My newest albums, and one of my favorite quotes!

I just love the quote on this album! "The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough." by Rabindranath Tagore.  What a great title for a few beautiful pictures.
 I love the soft colors of this DCWV collection called The Linen Closet. Despite all the sanding I do on these mixed shape albums, lol, it was very fun to make... pretty sure it just flowed right out of me! :O)

Album number two this week is made from the Basic Grey Offbeat collection. This was VERY tricky for me! So many colors and patterns.... I think it turned out pretty nice though :O)
 I used a Mellisa Francis envelope and tag album for the base, so each page has a pull-out tag for journalling. I finally decided on "lighthearted" as the title, I knew I needed something a little quirky! :O) I used the "horseshoes and lemonade" font, printed it out on cardstock and cut out each letter.

The "rolled" flower on the cover is my second or third attempt at these...they are not the easiest things to make! LOL...one of these days I hope to better perfect the technique!
You can check out the rest of these albums on ebay. Thanks for stopping by! 

New on eBay!

I finally have a couple new albums listed on eBay :O) Seems this month has been all starting albums and no finishing them! I finally got some gumption and finished up two new ones.
Both albums are made with Basic Grey papers, that I must say I got an awesome deal on from Crafty Steals. Check them out and sign up your email, or you can fan them on Facebook to find out which "steal" they have to offer everyday! I got four 6x6 Basic Grey pads for $15! :O)
The first album is done with the Granola line. I used a paper bags for the base, and the cover features weaved strips of paper, and flowers I cut from one of the pages.

I made the wrinkly little perfectly coordinating flowers, by hand cutting random flower shapes.

Then I crumpled them up and made them into little balls while rolling my hands together. Folded them back out and they looked like this :O)

Put on a brad to hold them altogether, and there you have it! I just love wrinkly flowers what can I say :O)
