9 x 4.5 Book

I love this little project. It's a cute way to preserve, and display, memories!

This little book is made up of covered chipboard, and cardstock

A collection of LIFE'S colourful commentary

The inside is cardstock

The back is like the front!

Card Organizer

This will be the next class we do, in September. Details to be announced. This book is made from chipboard and an o ring. I am actually not a huge fan of my cover. I think will tear it off and do it again. I was going for whimsy, but I guess I don't do whimsy very well:-) I'll leave it for now and see if it grows on me,otherwise, I'll need to do something a little nicer.

The purpose of the book is to hold cards ready to use for birthdays and anniversaries. Whether you make your cards, or purchase them, this will keep you on the ball and organized!

An example of an inside page. I am still debating embellishing with some Big Shot die cut flowers or something. For now, I am leaving it plain...

The flaps are held closed with velcro, so you can make your cards ahead of time and have them ready for the perfect occasion!

Christmas Cards

The time has come to start thinking about what I'm going to do for Christmas cards this year. I loved what I came up with for 2009, so I hope I can have some great inspiration and love this years too. Last year I made a see-thru card out of an acetate sheet. I really loved how it worked out!

The front, I'm showing it with black behind so the detail shows up. I stamped on the acetate with white Staz On ink. The papers used were Basic Black, Certainly Celery, and Ruby Red.

The inside

The back. All this paper cut to exactly the same size and layered on the acetate, so that the adhesive would never show through on the other side. And from the front, you could only see that one square in the middle.

Grad card

It's always hard to come up with masculine designs for cards. This one was for a high school graduate. Using blacks and gray's, an acetate sheet for the 'window', geometrical shapes, and throw in some tinfoil, and you've a "man's card"!

First thought...randomly placed letters...didn't work so well, so I re-did that square!

Good Neighbors

A cute little card I made for my sister in law...a new neighbor and first time home-owner! "Her house", the red one in the middle, is popped out with a dimensional.
