Wood mini album - Today be amazing

Here's my completed wood Heidi Swapp album - been done a while but I've only just got round to uploading it as I haven't been very well. I had a lot of fun playing with the Color Shine mists and loads of bits and pieces. Sorry about the amateur photography - although the sunshine does show the layering and texture.





This is an envelope

Inside the envelope - some "from the heart" journalling to Cara


Last layout straight onto the wood!

My place at Scrapbook.com - see my old stuff!My place at scrapbook.com

and as I suspected - the quality of the slide show is rubbish! If anyone can let me know a way to upload movies with the quality uncorrupted, please let me know!

Altered Perpetual Calendar

Here is  a perpetual calendar that I bought from a bargain basement and altered using Teresa Collins Memories papers - beautiful. I have one of my tinpot slide show movies to upload with step by step of how I altered the calendar, but I can't seem to get it uploaded properly - all sorts of trouble!




Here's the slide show (hopefully) the photos were all taken with my iPhone x







Box Card for Mother's Day

here's another little box card - I made 3 altogether.
This one uses Echo Park Beautiful Life papers and Lori Whitlock Silhouette cut file.

Box Card

I've seen a few of these little box cards about lately, so I thought I would have a go because I love them and how incredibly neatly they fold flat to go into an envelope. The possibilities are endless. This is my first attempt, using the basic cut file, (Lori Whitlock design), in my Silhouette Cameo.
The papers are DCWV. So much fun, more to come!


Box framed 6 x 6 layout

Here's a little 6x6 layout which I put in a box frame and I'm now going to change for something else. I guess I must have made it a couple of years ago, but I still love these photos. I used some bargain store silk flowers which I cut up and then added little resin flowers to pretty things up. I thought it would be nice to share it with you before it goes into an album.






Star cutout mini album in envelope - 7 Dots Stuudio

Here's a quick little project I did at Christmas 2013, with photos from the previous year. It's not Christmassy because the photos are of varied times. It came together very quickly because there's no room for dimension and I didn't do any inky, painty messy stuff, just clean cutting and sticking! I used only the stuff in the collection kit so I guess it took me about an hour start to finish. I absolutely LOVE these 7 Dots Studio "Messy Head" papers and elements. They speak to me and are incredibly useful. I used a Silhouette Cameo cut file and went from there, knowing I wanted it to have Cara's eyes peeking through the star cut.
Whilst I had my camera out taking photos of a recent project, I thought I would take some of this too.
