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!

new videos about scrapbooking...Stay tuned!

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!

Here's a video to give you an idea on getting ready for the busiest time of the year!

Planning earlier to create gift tags in "bulk" can get you inspired even months before the holidays and may be a great time saver too.

White Dream in July

I'd like to share today one cute gift I received from Terri ( our Christian Paper Artist Group ) who made and sent this beautiful vintage match box, in last December.

She used everything white in a rich combination of whites which gave the project an amazingly pretty effect of textures.

Loved how she used different materials and fibers. So classy and sweet.

Inside of the box there are lots of little treats and vintage goodies that made my day when it arrived to me. So thoughtful gift for a scrapbooker, from a very talented mixed media artist.

:)

Again, the wonderful feeling of a white Christmas in July.

Sharing with you - :),

Passion for butterflies - one card

It has been since when I was a teenager...that I discovered how I was (and still am) fascinated about butterflies and everything about this amazing creature.

Now, more than ever, as scrapbooker and paper crafter myself, this passion has been even deeper. Just love the nature sense of it that overcomes beyond its visual beauty.

I've been collecting recently some butterfly stamps and crafty things to work with.

The card above is one I made a couple weeks ago, with a friend, during one of our Bible Study sessions.

Everything is possible when you believe. This has been my "motto". So in here it is combined with the dream of butterflies.

Supplies for the card:

paper, pearl, ink pad - CTMH; punch - Martha Stewar; stamp - Verve.

Thanks for stopping by!
