Well I don't know about you but I use lots of saved things on my cards and this card is no exception. If it didn't make it on one card, chances are it will get used on a card in he future. LOL The center stamped image and the sentiment are from Spellbinders BetterPress Letterpress system. And I really love this system. The plates get inked up and then I ran it thru my Big Shot machine. The plates deboss the paper and leave a super crisp image that you can then color. I used some watercolor to color the image. Those swirl flower and leaves in the corners, they are from a tile that I got at Dollar Tree. I used part of the tile and had these left over so I put them in my scrap box. Well, when I made this card I needed something for the corners and I liked the way these looked on the card and they were the right size so I used them.

Another Birthday Card for You
Merry Christmas
Happy Birthday
Travel - Mini Album Mania
Hi Everyone and WOW it's March. Spring will be here in a few weeks and I know we all are waiting on it with baited breath. LOL
It's also time for the Mini Album Mania challenge. The challenge will continue til April 15, so you have plenty of time to make a mini book/album and submit it.
I happened upon a cool lil album that is fun to make and pretty easy to do. Its known as a Blizzard Book. Here is a link to a video (no sound) for a visual tutorial https://www.pinterest.com/pin/210684088811952581/
I added a cover and each page has a pull out
This album measures about 2 3/4" X 6". Each page has a pull out piece that gives you the opportunity to write notes etc. so each page has room for notes etc. This is perfect for a weekend trip and you can also use this design for grocery lists and a whole host of other things.
that became the pages for this album
I inserted CS sheets on each page for notes.
They are held onto the page by sliding between the triangles on the pages.

Dream Big
Whoo Hoo!!! 2024 has arrived, do you believe it!! January is here and 2023 just flew by. The first Birthstone Challenge for the year has started. Since birthstone colors don't change from one year to the next, an optional theme has ben added. The optional theme for this challenge is New Beginnings. (New job, new home, new baby etc). The birthstone colors are still.
Have a Nice Day
Hello and welcome to 2024.
It's time for the first challenge of the year at Love To Scrap Challenge. For this challenge I usually go thru all my leftover bits and pieces that weren't quite right for other projects and use them on a card/project that I make for the Love To Scrap Challenge.
For me, its fun as I go thru a whole bunch of stuff I have saved and come up with a card to share with you all.
That big pink oval was calling to me and then I spied a smaller oval cut from DP in the pink family and it worked well with the large oval. The stamped bird had a pinkish colored flower and that seemed to fit with the pink colors I was looking at and then I spied a fence just waiting for something to sit on it. My background DP has pink in it, so, it all works well together (IMHO)
Well if you are like me, you save lots of things. So go thru them and make a card. and submit it here at the Love To Scrap Challenge. I know I'd love to see what you have made.
Thanks so much for stopping in today to see my project!!
I will be back soon
T'was The Night Before Christmas
Hi Everyone,
Welcome to 2024 !!!!!! Hope your Christmas was a great one. I know Christmas is over but I am always looking for something for the next Christmas challenge over at the Merry Little Christmas Challenge blog. And the Merry Little Christmas challenges are always Christmas themed so if you like to make Christmas cards all year long, this challenge is right up your alley. The January/February challenge has begun so, let me share with you my card for this challenge.
Different looking cards always catch my eye and this one sure did. Easy to do. My mom always added....." if you know how." LOL
Here is the front view
Butterflies - Mini Album Mania
Happy New Year!!! and welcome to 2024 and it's time for the Mini Album Mania challenge.
I decided to make a small (mini) album and for me this is really small.(LOL) I usually make 6"X 6" or larger albums so this was an interesting project (size wise) to say the least! LOL
This mini album was really easy to make and after I made the base, I wondered what to use for the theme. Since I have made lots of Christmas cards for my consignment places, I decided on a different theme..... butterflies. I am rushing spring, hahaha.
Let me share my project pics.
