Weddings!!

Hello readers,

School is back in session and I have some free time!

Ahhhh, weddings...
Summer is the season for them.
Can you believe, I had 3 weddings of the same color??
Yellow and gray is HOT HOT HOT!

Here is an accordion fold premade.
The papers are from Authentique.

I also created some gift bags, they were so cute!!

I used my printer for the bags and the little name tags!
Notice the tiny yellow heart?? Too cute!

Craft season is beginning!!!

More premade albums...or just one!

Hello friends and family,

Here is another Christmas album I wanted to share...

This is an accordion fold album and sells for $12.

The lady in the background cracks me up! (I didn't see her when I took these...)

This is a view of the other side. Plenty of cute embellishments! 

I like using metals, pins, staples, clips, etc. in my projects...AND do not forget the punches!
The tag is a punch and so is the reindeer! You can't see it but his nose is covered in red glitter.
So cute!

I need to make chocolate covered pretzels...Pictures will go up tomorrow!

Have a great evening!

Kathy

Season's Greetings

Hello my friendlies! Hope you all had a super weekend! 

We woke up to 3-4" of SNOW on the ground. I went to bed at 1:00 AM  and no snow, soooo it was pretty surprising to wake up and find the ground covered in the stuff! 

It had all melted by 3:00 in the afternoon so it is just sloppy outside! 

I need to find the gloves, hats, boots, etc...

Here is another accordion fold album I am working on. The title says it all "Seasons Greetings"

The title was cut using my Cricut! Love that little machine...

This album measures 6" x 18" when opened and uses only 1 sheet of cardstock for the base. 

The pattern papers come from the newest Christmas Stack by DCWV.

I love these papers. AND I love plaid!! I am not really a flowery girl but I love my plaid & stripes.

Each page can hold a 4" x 6" photo. Or sometimes people cut a pic in half so 2 photos 

can fit into that space!

Hey, whatever works for you! The little tag in the corner is attached by a gold brad and can swing side to side. I made the tag using a Marvy punch.

I always use buttons in my scrapbooking and paper crafts. It looks naked without them! 

Well, to me at least.

These make great gifts because everyone has photos! They are easy to mail and can be finished in 10 minutes or less. All you need to do is cut your pics to size then adhere them to the album. That's it. The designing work is done. We found the papers and embellishments, cut it all and assembled it! These are our best sellers, by far!

Enjoy the upcoming week!

Wedding Albums

Business Stuff: My mother and I have been doing craft fairs for the past 15 years. It is my main source of income and we take it very seriously. We concentrate on quality products, good packaging AND a snazzy display! We also accept credit cards which brings in WAY more money!! Some shows we do everyone accepts credit!...Just some info for you! 

Onto the crafts...

Here are two more samples of pre-made albums. They measure 6" x 18" when opened fully and only use 1 sheet of 12" x 12" cardstock to make!

This one is for the more traditional bride with colors of black, creme, and ivory.

This color combination is the most popular! It really goes with anything...

I try to keep the pages simple to let their pictures really stand out! For the outgoing bride I make...

These albums has lighter colors including pink, blue, silver and white.

I include a large paper clip on most of my albums! I just think they are the neatest thing...

LOVE this paper, and I am not even a girlie girl! 

Mostly tomboy!

And I gave birth to 4 boys...go figure!

Fall is approaching

I was shopping at a local craft store and the Christmas trees were out and decorated!! Did we just completely pass over FALL?? What about trick-or-treating, colorful leaves, and taffy apples!!! My B-day is in the fall, so naturally it is a fun time for me...Plus it starts the holiday season. Here are a few pre-mades for fall:

This is made from 4x4" chipboard. So easy and I love the little leaf punches...

Here is a pre-made my mother did...I feel like some candy!

ENJOY!!

Accordion Fold Album

One of my favorite little books to make is an accordion fold album. I use only one 12x12 sheet of cardstock for the base, but you can make these as long as you wish. This one is for the doggie lovers! I own 4 dogs at the moment...At a recent scrapbooking retreat, Susan B. bought this pre-made,  finished it after dinner and showed us the album. We were blown away by the end result. This is exactly what I had envisioned when we started selling the pre-mades! She did a fantastic job and we loved seeing the end result!! Most of our buyers finish their albums or give them away before showing us their handiwork! Great job, Susan!!
