TP Fall mini

Hi Everyone!!! 

Here I have my very first toilet paper roll mini album.  Before I touch on the album I do want to say that working with the TP roll was not my most favorite medium.  I could not get the roll to lay flat and it was too thick for my liking.  I know many of you love the TP roll and that is great, really, it just was not for me.  I did hear after than I can wet the roll a little to flatten it up.  If I ever make another one I'll have to try that.  

The outcome of the mini was just what I wanted.  The paper I used was DCWV Harvest Gathering Stack.  I used seam binding and some sort of fluffy ribbon on the spine.  The leaves I purchased at the Dollar Tree. 

 I hadn’t made a mini in such a long time.  It really was fun making it and getting back into the mini spirit. 

The made the mini for a swap that I participated in over at Scrap Maidens on Facebook.

Lavender, Peach & Mint Envelope Mini Album

My latest project....a mini album for a soon to be bride.

Her wedding colors are Peach, Lavender and Mint.  This was the first time working with these colors and love how the album came out...for the most part.  I seem to have misplaced my mojo, lol.

Anyway, i have a few products from MB's Treasurista and LavishLaces.

 

And with that note...I have neglected my blog for quit some time and hadn't realized this was sitting in my drafts along with a couple others.  So for now, I'll just post and get it over with.  And it now NOT my latest project...

Floating Waterfall Page Tutorial

What up Crafty Peeps!!!

Some time ago I came up with an idea of putting together a waterfall page but without the actual working "pull tab".  What I came up with was the Floating Waterfall Page.  I also wanted to still see the actual background paper. 

Almost all the time we use the prettiest of papers and we cover them up with embellishments and photo mats and all that other yummy goodness.  So, I figured why not work around that so I can still take advantage of the beautiful paper.

Below is the video tutorial on how I made my Floating Waterfall Page.

Enjoy and thanks for watching!

Flower Tutorial using Doilies

This is one of my favorite types of paper flowers...so far...I may discover other favorites soon.

I was playing around with my paper doilies and had seen lots of other tutorials on these but I wasn't getting them right…so, I decided to just wing it and I came up with a super cute..and fluffy paper doily flower.

I played with different sizes and even attempted to make one with the heart doily…that was no bueno.

The doilies that I used are listed on my ETSY shop.  I have different styles of doilies in different sizes as well.

Enjoy and thanks for watching.
