Shoe Box swap card.....

This is the card I made for a Shoe Box swap coming up next month.  The stamp set, Life's Adventures, is a hostess set out of the new Stampin'Up catalog.  I used an origami fold made from the DSP paper stack and layered on Coastal Cabana and Whisper White card stock.  Colored the fox with the new Blendabilities and popped it in the center.  I used a Whisper White card base. 

Secret Garden wedding album....

 I attended a wedding reception over the weekend and decided to make the bride and groom a mini wedding album.  The theme of the wedding was "Watch Love Grow" so the Graphic 45 Secret Garden paper stack was perfect for this album.  

I used absolutely no embellishments in the album, the paper is just too pretty to cover up.  The album measures 7"X 7.25", has six pages on a stack the deck hinge system.  Each page will hold seven to eight photographs.  

Each page has a large pocket that holds a folded photo mat that gives plenty of room for larger photos and also journaling.  It has a smaller pocket that will hold memorabilia, photos or journaling.


I used an edge punch to soften the edges on the both photo mats.  I was out of my comfort zone doing the album cover.  I do not use flowers very often on my projects but needed something to give  dimension on the cover.  It turned out okay.  Enjoy!
