Mini Album featuring Graphic 45's Rare Oddities!

Hello friends and happy Sunday! Hope you are enjoying your weekend. ♥

Today I want to share a mini album I created to archive our family photos for this Fall/Halloween. This special album features 6x6 interactive pages with tons of pockets and room for photos and journaling.

I used Graphic 45's Rare Oddities paper collection. This collection was so fun to work with -- I love the color palette and the "ghostly" yet gorgeous imagery!

I also created a video below to walk you step-by-step through the album for an up close peek at the interactive pages. First, let me share some photos with you. ♥

Here is the video to show you this album up close:

Be sure to stop by the Graphic 45 BLOG where my album is featured today, along with a gorgeous album created by my Graphic 45 DT teamie, Robin.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and happy crafting!

Inspiration Wednesday - Flags or Banners!

Hello my friends! Hope you are all having a wonderful week. ♥

I'm here today to share my Inspiration Wednesday project for La La Land Crafts.

This week's theme is:

Flags or Banners

I created this "blue" card featuring some of the awesome dies from the La La Land Crafts shop. I love the new Scroll Bracket die. It's so versatile and when lined up perfectly on a card, it gives you an illusion of a full background stencil!

Here's a peek at the new Scroll Bracket die:

Lalaland Crafts New Release Showcase August 2015

Hello friends! This week Lalaland Crafts is celebrating the August release with some amazing new stamp images and dies! I created 2 sample cards featuring some of the new dies from the release. But first, here is a peek at all the wonderful NEW products available now on the Lalaland Crafts shop:

My first card sample features the new Baby Rattle die, Scroll Corner die, Baby Clothesline Banner die and Koi Circle die.

I created a "shaker" out of the rattle die... so fun!

I used a monochromatic palette with a "pop" of pink... I like the way it came out! ♥

My next sample is a Japanese themed card, featuring these new dies: 

Lanterns die (Set of 2), Lanterns Banner die and Lattice Bracket die

I created a window using the Stitched Ribbon die set and vellum. You can see faint images of the lanterns inside the window...

The August release products are available now on the Lalaland Crafts shop HERE.

Be sure to visit the Lalaland Crafts blog this week as the design team shares projects featuring the new products. We hope to inspire you! ♥
