SCHOOL DAYS MINI ALBUM

hello all,

i have to say i always liked this type of mini. i like the different sizes and the sneak peek of the pages. very easy to make as we all know and you can embellish it any way you want for whatever occasion you need.

just add some pretty pattern paper, die cuts, stickers, pics and you are ready to show it off.

i made it for a nephew who just started kindergarten. my niece can add some pics and notes about that special day. if she needs more pages (sure she will), she will let me know (she will) :D

i just wanted to share it with you all in my today's 

"digi playground post".

the size is approx: 9" long x 2-3/4' tall not counting the inserts.

-the pretty school theme paper is from we are memory keepers-

-a few more pics-

 -some of the embellishments are stickers and others die cuts i made-

the mini pockets and inserts come with the svg file as you saw on the screenshot.

no need to say my niece and nephew loved it and i loved making it for them.

it turned out simply adorable!

this is the original file

designed by carina gardner

-and, below is a screenshot of how it looks on my virtual mat is prior to cut-

(as you might know i use the cricut explore and cricut design space for my die cutting including all my digi playground svg's.)

Note: when in design space, do not forget to attach the score lines to the images, in this case the mini album base.

hope you enjoyed it and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask them.

 once again, 

thanks for taking the time to stop by.

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

hello and welcome to my blog!

my name is Agnes and as you already know i am a my pink stamper designer. i enjoy my paper crafts, gardening and sewing and i am so proud to be a designer in this team.

this is my project to share with you today. 

the requirements are to use a stamp from the "Yummylicious or Sweet Goodness" stamps set and make a treat/goodie bag for any holiday or any theme.

Sweet Goodness

4" x 5" 

matchbox

this is a beauty of a goodie box.

my sweet goodness stamp is from the Yummylicious set from no other than my pink stamper, of course ;D this is her hop and i am a proud designer of hers...as i mentioned before. i do not own the "sweet goodness set" but you will find the sweet goodness phrase on both sets:
just different fonts.

 you might be able to tell or not...that this is a matchbox from tags, bags, boxes and more. :P

 i cut it at 5"

above you see the top cover..
the jar is from doodlecharms and i cut it on cardstock and vellum. the vellum is the one on top.
the fruits are from the preserves cart and were wet embossed .
the tag is from home accents and the sentiment you already know is from the yummylicious stamp set from my pink stamper. the blue ribbon is a dyed bias tape i received as a rak.

this matchbox turned out to be a perfect goodie box.
and you will find many awesome stamps to match any of your paper projects in my pink stamper stamps. i invite you to click ----HERE----  and see it for yourself. you will also will find the online retailers who carry her stamps.

remember at the end of the hop going back to my pink stamper website and participate in the challenge.
