ahhh!

I love the feeling of going to the Post Office and sending off books! I just put three little beauties in the mail. One for Becca, one for Ash and one that's a secret! I'll wait till she gets it to show it off, but it's a really cute little girly one. I just love getting to do anything pink and/or girly!

So the book for Becca is actually for HER friend Rachelle. I used dusty blues and browns and shades of light green. It was interesting doing a book that was half girly half boy-y. LOL But I do like the way it came out. It feels very sturdy cuz I used mostly MME printed textured cardstock. I LOVE THAT STUFF!!! I can't use just regular paper now...regular paper feels like kleenex to me after using all that yummy thick cardstock.

The book for Ashley is a wedding book. It's a "blank" one, and as usual I just don't know if it's good or not. I never feel 100% great about my blank ones! I like the feeling of making them 100% complete but oh well, what can ya do. Hopefully she loves it and it's a hit @ the Bridal Shower.

long time no talk

Well it's been a long time since I updated, but here I am! And I have lots of new pics to show....I have a new Dad paper bag album that would be a great Father's Day gift. But my most favorite new thing is the album I made for my dear friend Stevie, the book is all about her little girl Finnley who is just about the cutest little thing ever. Stevie likes pink & brown so I used those colors and I just LOVE the way it came out! I even like the cover, and I never like my covers!

C is for....

Another letter! I guess I should wait until people order one to decorate them, but oh well. I like doing it and I think they're cute! This one, I'm not so sure about the ribbon & charm, but I have a thing about 3's. I always need three things on a layout or whatever. I think it might be too much though. Hmmm....

letters & books

I've been very productive this week, I got TWO WHOLE ITEMS listed! Woo hoo! The first is an altered letter R that I've had laying around for forever and a day. I used this cute brown & punk bird paper to cover it, then added ribbons, a charm and primas. I really had to resist the urge to not go overboard on the embellishments!

Second, I made another paper bag album, a Pregnancy Journal. This one is so bright and colorful, I LOVE it! I really like all the colors of the paper. I used alot of textured cardstock too, which I also love. Hopefully someone else will love it even more!! lol

bow time

It's been awhile since I've made a bow, and I LOVE how this one turned out! I love the colors and it has just the right amount of fluffiness. I only wish I had a little girl to get an outfit to match it for! Hopefully it will find it's way to someone special someday, as it is currently for sale in my etsy shop!

sweet peas!

All these lovely sweet pea items are from everyone's favorite site, etsy!

felt rocks

So I'm always seeing all this cute stuff made out of felt on etsy. Of course I think "I wonder if I could do that"...and now I started trying it out! It's totally fun to just experiment and play and see what I can come up with. I was a little disappointed in the selection of colors that I found, but I only went to 2 stores so far. I'm sure there's some really cute stuff out there waiting for me to find it.
