Mini Album - Valentine

Hi Friends & welcome here again!

Made a mini album (8.5 x 5.5 inches) using lots n lots of pattern paper which I have been hoarding for long! Used coordinating papers from different stacks & brands. Maintained the color theme as pink........perfect for the Valentine season!

The album has lots of place for journaling & pictures.....

 

One of the pages has three toilet paper roll-like pockets made from CS to hold mini tags.......

Sixteen photo mats to hold postcard size pics........

This album also has two accordion fold inserts to accommodate 7 pics each or pen down thoughts/events.......

Tags & inserts........

So thats it.........I loved how this turned out & what about you? Would love to know!

A GIFT BOX

Good Evening & a happy weekend to you all! 

Very pleased to share a upcycled project today, made keeping in mind a few challenges. Take a look at this gorgeous gift box...........

I find myself creating only in monochromes these days (hope I get over it soon!). Any guesses what is recycled here? Well I leave you with the snapshots first & will reveal it only later, am sure you can guess by then. I love stick pins & in this one I have a cute birdie perched atop the pin.

The crochet flower is handmade by my mom, she made many while she was here. 

The sides are chipboard pieces distressed with stormy sky ink & layered with die cuts. Glued  embellished wooden clothes pins on both the sides. This one holds a mini Bo Bunny envelope from the Noteworthy collection. Isn't it perfect to hold a cute little message for the recipient?

Making the closure for this was the toughest part! I think now that it is open you all know what this is!

Yes it was a pringles can, inspired by a pin on pinterest. This is how I went about with the upcycling

A CHRISTMAS TAG

Here is a Christmas tag I made keeping in mind a few challenges. I have done some stamping on the base of this tag & added a few layers. The focal point is the ornament & wreath (made from punched leaves) & how can I miss a Christmas tree................that tiny little brad!

The mdf snow flake is heat embossed in silver embossing powder........

A Star shaped card

Hello friends,
Here's a second post from me today.
Its a star shaped card with a fancy fold but very quick & easy to make. The template for this card is easily available on the internet ( I used this link).

This is how the card opens. I love the shimmering heart border used in the inside & the tiny hearts scattered all over were remains from border....................too cute not to be used!!!!!

The other side of the card - a perfect STAR
