Mother's Day Album

I just got a brand new paper pad from American Crafts and fell in love with the papers inside so I decided to make the sweetest mini chipboard album using those papers and some other small journaling tags to create this baby:

 

 

sweet right?

 

cute tag embellishments through out the album

 

the photo below is my favorite...

 

how sweet is that there tag?

 

I really love the colors - I love that the album is scattered with colors - I like that nothing really matches.

 

bright happy pinks, yellows, blues, gray and some green...happy summery and perfectly represents mommy & me.

 

 

I usually like to list my albums on ebay or etsy and even though Mother's Day is this Sunday it could still work as a birthday gift or belated Mother's day gift.

 

Anyway here is wishing you a beautiful weekend.

Banner Time

Ha ha - do you get the pun...if not try singing it...Banner time (sounds like Hammer Time by M.C. Hammer??) o.k. never mind. anyway, tis the season to start creating some lovely banners for well, Mother's Day and Memorial Day, 4th of July and hey maybe even for Dad's day...but first I want to start with MOM - because she is the most important in the world, right? {wink wink}

 

I bought some small chipboard banner shaped triangles awhile back and had covered them with some fun papers also awhile ago and just pulled them out yesterday and just added these fun letters using my new SLICE machine by Making Memories...Will share that new baby later in the week.

 

But here's my finished banner - I'm liking it. Whatch'a think?

 

 

Aren't the colors different and fun.

 

I think its o.k. to use patterned paper as long as you use solid colored letters to offset the background colors.

 

See how pretty they look up close!
