Welcome 2012!!

Happy New Year!! Wow the time just flies by. Here is the newest of the altered books. I feel like that's all I do nowadays. For this book I hit the office supply store big time..... I'm only going to share a few of my favorite pages. I'm so over making these kits. I started off with 15 and ended up making 20. There's a total of 24 pages in the book not including the acrylic cover so I'm only going to show my favorite pages..... 

You can see her I added some envelopes and put patterned paper, this is good for stuffing lil goodies. 

Now if you look to the left side of the page I added a fastener. My suggestion to the lovely ladies who took the class, they can make a great waterfall and get more pics on their project.

Well that's all for now. Oh the fab line I used is my new favorite company Simple Stories the line YearOgraphy. Hope you have enjoyed the book!! Have a great day.

Christmas Cards.....

Ok there are still a couple days before Christmas so here are a couple of cards I made for a class I did.

I have been crazy over MFT Stamps lately so that has been my focus on my card classes. For the first card I used dp MME Lost & Found Christmas MFT Dainty Doily oval frame and Inspired by Christmas stamp, and for the second card I used dp by Best Creations and MFT Homespun Birdhouse.
Well that's it for me!! Hope you have a great Christmas and very blessed New Year!! 

Hiss, hiss, booo.....

I have been such a bad blogger. But look at it this way, we have sooo much to catch up on. I would love to post every pic of every page, I think I will just go over my favorites. This kit sold out quick so I am pretty sure that everyone who got one already has pics or has finished their project.
This book I made with black chipboard covers and I created the pockets using 12 x 8.5 in black cardstock.

I should have taken a better pic of the BLING on the cover rings. I used a Maya Road trinket (think that it), I backed it with decortive papers, and added a chain, some jewels and misc bells I found at Michaels.

As you can see above I made each of the pages a pocket for more pics. Cant get enough pics at Christmas time.

 Don't you just love the charms I used in the book. The two above there are stuffed stockings, and a candy cane, and below there are a set of silver bells. AWESOME!!

Well those were just my favorite pages of the entire book. There were 6 pocket pages in the book, plus the cover and the back page. I love when I start creating a book and then you can see it fatten up with all the goodies that are in it. Ok more to come... wait till you see the Year in Review album I did.
If I don't post again for a while Merry Christmas!!

Times & Seasons.....

Yes another altered book, I have been working on cards, just not as much. As you can imagine these books are really time consuming. Not including the days I don't feel like being very creative.
Well this project I am going to show all the pages because I know some you bought I a kit and haven't put it together yet. I used Echo Park Times & Seasons for this. I wanted to make a different style than before, this time I chose a flip/flap book...

Here I made a pocket flap, the die I used here and for the cover are Tim Holtz.

 For the inside of the back cover I had some scraps from a paper that looked like vintage advertising, so I cut some up and mod podged them on.

Coming Soon...

I have been busy making more books. I will have two different ones coming up soon. I have to get going but here is a peek at one of them....

 ...more Pics to come. Have a great day.

Your an Angel...

So today at work it was such a slow day. It's the day before Veterans Day, and we ordered lunch. And my co-worker paid for it, of course I tried to pay, but she's feisty and won't hear of it. So I decided I would make her a card during the downtime. (Okay so I already knew it wouldn't be busy so I took some supplies with me to work)
Here is the card I made for her....

 Stamp: Angel Marci DP: My Minds Eye

Okay I have to keep this short, I have more crafting to do. Bye

Lions, & Tigers & Bears...

Oh my!! Ok I won't break out song, but watch out. Happy Halloween!! I will have to steal a pic from one of my customers they took of me dressed up on Friday night. We had such a great turn out at the store, I wanted to cry. I will post pics later!! For now I am sharing the altered book I made using the Journey to Oz line by Graphic 45. It was so much fun, all the ladies really enjoyed it, and finished it for the most part. Ok let's get started there are lots of little details.

 For the cover, I wanted it to look like the bad witch was looking at Dorothy and Friends through her crystal ball, so I added diamond glaze over the image.

 Here I wanted some pics of the Movie, but I didn't want to lose photo space in the book. 

 So I made it to where they pics flip up and you add two more photos.

 I had sent my friend/employee on a search for a Wizard of Oz book, here I added part of it.

 

 

 Now you see the box above that has Dorothy on it? Below the Magic of Oz?

 This is what it looks like when you unfold that box!!

 Me and my canvas pages, I'm sure my mom hates when I decide to add this to my book because for what ever reason her machine will just decide not to cooperate.

 

 Another fold out for more pics.

Well thank you for checking this out. There are still a few kits left for this book, you call the store and reserve yours.
