File Folder Album

Isn't this just the cutest! I made this album from a file folder, just like the ones we all use to keep our tax returns in! Isn't this a better use for that folder? The inside view has pockets so you can insert pictures, ticket stubs, journaling cards or whatever you wish. I still have to place the "subject matter" on the tab yet. I am just trying to decide what I want to use the album for... Only 1 Stampin Up stamp was used , lots of cardstock, ribbon, stickers and different embellishments.
I hope you like it! You may see it at your home soon!

Greenville, South Carolina Trip

Family pictures from our fun day! Aren't August
and Isabella getting so grown up looking?












These pictures don't even begin to capture how beautiful this spot
was... The sun was shining, it was a warm October day with lots of beautiful greenery(something we've been lacking in Charlotte lately with the drought), flowers and happy smiling families!
Thanks for sharing our day with us! I promise to put more of my cards, etc. on next!

Greenville, South Carolina

We took a day trip to check out Greenville, SC. There is a beautiful park right downtown on the Reedy river! It was wonderful and we did some exploring! Lots of paths and green spaces, lots of nooks and crannies for the kids to find! We really liked Greenville!

For The Birds...

I made this card to send to my sister who lives in Las Vegas (lucky her!). But maybe not so lucky... She fell and broke her femur and now has to be in a wheelchair for at least eight weeks! The inside of card says, "Thinking of you". I used the faux postage technique on this card. The background designer paper is from Paper Pizazz . I did 3 layers of solid cardstock (SU of course!) and I used the tab punch for the tab on top of the card. Stampin' Up stamp from the "Just Puny" set. SU inks were used to stamp and dab on around the yellow layer for added depth.

I am mailing it tomorrow. I hope she likes it...

Happy Halloween!

Birthday Dreams

I just love the blues and greens together...they make me feel so soothed... I used my scalloped punch and a nice colored jewel to finish off the punched out "enjoy your day". All stamps from Stampin Up.

You've Gotta Have Friends...

I made this card with just the right friend in mind... I hope she likes it!
French Script stamp and blossoms from SU. Wonderful friend from Mike's and the glittery "F" from the dollar spot at Target.

I'm On A Roll!

This was one of my first Autumn cards. I bought the background paper at Hobby Lobby and knew it was coming home to make a fall card! Doesn't it just "scream" Fall! The stamp set and papers and inks are all SU. The stamp set is "Give Thanks". And I do ... For my family's health, love, and closeness! Thanks for looking!

Happy Fall Y'all!

This card was one of my first attempts for a fall card that didn't use fall stamps!
SU stamp set "Be Happy" was used. SU papers real rust and mellow moss. Real rust and chocolate chip inks. I used some old paper I had hanging around for the background. I also used the stampin' around jumbo wheel with "rough texture". I am pretty happy with the results. I cased the layout from someone on splitcoast. (I don't remember who, but will add their name after I go back to splitcoast and check.)
