Valentine's Day Mini Book










Ok... I know I'm a few days late on Valentine's day, but I actually made this last week for another challenge at myscraproom.ning.com. Gina hosts a challenge every week that range from making cards and layouts to altering items and a little mixed media! It's a really great way to bring you out of your shell and get you to try new things :)
So the cool thing about this mini book is that it's made out of just one sheet of 12x12 paper. You can find the tutorial for it right here. The tags I used for this projects are free downloadables that you can find here (because who doesn't like cute free tags?). Here's another link to another page full of free printables, they're all just so cute! And of course there's always tons more, but I think that's enough to help you make a cute little project of your own!
Here's just a basic list of the things I used in my project in case you were wondering:
-flowers
-lace
-ribbons
-charms
-baker's twine
-buttons
-chipboard, layered, and die-cut embellishments
-alphas

Tools:
-paper trimmer
-scoring board
-ruler
-scissors
-adhesive
-tab punch
-circle punch

-angle punch (We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper - Angle/Photo)

So there you go! I hope you like it! *sigh* let's see how long I can keep up with regularly posting this time around... Maybe one day I'll get around to making my very first YouTube video lol.

File Folder Project







This is for a challenge hosted by Gina over at myscraproom.ning.com. I had a lot of fun with it! I'm not really sure what I'll ever use this project for, but I love looking at it lol. It also finally gave me a chance to use one of the BG layout kits I bought at Ross last year. I'm not sure why I bought them in the first place (I never make 12x12 layouts, I'm not so fond of large albums). But they were a couple dollars each and I couldn't resist lol.
