Crate Paper Mini Album Card

Happy Tuesday! I love flowers and so I really enjoyed making this mini album card for my sweet mother-in-law's birthday. I have made so much with the Pretty Party Crate Paper Collection. Here is the link to their whole collection. Crate Paper So with some of my leftovers I created this lovely mini.

My inspiration for all my creations using Crate Paper came from this  Two Peas Member . The colors and flowers just feel like a vintage, lazy Summer.
Here are some pictures of this card.  I can't wait for my mother-in-law to receive this card and beam with joy as she looks through it.


Loved cutting out more of these flowers and adding them to the yellow lace paper. Also, I cut out the yellow edge and inked it with brown ink for a vintage look.

Here is a closer look!

Loved making these pockets throughout the album card. This one is a "Happy Birthday" tag. I added the rose to the top of the tag.


Here is another pocket on the left with two tags. I will journal my thoughts on these tags.

Journal tags are a great way to express your feelings about the person or picture.

Here are the last pages. This pocket on the right has the last tag. Loved adding all these flowers and pearls.


Thanks for taking a look at my/our gift for my mother-in-law.  Have a great day all!

My Birthday Blog Party

Welcome to my Birthday Blog Party! I am starting my celebration early to fully enjoy my day. My actual birthday is May 29th but why not start early right? :) When I think of birthdays past, they were always such exciting times for me. Many of my birthdays were celebrated with fun parties from my childhood to my young adult years. I loved all of those special parties and to this day, I still love it. Maybe this is where my love for event planning all started. At my 3rd birthday, my parents gave me a big one. I don't really remember but the pictures are so cool. I had lots of kids there, a clown, a little merry-go-round ride and lots of games. I had a white little outfit on and was looking so cute for a Spring party. Boy, I looked so happy! Also, I was brave not to be afraid of the clown, too. My mom was holding me as I blew the candles out. Another year, I had my first slumber party. That was so fun! I invited several friends and ...

Vintage Layout

I wanted to share this layout with you all. I recently submitted a design team application and I had to make a layout. I haven't made a layout in years so it was a nice challenge. I enjoyed making the first one so much I wanted to try another one. This one is dedicated to my sweet grandmother, Thelma Cobbs. This was her college picture back in the 1930's. I just love this picture of her, the sepia tone color and the style is so classic.  Her style has influenced my artistic approach.  I loved all her lace handkerchiefs, hats, gloves, purses and jewel. So I have taken a lot of her traditional, glamours style and use it on my cards and now layouts.  I know she would be so proud to see her fashion sense in my work. Maybe it is my way of keeping her alive and close to me.  Love and miss you Nana! Supplies used are: Webster's Pages patterned paper, Scenic Route rub-on words, Prima flowers, leaves from Michael's, form adhesive on the lady images, cream ribbon and white...
