for a dear friend, a folder card to hold and to keep

Today I want to share a folder card made for a special friend in my life, Carol H.
We go to the same Bible study small group in our church and she had been a wonderful friend since the day one we met back in 2012.

The purpose of the card, besides sending our group's warm messages for the period we missed her (when she couldn't attend some of the sessions)  it was also meant to hold few study sheets I saved for her during the studies.It has two folded pockets, nothing to hold bulky items but just few small pieces.

I liked the vibrant colors in this card. It's from a beautiful paper collection from Close To My Heart that was available in promotional campaign only.

I'm very grateful for her and have her as my friend and sister.

from CK blog, creativity heals...

Hi:

I really wanted to keep this thought posted yesterday in Creating Keepsakes blog so I copied to share it in here.

I'm sure that creativity CAN heal and it can do a great job. Without "over thinking" or overwhelming myself I do believe this is a really nice way to find new horizons for the healing process.

Hope we all can remember and practice this constantly.

Happy Day!

Our little valentines[cards}

Mommy & me {ed.}

:)

My 5 y-o woke up today asking to make "something" for daddy - who's working just like any other day of the week - so I came up with making valentine cards*, I mean little cards.

This is what we "made together".

Winter Thoughts Mini Accordion Album

This is a 6" x 6" accordion style album, basically with 8 pages including the cover and backcover.

Some pages background were made from Art Philosophy die cut collection.

I also used the CTMH new [big] snowflake overlay to embellish the cover with a shiny rhinestones-filled brad. Love these.

Simple color scheme and accents.

Blue and chocolate, way to go!

Today I'd like to share a video where my friend Stacey is showing some creative ideas of how to add more interest to Studio J layouts.

Hope you enjoy it!
