December Daily

I made this DD for a challenge, usually I give my projects away but I'm so happy with the way it turned out I'm going to keep it. The feet are from Spare Parts, ribbon and snowflake charm out of my stash.

Paper collection is DCVW Brenda Walton Evergreen Specialty Pad, embellishments and ribbon from

my stash and Spellbinder and Tim Holtz die cuts are also used on several tags.

I used shipping tags covered with patterned paper and each back has been covered with kraft paper. Backs are stamped with a small journaling spot and a pocket for pictures or jouranling.

Graphic 45 A Place in Time Calendar Easel Album

This album is made using a Graphic 45 Kraftboard Easel Album and A Place in Time paper Collection. I used both the 12 x 12 and 8 x 8 paper pads.

Just a tip if you plan on making one using this easel album check the fit on the pages before starting. My chipboard pages were not large enough so each page had to be trimmed to fit.

Just My Style

This card was inspired by one I saw on Pinterest. I used DCWV immortal love collection for the background along with black/white cardstock. Edges are distressed using a Zutter Distress-It-All-Tool.

The doily die & corners are from Cherry Lynn, flourish, flowers & label from Spellbinders. The lovely black lace is from my friend Terrie. Pearls from my stash.

Made this for a swap....themed "my style". Hope my partner likes it.
