A mini with Punky Sprouts and My Little Shoebox

As a continuation from yesterday's post, I have more to share using My Little Shoebox's Oh, Deer collection.
The My Little Shoebox DT and I were fortunate enough to receive mini albums from Punky Sprouts. Oh, what joy that was!!

Like yesterday's post, this album also includes pictures of my family during our mini photo shoot in the fall. Virginia in the fall is AMAZING!

I gotta' say...my kids are so cute!! I love them to pieces!

Thanks for checking things out today :)

Oh, Deer!

Hello! Today I'd like to share with you a few layouts and a mini album using My Little Shoebox's  Oh, Deer! collection.

This collection works great with all of our fall family pictures.

It seems like there always has to be one kid in my family who does not cooperate during family pictures. This time it was my youngest son who did not want to take pictures and he wouldn't smile! I finally got a picture of his forced smile. LOL!

Products Used:
My Little Shoebox's Oh, Deer! collection; Creekside Trail, A Walk in The Woods, Knock on Wood, Happy Campers, Cardstock Stickers, Woodgrain Muse Alphabet Stickers, Firecracker Muse Alphabet Stickers, Chocolate Cake Mini Alphabet Stickers, 3D Roll-Up Flower and Accent sheet.

Thanks for stopping by today!

A Mini Mini Tutorial with My Little Shoebox

Hello! Today I want to share with you how to make a mini mini album using just one sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 paper. I used the words "mini mini" because these are only 4 x 2 3/4 inches big. They are super easy to make and very cute.

Ringing in the New Year!

Ready to ring in the new year?
Today I have a few New Years Eve rink-e-dinks to share with you using My Little Shoebox's Keepsake collection. I chose this collection because of its great colors and prints.

This hanging decoration is made to look like a clock. I used Keepsake's round die cut sheets (3 of them), folded them accordion style and put them all together. It's a large decoration, about 12 inches round and its going to look great hanging from the ceiling.

We have a tradition in my house that at midnight we let our children make as much noise as possible either with their voices or noise makers (which are often the same thing;)). I bought a package of party horns and altered them by covering them with My Little Shoebox paper and stickers.

And finally, a simple card to wish you all a Happy New Year. May 2013 be the best ever!

Notebook Card Inspiration

Hey there!
I have been waiting to use the Notebook collection from My Little Shoebox since it was released for summer CHA.
I finally got the chance with my assignments this month and it did not disappoint.

I made a unique background by layering it with a die cut which I cut from grey paper.

Products used: Notebook Truly Yours, Cardstock Stickers, Fog.

For this card I rolled several of the 3D Roll Up flowers and cut my card into a tag shape.

Products used: Notebook Always and Forever, Truly Yours, 3D Roll Up Flower and Accents, Morning Mist Trim.

                                       
When using a plain color on cards, its always a good idea to emboss the paper for added texture and interest.
Products used: Notebook Truly Yours, Cardstock Stickers, 3D Roll Up Flowers and Accents, Keepsake's Razzleberry.

Products Used: Notebook Truly Yours, Bits and Pieces, Cardstock Stickers, 3D Roll Up Flower and Accents.

I cut the large flower and vine from my die cut machine added a little bling.

Products used: Notebook Always and Forever, Truly Yours, Keepsake's Cherry.

Thanks for stopping by today and have a wonderful day!
