lol. they filter the light just right until i get something else or make them into real curtains and not "wanna be's". 

(this window faces west and i get so much sunlight, it hurts my eyes).

i know i can change the furniture around but i am really happy so far, with this layout.

well, this is it for now.

i hope you get some ideas from this album and maybe make some and share the love.

take care!

and thank you for stopping by the hut.

MY PINK STAMPER PINK-A-LICIOUS BLOG HOP

WELCOME

to our monthly

PINK-A-LICIOUS BLOG HOP

my name is agnes and i run this my flowerdiscos scrap hut.

i am also one of My Pink Stamper designers and i hope you have lots of fun with our hop.

we have a line up you can follow but at the end you must go to the

My Pink Stamper website to participate in her challenge. My Pink Stamper designs clear stamps among many other things has tons of video tutorials on you tube and and  
tons of fun projects and lots of giveaways.

her stamps are of great quality and i love working with them. you will find lots of versatile sentiments, phrases and punnies among them.

we are showcasing her latest release in this hop.

my project for today is a mini album.

i used in my mini the "flowers & friendship" set

The Earth Laughs in Flowers

2.5" x 4.75"

the "happiness" on the tab is from this new release too. the little dots on the background are from her first release, yay...her first release and i still use it often enough.

the base for my mini is 10" x 4.75" real size

i used the from my kitchen cricut cartridge for the tab folder.

i scored it at 2.5", 5", 7.5". 

each panel ends up being 2.5" wide.

the sentiment above is from another stamp set called:

"everyday sentiments".

the sentiment on the right is from this new release:

"flowers & friendship"

the "my journey" was stamped with another stamp set called:

"font-a-bulous"

the "heart to heart" is half of one of stamps from the "flowers & friendship" release.

the mini red hearts the fairy on the left is blowing away are also from her first release and before i forget the name is "simply sweet occasions".

and of course, the most beautiful one, in my opinion, is the title for my mini

"the earth laughs in flowers".

as i always say, these My Pink Stamper clear stamps sets are so versatile you can use them in any project. be creative with them, and do as i did with the heart to heart and the happiness on the tab . all i wanted on that page was that and i was able to stamp it the way i wanted it.
you can too!
any time you hover over "my pink stamper" on this post, it will take you to her site.
you need to stop there to join the challenge and why not check out all her stamps while there.
one by one, you can own them all :D

if you have any questions on my mini, please, email me.
i did not want to keep you here forever reading instructions since this is a hop and
we are 20 designers, what makes it 20 stops :)
