🌺 Botanical Beauty 🌺 || Album #1 of the 7-11 Folio Album Series

I am so extremely excited about this book!! It was an idea that kept me up at night and when I finally got to work on it, nothing went as planned!! I had to set it aside and work on something else for a bit but when I started on it again... well... I think its pretty awesome! 😊

I've called it Botanical Beauty because the flowery paper is simply stunning and there are such beautiful flowers in the 2 collections, Vintage Cottage Field and Vintage Garden District. The Simple Stories Vintage line is one of my favorite papers to work with!!

I really don't like to do small projects, the smallest projects I do are my 2 Day Folios which are 6 1/2" x 8 1/2" with at least a 1" spine... this one is basically designed the same way the others are but is 7" x 11" which is how I named the series. I have ideas for a couple more projects for sure but will see how they pan out! This one fought me a little so we will see how fast the other projects come together. That and I have an other Series in the works as well... the Mix & Match Albums are also in the works so I have to get my butt in gear and get working on those! So many projects on the go and so little time to work on them!! So glad I am taking holidays and will be off for 10 glorious fun filled days and can do nothing but try to catch up!

Fancy Fold Card

I'm not sure what to call this card as the one I found wasn't in English! I was surfing on Pinterest one day and found an amazing card!! Of coarse I re-pinned it for later cause I had to give it a try myself. The only problem is, its in another language and the measurements are in cm instead of inches. I really wanted to try the card so I printed out her template and tried to convert cm to inches. I made a card with my dimensions and I am fairly pleased with it. I tried to go fairly simple on the front as the inside is a little bulky. I used a Mojo Monday sketch for the inspiration on for front of the card. Sketch 319 For the inside I pretty much used her layout but just used different paper. I am in the Holiday spirit so really wanted it to be a Christmas card. I haven't used the specialty paper in the Winter Frost Specialty DSP yet so thought it would work perfectly. She had a template designed, but of coa...

Christmas (Domino) Ornaments

Decorate with these simple Domino Ornaments! They are very easy! All you need is a set of dominos, Jet Black Stazon Ink (#101406), Sharpie markers, some Crystal Effects (#101055) & stamps that will fit on the domino! Some of the images are not Stampin' Up! but most of them are. The sets from Stampin' Up! are Best of Snow & Polar Party so far. I also used some Stickles for the snow and glitter on some images.

Christmas Cheer Gift Card Holder

Last year I carried on my Mom's tradition of doing the 12 days of Christmas with my daughter. She had done it every year buy one since my daughter was about 2, I can't remember exactly when she started it... but I can't remember yesterday so... 😂 I decided instead of giving my 16 year old a bunch of stupid things she would likely never use and I would likely toss in the garbage before long, I would give her gift cards instead. It was a great idea, it was a hit! Her birthday is Boxing Day so we usually go shopping in the city seeing as it's still a pretty busy day for most families. She was able to spend around $200-$250 in gift card money so it was all good! I think doing it that way is a much better way of doing it, what do you think? I thought I would get a head start on Gift Cards for this year as it is a great way to give a gift and still have the recipient have a choice in what to buy. I have a fe...
