Accessorize!

Design team sister Sandy from My Sheri Crafts challenges us to accessorize our crafts! I made an endless flip book using Paper Sweetpea's You Tube tutorial. I used paper from Graphic 45 and accessorized the flip book with embellishments from K and Co, Prima, Gold Sequins from CTMH, Melissa Frances blue crepe paper ruffles and washi tape from Recollections. This was a lot of fun to make and I had to restrain myself from making a whole bunch of them. lol!

Splish Splash!

Summer is slowly making its way towards us and Sheri, our fearless leader, challenged us to make a project featuring a beach, water, or swimming. I made a pocket mini album for my Picture My Life Seaside 4"x6" cards. I just eyeballed the dimensions to make pockets big enough to hold the cards, and I added a 1/4" allowance along the edge for binding. I used a Bind-It-All punch to punch the holes, and I wove some jute twine to close the book off. I added some Gold Polka Dot Washi Tape to seal the edges of the pockets. I embossed the pockets to add texture. The embellies are stickers from my stash, images from the Picture My Life Cards that I had fussy cut, and some Sequins Gold Assortment.

We'd love to invite you to make a splash at My Sheri Crafts with your aquatic summer projects!

Bird Shape Album

Cardinals are the official bird of Christmas, but I also wanted to make a mini album that can be used on a daily basis. I got the bird album from the dollar bin at Michael's (yes, I do dive in them...lol!), and covered it with paper from K&Co's Blossomwood paper pack. I used copyright-free clipart for the cardinal images in the album. The lollipop flower on the front cover is from K&Co. The rest of the flowers are from Prima.
