Made a couple of birthday cards

Had a great time with this one.

Used the TH 3D embossing wave folder, 

used a stamped mermaid and used the crayons

to color her in, and variety of die cuts.

I did steal the envelop cover from someone 

I follow on IG.

I just happened to have a leftover piece that

worked perfectly on the flap.

Inside.

I have love those stamps.

I really enjoyed this card too.

I find I love to make scenes and this one

was fun to do.

Got to use dies I don't use much

and I don't know why. 

And the TH muttlings are a fav!

I found I did have a pet paper pad that I didn't

realize was for pets as I have none 

and the bones are a hoot for the sentiment.

And paw paper for the balloons.

 

Make Waves - 6x6 mini album

This 6x6 paper pad was an impulse buy.

I loved it the minute I laid eyes on it.

And no matter what...

I was buying it even though I knew I'd never really use it

personally, because I really don't know why LOL.

However, made a new friend that loves the beach 

and was in a creative mood so.....

she's getting a mini album

and the title totally fits her "Make Waves".

This paper pad by P3 whom I never heard of

(but I'm not really cutting edge anymore)

gives you 3 sets of the same papers 

that I thought was cool because I did a lot

of fussy cutting and pop dotting.

And because this is an album cover page with pop dots

I added transparency to kind of shield it.

Hopefully.

I wanted to shabby chic it up because it practically begged for it

so I cut my own chipboard pages and they may

or may not be a tad wonky.

And I mussed up the edges on the papers.

Also included, are quite a few embellishments and 

journaling spots that need fussy cutting.

Ah man didn't see that scrap of better when 

I was taking pix and I already gave my friend the album.

Sigh.

So I used every paper at least once and

sometimes twice and

whacked a lot of stuff out.

I did add a couple of my own die cuts 

that may or may not work well.

Love the dimension pop dots give 

and hopefully she won't be afraid to add

photos and journaling.

Of course I forgot to photo the back of the book

but its just white gesso over chipboard

a tiny envelop that came in the embellishmehts

and a stamp that says

'created just for you.'

 

Hanging from a plane

Favorite eldest son is an adreneline junkie.

Here he is hanging from a perfectly good plane

and I'm not seeing a chute.

In the meantime,

I couldn't find any paper I liked for a base so

I made my own using oxides and distress inks along

with the sun stencil, and some stamps.

That plane is perfect.

Anyway, I was going to put a regular photo there

but nah! I just couldn't it needed 

fussy cutting and some pop dots.

It was a fun page to do.
