About Me

Paonia, CO, United States
I have discovered that life is a roller coaster and I'm learning to enjoy the ride! I am a married mom of 4. I work part-time outside of the home and, of course, more that full time as a wife and mother! I do classes from my craft room in the basement...which is why we call it the "Craft Cave."

Blog Candy mini book


Here is a photo of the mini book I sent to Cheryl for leaving a comment on my blog!

The embossed paper I got from our local scrap store, A Scrapbooker's Dream in Delta, CO. The stickers I think are K&Company or BoBunny...sorry, I don't remember anymore!! I did use some stamps from TAC, you can see the LOVE from the heartitude set on the front cover and for the heart in the bottom photo. The other stamps came from a limited edition set.

This mini book is made from coin envelopes. I love these little guys! Each envelope has a journaling page tucked inside, you can see these on the first photo at the top.

I submitted a similar book for the Mini book contest this past weekend. I'll post that one later too.

Happy Valentine's Day


Well, I had to slip in one more Valentine card, of course. Afterall, today is the day! Here is a card I actually copied from a card in the Current catalog. (One would wonder why I even receive those. I've never ordered anything!!) Anyway, theirs had only one envelope (or picture of an envelope, can't remember right now) but I like the this better. I love these little stamps in the Forever set! They really go together quite nicely. Who wouldn't want to hear, "Be mine forever love" on Happy Heart Day. The envelopes were created from pink vellum with an envelope punch I own.
The cardbase is white textured cardstock from the Neutrals cardstack and the words are stamped on a scrap of Glossy White with Claret ink. My DD Rebecca says it needs something else, like a ribbon under the envelopes or across the bottom, and maybe it does. I kind of like the simplicity and the words stand out much better this way. What do you think? The first person to leave a comment on this post will get a special Love minibook just ready for photos!! How's that for a tempting offer?? My first "Blog Candy!"
