Family Art

I made this 'family' art to go in a frame I already had. Adorable decor, for next to nothing!

This incorporates almost every technique possible! It was so fun to make. It took me a few hours on Saturday afternoon, and Sunday afternoon, to get it done. Since I don't have a Big Shot, I cut out everything by hand, and that took some time! The letters are colored chipboard.

In my livingroom. I totally love it!

Tri-Fold Album/Card

This is not really an album, and not really a card either. It has some room for pictures and journalling. It would be perfect for a wedding, new baby, anniversary, or similar special occasion. I made this one as a thank you to my family for having us for Christmas this past year.

I saw this/similar online and attempted to recreate it myself. This was my first attempt, and I was pretty happy with the results. In the end, I think I might have used a few too many different paper patterns (might be a little busy), but still, it works. I will re-work it slightly and make it a bit smaller for an upcoming class. Stay tuned!

Meander Book

I saw this little book online, and this is my first attempt at making my own. It's called a meander book, and the inside is made of one continuous (not cut apart) sheet of 12x12 paper! So cool! The finished product is about 3.5 x 3.5. I decided to make mine full of "love quotes". I simply adore quotes, and I think this is really cute! It's not perfect (my first try), next time I will make a few adjustments, but it's close enough!
