First Altered Tin

I made this a while back for my new cousin Harry, its a memory box with dividers for photos, stories etc. It was very easy to do and turned out super cute :) I've made a couple others that are similiar for other friends that have had babies this past summer. I enjoyed making them so much that i'm thinking about some as Christmas gifts- they would be great for recipes, cards etc.

Aly's Album

I have finally started to work on pages for my daughter's album last weekend, here are a couple i've had the chance to photograph, more will be coming :) I am a very simple scrapbooker but I love being able to share my memories with family and friends.

This page is kind of a cheat.

It's a beautiful patterned paper with quotes about motherhood and I just cropped a pic and pasted :)

Another patterned paper, I stamped "family" randomly in white craft ink from Stampin' Up! and added the little paper flowers.

Panama City 2004 Pages

I'm sorry some of these pictures are cut off a bit, but I figured after so long its better then nothing. I did these pages a while ago but I'm getting back in the creative groove and I need to share some pages i'm proud of :)

May 11th Card Night

I really love these long cards and since this stamp set will be retiring this year I thought it deserved to take center stage at this card night.
Stamp Sets: Stampin' Up! Fishy Friends, Happy Everything and the background is a stamp from the set Polka dots and Paisley.
Colours: Tempting Turquoise, Certainly Celery, So Saffron.
Also used is Dazzling Diamond Glitter from Stampin' Up! and the bubbles are from little finishing accents by Darice.

Here is a better close up of the fishy, you can really see the glitter and the bubbles look more sparkly in real life.

Stamp Set: Simple Sayings II and the Kindness Jumbo Wheel. Colours: Elegant Eggplant and Lavender Lace.

We also used the daisy punch and silver brads to accent.



This card is very simple but I am a huge fan of monocramatic so I couldn't resist. Stamps: Butterfly- Anna Griffin All Night Media, background is from the Rubber Cafe.

Colours: Stampin' Up! Chocolate Chip and Close to Cocoa.

Torn edges with a bit of sponging in Chocolate chip and this card is simple but very pretty.

Bridal Party Bellas

My wonderful friend Amanda is getting married this summer and i'm lucky enough to be included in the Bridal Party. Since one of the bridesmaids is out of town until days before the wedding (Ali is in Africa!) we all met up in Edmonton to have a stagette party back in March. It was a blast!

So with that in mind I knew I just had to use this stamp set to create something for us as a keepsake of all the good times we had at the stagette and will have at the wedding. They are photo holders, to keep our favorite photos of the festivites. I just took out the cardboard insert and decorated these cute fronts. I also included some tabs so that if the girls want to divide their pics up into stagette, shower, wedding they can :)

Photo holder I picked up at Superstore. Stamp Set- Bridalpartybellas by Stamping Bella. Coloured in using blender pens and Elegant Eggplant and Lovely Lilac. Dots and Daisies background by Stampin' Up! Colours are Bazill and I believe they are Fairy Dust and Pansy? I'm sorry I can't recall, but they're the colours of Amanda's invites, favours etc. I used some Dazzling Diamond Glitter to add a bit of bling. (if you click on the top pic it will come up really big and you can see how pretty it really is)

I sent these out at the end of last week, i've had them made up for a few weeks now but its been impossible to get to the post office- My most sincere apologies!!
