Home Sweet Home Series Introduced!

At long last a project that I have been dreaming has started coming together, and I am so pleased to introduce you to the first in a series of new houses in the neighborhood!

I am having server issues, and can't seem to upload photos or videos ... very frustrating!.... but want you to know that I have the kits and information that I have posted on my facebook page ready for you!

The Home Sweet Home Album Series is a great book, encased in a box shaped like a house, and the first edition will be the LOVE AT HOME album that will be perfect for a first home, your home, bringing baby home, a gift for someone who is moving, or any other special event having to do with home.  It is matted with Fancy Pants Hopscotch papers, and embellished with original PRINTABLES and created with windows, doors, greenery, fences, even a kitty that are all original CUTTABLES.  You get the entire kit, (chipboard, cardstock, designer paper, hardware, tutorial, showcase, and cuttables!) for just $55.00

When you get your next kit, you save money, because you already have the tutorial!

The next one coming out this week will be the PUPPY PALACE, which is Home Sweet Home for our precious Pups!

Coming next will be the LITTLE RED SCHOOL HOUSE, ideal for all of those wonderful school photos and capturing the memories of the classroom and childhood.

Down the road are THE BEACH HOUSE,  THE CLUB HOUSE,  THE PLAY HOUSE,  THE LITTLE MONSTERS' HAUNTED HOUSE,  NANA'S HOUSE,  CHRISTMAS HOUSE, and more!!

Each one is created from the very same tutorial, but with a different outside treatment, paper lines, PRINTABLES and CUTTABLES!!

SINCE I AM HAVING COMPUTER ISSUES (So very sorry about that!! ~ It may be the storms we are having here in FL), if you are interested, please email me at the address in the sidebar, and I will communicate with you by email, and send you a paypal invoice, and get your kit on it's way to you!

Remember, you can view the video on my facebook page, and I hope to have it up on YouTube, and here soon.

Happy crafting !

Summertime Album Class

This is the project I have created with the flip flops I gave you last week, and will be using in this week's class.  It is a brand new alternate cover to be used with the pages from the "On the Road Again" Album from a few weeks ago!  How fun :o)

 The album is designed to hold LOTS of full sized photos and journaling, and can really be designed for any theme.  My granddaughter is visiting, and will be making an album like this to take home with all of her summer fun recorded inside!

Here I have printed the flip flops at 2 1/2 inches and paper pieced them, then created a pocket on the front for the tag.  

I hope you will be able to join us in my UStream Class at 8:00 eastern time, Tuesday evening.  Class will be a bit short tomorrow night, as I need to help with a run to the airport.  We will be making our album cover, and matting the pages we did in class before.  If you missed class, you are invited to watch the recorded classes at any time.  Just click on the blue icon in the upper right corner of this blog, and it will take you to my UStream Channel.  See you there!

"Tops" for Christmas Projects and a Sneak Peek!

It is Tutorial Tuesday at Digital Delights, and it is my turn to create something fun with Wendy's adorable images.  This week I have four of her precious "Toppers" which you frequently see on the top of candy bags ... so cute... but this time I have them doing other fun things!

Here we have Mr. Snowman as the bearer of happy tidings with a choice gift card from every kids's favorite place, Wal-Mart! 

And now we have Peeking Santa looking out from his perch, checking to see who is Naughty and Nice!  His smile tells me you are all on his "Nice" list!

Here is a video showing friends, Moosey and Elf, and there are quite a few images available more in the STORE.   The video will show how to make gift card pockets to slip into the stockings, as well as a complete photo tutorial on how to make a "Meandering" Mini-Album from just one double sided sheet of 12x12 cardstock.  I hope you enjoy it!

Don't forget about "Something Yummy For Your Tummy" on my UStream Channel tonight at 8:00 eastern time!  We will be creating FIVE projects, plus Mrs. Claus's Cookies (for real!!)

Sneak Peek of tonight's class!  See you there :)

4th of July Mini Album

It's time for those incredible accordion ablums to come back.... and what better subject than Baby's first Fourth of July?? 

It is Patriotic Mini Album week at BettyBee's Buzz so I decided to create a special brag book for Erin's other Grandma, since she is so far away.  These little books are very easy to make, and have a ton of "real estate" (as my friend Kathy says!) 

This shows the layout of one side, with spaces for 4x4 photos, journaling, and some cute embellishments.  The other side has two more full squares behind the covers.

And here is a close up of how it looks behind the cover, and a little of the stamping and doodling that gives it such a charming look.  I hope you will give it a try~ 

If you have never made an album like this one.. I have done a YouTube video, and you can find it here.

♥♥♥♥♥

Have a wonderful weekend, and if you are here in the USA, please take the opportunity to truly celebrate the freedoms and liberties that we enjoy and hold dear, and share their true value with a child.  Say the Pledge of Allegiance with them... express your gratitude for our Soldiers and Sailors... tell them what Patriotism is... believe it or not, many don't know... trust me, I've asked, and it's pretty sad when they really have no idea.  We owe them a lot.  God bless you, and God bless the USA.

Ellie, the Get Well-ephant!

It has long been a tradition with our family that we have a Get Well-ephant when someone is in the hospital or home sick for a long time.  I have created other things where folks could sign a get well poster, etc., but today's tutorial over at Digital Delights is the first mini album I've created for such a purpose. 

It features the delightful Ellie from the Jungle Buddies collection, and is also covered with digital paper that has Miss Ellie all over it.

 The inside is a delightful array of squares and triangles that provide a TON of real estate for recording a lot of Get Well love, which we all know is the very best medicine!  I hope you will pop over and check it out! 

Happy creating!
