New Projects

So in preparation for our local street fair..

I have been making many paper goods.. 

So excited.. 

Here are a few little things that I have been working on the past few days..

A cute little album.. 

Come on.. you know you want to put your pictures in it.. 

I love the paper..

It's called Farmer's Market.. 

Then I decided to make some more fun tags.. 

Some cute little woodland animals..

Have a good one!

Hello Target!

So like all people know.. 

The best things are found at Target.

I found these chipboard albums at Target for a buck..

So sorry all simi valleyians..I bought them all.. 

But there was only six..

So I made a lovely chipboard album..

First, I traced the shape onto my pretty papers..

Cut out the papers..

Then glued them onto each side.. 

added embellishments.. and tada.. 

a lovely school album..

Hope that you enjoy!

DIY Mini Album...

So.. I have been thinking of different ways to make some cute mini albums.. Mainly just to show off pictures of my baby boy.. because.. he's freakin' cute.. lol.. 

For this project I used:

  *Big Kick machine

  *Die cut of a frame

  *File Folders

  *Patterned Paper

  *Eyelets

  *Hole Punch

  *Eyelet Punch

  *Ribbon

  *Glue

  *Divine Twine

First, I used the die cut machine to cut out the file folder..

This is the base for the album.. 

Then I cut out the paper that I wanted to use to cover the file 

folder cut outs with.. 

I glued the paper onto the file folder on both sides.. 

On one side.. I glued divine twine underneath the paper

straight through the middle.. 

This string will be used to secure the middle piece 

to the rest of the album..

I took the square that was cut out from the die cut.. 

I glued the patterned paper on one side of the square.. 

and then put it back in the center .. 

On the other side I glued the square onto the twine and then 

added the other square of patterned paper ..

After the page dried I cut off the extra string..  

When all the pages were assembled I punched holes on the side.. 

and punched eyelets through the holes.. 

The eyelets worked perfectly for the notebook rings to go through..

And then i just tied some ribbon to the notebook rings..

These are a few others that I made..

Sounds like alot of work.. but once you have your stuff together.. it went quite smoothly.. I made two in one night.. only took about two hours.. so cute!  

Now just to add the pictures.. 

Autumn kisses...

So another little project that I have been working on is an mini album for this autumn.. it is still very much a work in progress.. but it has come to a short pause while I work on some other things..

I folded paper bags in half and punched two eyelets in each one.. I just put them all together on some metal rings.. Using the paper bags is nice because then you have little pockets every other page to store some goodies in ..
here's what I got so far..

We will see how it ends......
