Blooming Magnolia Gift Envelope

As some of you may be aware, one of my favorite Scrapbook paper companies, Heartfelt Creations, will soon be closing its doors. While I am sad about this, I am also a little bit relieved! because now I can feel less guilty for branching out to my NEW favorite companies, all of which seem to be based in Poland! (Odd, I know – and I don’t think I have a drop of Polish blood in me!!)

This lovely paper is from Scrapandme’s Blooming Magnolia. I have used a HFC die or two, for the lacy bits, and the Magnolias. This came together super easy with a 6 x 12 base, folded then Col erred with the decorative paper.

A bit of fussy cutting on the very back, to include more lovely flowers.

Thanks for looking!!

Bright and Soft Mini-Album

I was on a roll with Mini-Albums, so decided to copy my format with Scrapandme’s beautiful “Bright and Soft” papers. These have become my favorite papers, but they are difficult to obtain here in America. I got lucky on Etsy, and found some from someone in England & ordered two packs of four or five different collections, so I’ve got things to play with for a few weeks! (Actually, who are we kidding here? When I die, there will still be scrapbook paper in my crafty space!!)

This is the first collection that I dove in to! So beautiful! I will share some still pictures, but here is a little video!

Thanks for looking!

Tender Moments Baby Album

A friend of mine from the pool was delighted to welcome her very first grandbaby on July 2, apparently they had thought this was never to be, so an especially welcome surprise for the entire family!

I copied the idea for this sweet album from Nikki Craft, and of course modified it as I went along. This uses the Heartfelt Creations Tender Moments collection – the baby animals are so darn cute!! I have page by page the entire album, but if you’re in a hurry, skip to the bottom for a little video walk through.
