Authentique Flip Album

Just a reminder that I'm teaching this gorgeous Flip Album at Paper Niche this Saturday.  Class is from 10-3. We'll be playing with lots of yummy Martha Stewart punches, doing some stamping and playing with chipboard. Come join us!

Caught On Camera!

Couldn't wait to share the latest album with you.  This one is so versatile! It'll work as a gift for Father's Day, Mother's Day, New Parents, or as a great family album to document your kid's lives.

This Gatefold Album uses BoBunny's Mamarazzi paper line.

I used lots of camera icons and related ephemera to carry the theme through the pages.

Lots of pockets and tags for more photos or for your journaling.

A fold-out tucked in the last page of the album holds five more full sized photos.

Chipboard pages that will hold up to lots of page-turning.

Lots and lots of places for photos and journaling.

Had fun creating it too!

Beach Time!

Been working on albums in the studio lately, exploring binding techniques and playing with envelopes.  Here's one that's perfect for the summer. Look for a full description on my ETSY site. Enjoy!

April Paper Niche Class

Here it is, the reveal for the April class I'll be teaching at Paper Niche.  Class is scheduled for Saturday April 27 starting at 10 am. You can sign up for it on-line at the Paper Niche site.

We'll be creating a Flip Album that looks great from the front AND the back!

This should be a fun class and I haven't done acrylic in a long, long time.

 Love the colors; the papers are from Authentique's Renew Collection. 

We'll be  playing with some Martha Stewart punches and doing lots of stamping. I think I see a Mother's Day gift in the making!

Happy News

Well, the cold front finally arrived and with it some sunny weather. Time to finish the photos of the latest production round of the Photo Frames.   I think I’m ready for graduation. Only time will tell.

Going to my Nephew’s wedding this evening.  Congratulations Tim and Sarah. A lifetime of happy memories starts today. 

New Banners

I’ve been in the studio creating again, this time trying to get ahead of the curve that high school and college graduation causes.  To that end, I started with some banners and then moved on to photo frames.

The banners are for sale at the ETSY Shop now, the photo frames will appear as soon as it quits raining in South Florida so I can take pictures!  Stay tuned…….

March Paper Niche Workshop

As soon as I saw Prima's Romance Novel line of paper I knew I'd use it for "something". That "something" turned into the workshops I'll be doing at Paper Niche in March.

 Lately. I've been doing album covers with sticky-back canvas and I knew I wanted to explore this binding technique in the workshop.  I also wanted to bring back the envelope base as I've had lots of requests to teach it. The great thing about the base is that you can use just about any size envelope to create an album.  That's what I like to teach, techniques that you can adapt and make your own.

This is a unique workshop.  It's spread over two Saturdays and you have the option of purchasing and attending one or both of the days.  Purchase the first workshop and you receive all the material you need to create the album including all the embellishments.  In the first workshop we'll create the cover using chipboard, sticky back canvas and tissue paper. We’ll also create the binding for the envelopes and assemble the album.

Purchase both workshops and join me on the second Saturday to create the embellishments and photo mats and decorate the interior of the album.
