ENVELOPE FOLD CARD




I created this Envelope Card with a sheet from Graphic 45's 'Portrait of a Lady Collection'.  I cut the paper to 11" x 11" and followed the tutorial by Dsscrape on this WEBSITE.  This card measures 5 1/2 " x  5 1/2".


For the 4" square card inside I used square Framelits dies from Sizzix.  The sentiment card I created using an old image saved in my 'digital stash'.  Designer unknown.


The card just slides in the top of envelope.  Sentiment reads:  Happiness held is the seed, Happiness shared is the flower.


Close up of the background of beads I used to fill in around the flowers.

ACCORDIAN ZIG ZAG MINI ALBUM


I created my Zig Zag Album using Carta Bella's Christmas designer papers.  It measures about 3" x  6".  I've had the poinsettia dies for a long while and don't know the designer.
I followed the tutorial by Kay at Embrace Serendipity.  You can find that HERE


This is the inside front cover.  I used Heartstrings Alpha by Lorie at Scrapbook Graphic's to design the sentiment.


This is the whole album opened up.

MINI HALLOWEEN ALBUM



        I created this album for a friend just in time for Halloween.  This is such a fun album to make.  I love how the pages are put together.  While my album measures 3" x  4", I followed the directions from a tutorial by Frank Garcia that is much larger.  You can find that HERE.



Here is the spine.  It measures 1 3/4" wide.  I mounted the hardware pieces using E6000 glue.  After they were dry I put glue all around the area and pressed into it little crystal beads and melted pony beads.


A picture of a ceramic cat on the inside cover is special to my friend.   The rest of the book is full of pictures of the 'French' cats collection.


                I distressed all the photos edges and mounted them on Autumn colored papers.
