Holiday Baskets

I love how this tuned out: Red with white faux stitching using a white gel pen. There are 4 white die cut snowflakes around the basket. The white shreds are made by cutting thin scraps of white paper and crumpling them.

The white basket has red faux stitching around the top along with 4 red die cut snowflakes. The shreds are hand made using the same paper from the snowflakes (that's why they match perfectly!)

• Accys: 5/8" Striped Riding Hood Red Ribbon, 1/2" Striped Real Red Grosgrain Ribbon, White Gel Pen, Stampin Write Real Red Pen, Sticky Tape, Big Shot Basket & Blooms Bigz Die, Big Shot Snowflake #2 Die, Glue Dots.

Holiday Collection Stampin' Kit

Look what I got!!!! Love, Love, triple love it. The Holiday Collection kit was quite a surprise. It comes in it's own reusable craft keeper and plastic container for all the supplies. All the items are from the catalog except for the chipboard and designer paper. The stamp set is great and is only available in this kit! There are instructions on how to make the best use of the contents. This kit is a BARGAIN. If each item was bought individually, the cost for this kit would be so much higher! I can't wait to see the 21 page advertisement in the Country Living November magazine. If you subscribe to the magazine, they will send a free stamp and ink spot as a GWP (gift with purchase). Stay tuned for projects made from this kit. Contact me if you are interested in this Holiday kit! ($49.95)

Baby Boy Album

Look at this great Baby Boy album. It's all BOY! Oh Boy! The Baby Bottle shaped lettering is computer printed using fonts from D.J. Inker. Isn't it cute? The On Board Bitty Book was transformed into this cute Baby gift. Yes, I used White latex interior house paint for the exposed edges of the chip board album outside and inside. I've done this before on other Bitty Book albums. It would have been a challenge to match the light blue so contrast white color worked out much better.

This close-up front of the album case with spinning effect on the "welcome little one". The small onesie also has pieced designer paper to match the top note.

This is the side view of the album (album is in the case). The ends of the 1/4" satin ribbon are baseball, football, soccer, and basketball beads. Like it?

This onesie is on the outside of the album. This personalized "P" is cut and pieced onto the stamped designer paper.

This is the inside front album.

This is the album inside back cover.

I will be making 3 of these for 3 separate baby boys! They will obviously have different names. Darn - I don't have to make any little girl albums.
