Newly Listed On Ebay!!

Well after what must have been a well needed break over Christmas, I finally have some finished creations to list on ebay!

The first is a chipboard album, made with a Glitz Designs line called, Laced with Grace. Though they are not the heavy cardstock paper I am used too they are all really beautiful papers :)

The next is made from a classic Maya Road sheer acrylic album. I never get tired of using these :)

I used October Afternoon's Farmhouse line...that has become a new favorite! I already have a couple other albums started with these papers! I love the challenge of layering everything to accent the pages before and after the pages left sheer :)

 

 

 

        Check them both out on ebay right HERE! Thanks for looking :)

New design team!!!!

 I'm happy to announce that I have joined a new eBay design team called, The Paper Hen House! (I'm sure you have heard of them :) Just type in TPHH on ebay, and you'll be blown away! Never have I seen as much variety and creativity, all in one place...they really are a lovely bunch of ladies!! If had me bookmarked with PFOP before, it's time to update :)

Where has this week gone to? I listed some albums, a week flew by, now I'll blog about them too :)

I love how the cover of this first album came out! Papers for this paper bag album are from the Random collection, by Crate Paper.

 

Once in a while...I'll have no clue what to do for a cover, then it dawns on me, make it quilted! well it looks like a quilt, but i just weaved strips of paper together :) It's the perfect way to use up some scraps too! I also made the fabric flowers, and the chipboard "moments" where cut on my cricut. I must need a new blade..I had to sand the edges of these to make them "oc" quality. :) I like the tiny highlight of white around each one anyway. The tiny like letter stickers are by October Afternoon. These are my most favorite!!!! I am growing  quite the collection of "other brands" letter stickers, because I always go for OA first! They have a  matte finish and are perfectly sized :) 

 Each page has a tiny journal spot, and many have more handmade flowers :)

 

 

 

 It ends tonight on ebay, so check out the entire album right HERE!

The second album, is a handmade chipboard binder album. 50%  of the winning bid goes to Susan G. Komen to help the fight against Breast Cancer!!! 

 

 This album is full of handmade flowers too! 

 

The beautiful rolled flowers are by the talented Tammy. I LOVE these flowers...they are perfectly sized for all sorts of paper crafting projects!! Check out her Etsy store and pick yourself up some!!  ILOVETHIS

In trying to follow through with a bit of a country theme for this album, I used tea dyed denim for making some of the flowers, and they turned out so sweet!! I used frayed fabric for the closer ribbons, and even tied a little grapevine wreath to the spine.

This album also ends on ebay tonight. Check it out HERE!! 

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great week :)

Finally an Etsy shop I can be proud of ;)

Fall Frolic begins this week at PFOP!

Happy first day of Fall! I know it's beginning to look a lot like fall here in the Rocky's....the aspens are starting to change into their fabulous fall colors. Today also marks the beginning of Pocket Full of Papers Fall Frolic Design Challenge! This week our members will be showing off some amazing fall creations!

 For my first fall paper crafts, I decided to make some Halloween goodies. I used the 6x6 pad from My Minds Eye, called Mischievous. I LOVE how they found a way to add light blue to the rest of the Halloween mix of colors! My first project is a paper bag album I titled All Hallows Eve. I inked and painted lots of chipboard shapes to adorn each page :)

 

 

 

 

The second project I made were Halloween greeting cards. I made six in all...not bad from one tiny little six by six paper pad :)

99 cent listings on ebay!

I'm a few days late, (seems like the story of my life :) but I wanted to show off this months 99 cent listings on ebay!

The first of two chipboard albums, is made from a 6x6 pad from Trimcraft, called Desert. This is the first time I have used paper by them, and I really like it. Part of the pad has embossed glitter pages, the other is just nice matte pages. The print is scaled really nice for the 6x6 size too. I look forward to using more from them!

 

I used some letter stickers from my Crate Paper stash to name it "Family". 

I love how the colors are a gentle ease into the many fall colors I'll soon be using!

 

 

 

The second album is also made from chipboard. I cut the pages by hand, from tracing the edges of a few Maya Road sheer acrylic albums, and a few other misc. chipboard pages I had around, to make them all roughly the same size :) It is no easy feet cutting the chipboard either...esp. the curves, but if you are going to sand the edges as much as I do, it turns out perfect anyway :) The paper is from the new Six by Six pads out by My Minds Eye. I know I'll be using every single pad from that line! They are all so cute :)

 I used October Afternoon Mini Market letters to title it, "these are the days".

I'm still using some of the lovely rolled flowers I got from Tammy. I'm getting low now....I need more! :) Check them out for yourself at her Etsy store...I Love This!
