Christmas Mini Album -part Deux

I completed another Christmas Mini... this one I am going to use for my mom for Christmas.. I am going to fill it with pictures from Christmas pasts for her.. I think it will be a nice memento.

I made photo mats and tags for most of the pages so I had plenty of space for pictures and journaling.

Hope you like it and you can see the full size pictures here

New Vintagey cart for my desk

Hey everyone! I spent the morning today at an auction with my hubby. I spied this cute little cart soon after we arrived to check out what they were going to be selling.

I told myself that I would have it! But I wouldn't go over 5 dollars for it (I'm so cheap...well I like to say thrifty!) I had a bunch of glass ware in it and I was really hoping there wasn't anything to valuable because I really wanted that shelf.

Guess what! I got it! for 5 bucks too!!

I brought it home and placed it on my desk and promptly started filling that baby up! Here she is in all her new found glory!!

My Completed Christmas Mini

Hey Guys!

I thought I would have had this mini completed yesterday but no such luck! My body decided that it desired sleep more then my mind desired working on it!

So.. lets get right to it. I will have a video up on you tube later today with this mini as well! Please check out my channel -- JulieWalters74

Ok, so you have seen the first two pages (the cover and the back of the front cover so we will start with the next pages and go on till the back cover.

 I am thinking about listing this on my etsy, but I haven't decided yet fully! It is pretty thick, I would estimate about 5" or a bit more. I can get enough of this baroque die. I am so glad I purchased it. It was definitely worth the money!
Have a great day and look for the video on you tube in an hour or so!!

A sneak Peak at a new mini!

Hey Guys... just thought I would update with a sneak peak at a new mini that I am making! I hope to have it finished by tomorrow morning! I will do a video for  my youtube channel and some more pictures as well!

I love the paper that I am using for this mini. It is produce by K and Company and is designed by Brenda Walton. Unfortunately there isn't a name on the outside cover. But it is her Christmas paper and I believe is from this year.

My first picture here will be the front cover:

The flowers on the cover are dissassembled and then reassembled silk flowers from Hobby Lobby. I dabbed gold pearl on top of them with a paint brush.

The entire from is glimmered so that it is super sparkly! ( I know it is hard to tell in the photo!) The outer edges of the album have been distressed in Vintage Photo.

And because I am feeling especially good today here a pic of the inside front cover:

I love the flower on this page... the dark teal blue flower was die cut out of burlap. I wish you could see this in person because it is super shiny. I used the glitter mod podge on this to make it stiff enough to cut out with my cuttlebug and then I dipped it into my homemade teal glimmer. It is amazingly sparkly! I added one of the silk flowers to the top of it with a sweet little pearl in the middle.

I have 2 more of the pages completed and I hope to finish at least one more tonight and the rest of them tomorrow. I hope to be able to get the video done as well!

Have a great evening!

Hope you get to create something tonight!

Been Busy listing items on Etsy

Hi Everyone!

I spent a good portion of the day yesterday getting some items ready to list on my etsy store!

FANCIFUL FLORALS

I hope that you guys can take a few moments and check out the items that I have in my store. I did put all of my fall and Thanksgiving items onsale for 20% off. The price that is listed now reflects the percentage off!

All of my flowers and tags are made using quality materials and I do take a lot of pride in my work. Everything is packaged nicely and securely for shipping and I think my prices are fair!

Here are a few pictures of the things I listed this morning!

Thanks everyone and I hope to be listing some more items this week!!

Peaceful Saturday

Hubby is at work, Haley just got up and is eating some lunch and I am in my studio thinking of all the ways I need to get busy with some crafting!

This past week I have gotten quite a few things done... I made a mini Album for my Secret Santa Victim over at Your Paper Pantry. I Cleaned up and moved around my desk areas so that I could craft at the desk with my computer as well as my other one. I finished my tags for the ink it stamp it swap and I made some more flowers. OOOH and best of all... I bought a Martha Stewart Score Board, which I plan to put to use this afternoon after I get some cleaning done!

So, want to see some pictures of the finished mini Album? I thought you might! So here are a few from the album!

I think it turned out pretty good and I really hope that my SSV likes it! I know I say this all the time, but if you haven't been to Your Paper Pantry then you are really missing out on a great experience! Wonderful ladies there and the swapping is the best ever! You should really try it out! Really!

Really, Really!
