Wordbooks

This was my first attempt at making a wordbook. I've been wanting to make one for a while now and I figured with my brother getting married this summer. That this would make a nice gift. I didn't like the spacing of the letters on this one, so I decorated it for myself and made them a new one.

Here's the book I made for my brother, their wedding colors are black and pink. I re-spaced the letters and added the heart so I had another page to play with.

Two tag holders to add pictures, made with Tags, Bags and More cartridge.

The left heart was cut with the Storybook cartridge, it flips down to reveal a place to put a picture or journal. The right page was also cut with Storybook and it opens up for another spot to add pictures or journal.

My brother is a Firefighter, so I cut these out with the Paperdoll cartridges.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look at my wordbooks!

ScrapFIT Workout #17

ScrapFIT has their new workout posted and it's a good one!!! You have to make an altered egg using any Jillibean Soup products. I had the hardest time finding Jillibean Soup, none of the LSS carry it:( Finally I was able to find it at an Archiver's about 40miles from here. They only had a few sheets from the Talk Soup Collection, so I scooped them all up and made this.....

The little owls on this collection are too cute.

Now I have an Easter card to send out for next year;) Thanks for taking the time to stop by!!
Have a wonderful weekend!!

A Wreath Make-Over

This is a picture of my "spring wreath" not very pretty, right!!! So I decided to give it a make-over.

Lucky for me the sun took a toll on the glue too because the sprigs came right out!

I re-painted the sprigs and added some stickles for bling!

And I made a bunch of handmade flowers then hot glued it all together.

Taaaa Daaaa!!! Here's my new spring wreath!!

What do you think???

I also entered it into a couple of challenges...

Happy Hump Day!

Today I'd like to share a card I made for my SIL, she was just diagnosed with breast cancer and will be starting chemo next week. And since we don't live nearby were sending along a couple of gift cards to help the family out during this rough time. The inside says, "Thinking of your during this difficult time" I didn't want to show the inside because I already wrote her a note.

I used the sketch from Unscripted Sketches. I also entered it into Little Red Wagon challenge which is to use {{ribbon}}.
