It's a Simon Says Stamp Birthday!




Okay...that sounds a bit confusing! Lets' clarify things a wee bit. First off I just have to say THANK YOU to SSS for inviting me to be featured on their blog again! It is always a huge honor, but this time it's extra special because TODAY is my birthday! Woohoo! Okay, on to the project! I sure hope you like it! Here's a teensy-weensy sneak peek!




Planners and journals are all the rage right now and while I LOVE those out on the market I always like to make something unique for myself! When I received a sampling of Prima's new summer releases I instantly fell in love with the Memory Hardware Tall Journal Book. It is the PERFECT size (about 5"x7") for a journal or planner...and for slipping into my purse! You can check out the whole project, including step-by-steps right here on the SSS blog! xoxo

It's a Cakewalk Kind of Birthday!

Sheesh! My poor neglected blog! I do have GOOD excuses though! haha.

I've been traveling a bit - to Paris and London.
My daughter got engaged!
And I've been running to and fro with the kids...
And I've been fighting a bacterial infection for weeks. Oy.



So...until I get the pics edited from Paris and London how about a quick little post with a project I made for my adorable granddaughter's birthday back in February?

Amariah at her 3rd birthday party with her princess friends! (She's the short one!)

















Amariah in her Cinderella dress we got for her!













































So on to the book! I LOVED this paper line by October Afternoon the first time I saw it. In fact when I pulled my supplies to make the album I found out that I bought the SAME paper line & embellies.  TWICE. Haha!

Now who does that? Fess up! I cannot be the only one who has done that. Right?

This line is so stinking cute though! I am sure I will use it all up scrapbooking my little Sweet Pea!

























Is this not a FUN vintage-luscious birthday line? The little vintage boy and girl are a-d-o-r-a-b-l-e!


















Pages 1 & 2




Page 1 has a list of party games played!




Page 2 is ready for a picture of the birthday girl!

Pages 3 & 4

Pages 5 & 6















Page 5 flips up to show off this vintage sheet!


























Isn't the chipboard banner perfect for a birthday celebration?




Just grab the little pin and open up the page!



I popped those cute little gifts up on foam for a ton of dimension!





Pages 7 & 8:



Page 7- I made a mini-book inside the mini-album!



There are 3 extra pages to tuck lots of photos inside.


Page 7 opened up



Page 8 has another pocket. 
(They are so easy to make and you NEED a place to pop things in, right?)




 The Back Cover



















So there it is! This was one of the most fun albums I have ever made...maybe because it was for my little granddaughter. I could not WAIT for her to open it up at her party!

Mixed Media Baby Album

One week-end I was playing around with a new resist canvas mini-album, new pastel chalk edgers and wood icons...

 ...and decided to make a whole album it for my daughter to put all the baby stuff in once she has her little girl due in June!



 The colors are soft and sweet and totally PERFECT for a new baby girl! 


















(You could definitely customize this to fit a boy too.) 





















First color the cover with chalk edgers. Then spritz lightly with water and blend with a wet-wipe.



















I used the following products:















PanPastels, SpectraFix (for sealing the PanPastels-you can spray it inside!), Ranger embossing ink, Prima Chalk Edgers, Fabri-Tac adhesive, doilies, stamps, Hello, Pastel papers and a bunch of fun Prima stuff. See bottom for list of Prima stuff, video of class and Friday Freebie link!



Here are some of the inside pages!




















 

The inside flap is colored with Comfort Craft Chalk Edgers with a Prima Newsprint Mini Frame.
