October Afternoon | Christmas Mini Album

Happy Friday everyone! My last project as a designer of the month for October Afternoon is up on their blog today. It has been such an honor designing for October Afternoon. 

I have definitely saved the best project for last! It is going to be this cute Christmas mini album (measured 5” x 7.5”), using products from the Under the Tree collection.  


The inspiration for this mini album came from my first week’s project, which was the Christmas shaker card project


Please hop over to the October Afternoon blog to see more pictures of my mini album. I hope you will enjoy looking through the pictures.

Happy Creating!

Treasure Thursday

Happy Thursday everyone! Between designing for my classes and October Afternoon, I have not had an opportunity to go treasure hunting in over three weeks. After waking up on Sunday morning, I had an urge to go treasure hunting. I decided to go to the Airport Farmers and Flea Market in Brooksville since it was only half an hour away from my house. 

If you have been following me on Instagram and Facebook, I had posted a picture of this booth. The owner's name is Mr. Kimball (that's actually his first name), who definitely has an eye for treasures!

Trick or Treat Mini Book Class | Whim So Doodle

Hi there! My first class at Whim So Doodle was a success! We had so much fun putting "Our Happy Life" mini book together. Thank you everyone for attending and purchasing my class kits. It was one of the best classes I have ever taught.  

For those of you who love Halloween, you are going to love my next project, which I will be teaching at Whim So Doodle on October 17th, 2015. It is going to be this cute Trick or Treat mini book. We will be using products from Carta Bella (Trick or Treat collection)and Tim Holtz. In addition, you will receive a couple pieces of vintage treasures, which I have acquired over time.

October Afternoon | Christmas Banner

Happy Friday everyone! My second project as a designer of the month for October Afternoon is up on their blog today. I have designed a cute Christmas banner for this week. 

In addition to making cards and mini books, I also love making banners. Christmas decorating would not be complete without a cute banner hanging somewhere in my house. It just makes me happy every time I look at it.

Happy Creating,

My Favorite Scrapbook Collection

What is your favorite scrapbook collection of all time? Mine is the Maggie Holmes, Open Book collection. I love the colors, the icons, the flowers...I love everything about this collection.

I had an opportunity to design a clipboard mini book for Whim So Doodle using this collection. I was so happy when I finally spread the entire collection out on my craft table. I hope you will enjoy looking at the pictures of my clipboard mini book. Grab some snacks and a drink because it is going to be a long post!

Hello there! I hope you are having a wonderful Friday. I have some good news to share with you today. I was chosen to be a guest designer for the month of September over at October Afternoon blog! I am so honored and excited to have this opportunity. I will be posting different projects every Friday for the entire month of September.
