Technical Difficulties & Some Paper Flowers

Hey everyone, Sorry is has been so long since I have posted! I recently was involved in 2 craft shows and our local fair so, I have been very busy. I also had some computer issues and shoud have them all worked out. But, the good news is that I have some cool projects to show you!!!!

These are some paper flowers that I sold out of at one of the craft shows: I do not remember who I learned these from but, I know that it was a video that I saw on youtube. Here is a close up of one of my favorite colors, this green is so soft and pretty!!! It reminds me of shabby chic!!!

I decided to group the colors into sets of three so that they would all coordinate together!!!

I will be starting my very first 12 days of Christmas on November 1st. featuring gift giving items for this holiday season!!!! Stay tuned for more info!!

Zippidee Gatefold Paper Bag Mini Album :)

I had so much fun putting this Gatefold Paper Bag Album together. It is another mini album that was created by Laura Dennison from Following the Paper Trail. You can view her youtube video on how to create this album. I have included 5 paper bags for each side and featured the Zippidee Paper Pack from Close to my Heart. This paper is PEFECT for Disney or for a summer full of memories at the park or playground!!

This is the front cover of the mini album. The sides are bound with duck cloth and inked to look rough!! I used an irresistables for the "fun" label which is embossed for a shiny effect. I also cut out a star and embossed it. I then created a lollipop flower out of B&T paper with a colonial white button & sparkle!!

The mini album has 2 covers. This is the top view of how the album opens up! Each paper bag has 2 ticket-style photo mats for pictures and the smaller bag section has one also for jounrnaling.

The album holds 20 large photo mats, 10 journal spots, & 5 decorative tickets!!!

Another view of the mini album opening!!

If you have any questions, please send me an e-mail!!  Thanks for looking :)
