Envelope Mini Album

So I started seeing these mini albums and I had to try one. They are made using envelopes and cards. I will soon post a tut on how to make them. They are so much fun and you can really do anything you want with the design! I had a lot of fun making it! Here are the pictures of my first one.

This is the font cover embellished with some flowers I made from paper :) (I will also show my technique making these)

This is the first page you see, the left has a pocket for tags for journaling And the right is a photo mat.

Sorry this is sideways, These are both pages with tags for journaling. There is also room for photos. 

This is a journaling page and a photo page also room for and ticket stubs and what nots. 

Here is the last page it has room for pictures and journaling. 

(I did not show the cards that insert into the book because they just have pattern paper photo mats. but there is more room for photos than you see) 

I hope you enjoyed seeing my first mini album! I will be back soon to show you how to make one of these!

Thank you for reading! 

Thank You Cards

My mother in law ordered some thank you cards. I have been playing around with different techniques here they are. I got some distress inks for Christmas I love them! They have made these cards so much fun!

Birthday Boy Party Invitations!

So today I thought I would show you the invitations I made for my sons Birthday party. They turned out pretty good. I know nothing too exciting but thought it might give a little inspiration. :) 

(Sorry about the ugly nails)

And a few more I made this week..

Finished Advent Calendar! YAY!!

So today I finally finished and hung the advent calendar. My son had a blast helping me find the right 

numbers! Was a blast! 

Here is the first ones! Notice lol I cut the sled a little too big so made sure it was number one. 

Here it is hung, very off center but looks good enough :) 

More Christmas Advent Calendar!

So I thought I would post the rest of my advent pictures for my calender. And again promising more photos when it is hung up. Here are the pics. If anyone interested in anyone of the techniques let me know! Here they are! 

So there they are! May have a few more to whip up but will post pics when it is hung up! 

Kids Match Game

I dont use my Cricut very often but as I previously mentioned I have found some gerat cartridges. They inspired me to make a match game for my kids! So much fun! A great way to play around with it! I also discovered the cricut craft room! I must say I am almost addicted to it as well now. Here are some pics of the few cards I have so far.

For the foundation I used the chore chart cartridge and one of the squares at 3.5in.

For the pics I used the B is for Boy cartridge at 2.75

A few more sets and I think it will keep my son busy for a while :) 

Christmas Advent Calendar

So for the insides of the envelopes I had to make lots of cute things to pull out and hang over the numbers here is some of what I have made. 

I have a few more to finish then will share those pics as well.
