An Accordion Scrap Book

Good Morning! I worked on another simple scrap book and got it finished. This one uses legal envelopes to hold the pictures. I found a great tutorial on how to make this scrap book at Inking Addict Designs. Paula does a great job with her directions and the pictures make it clear what you need to do. I did modify my belly band. I used stick on velcro dots to hold mine closed. I didn’t…

Playing with some challenges

I hope everyone is having a great evening. I spent some time in my craft room playing with some challenges today. I was able to combine 4 (yes I said 4) challenges on this card. I think it is so cute. The first challenge I used as the color challenge from the Color Dare blog. You had to use Always Artichoke, Creamy Caramel, Elegant Eggplant, and Pumpkin Pie.

I do not have any current…

The Problem Card That Just Wouldn’t Quit

Well I finally got my problems figured out. I wanted to use my new Perfect Details Texturz Plate from Stampin’ Up. The problem was I have a Cuttlebug not a Big Shot. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out the sandwich for the plate so I could get a good crisp emboss. I finally figured it out and was able to get a good imprint. I had started out with the idea…
