Baby Advice Card Album

 This year I've challenged myself to create some new designesd books. Something out of the box that starts the trend instead of me casing other styles. This is another another album, only unlike my tag albums this one holds advice cards.
 This particle baby advice card album holds 42 cards or the cards can be swapped for 3" x 4.5" photos.
I tied it up with shoe lace binding instead of the traditional stab stitch binding I've been using.  I'm thinking about trying this in a coptic binding too and adding more pages.


Isn't this a neat way to keep all those advice cards together?

Framed Page Love Poem


A little while back, Bella and I spent a Saturday afternoon crafting up some Valentine cards. Each the kids wanted to participate in the ROMANCE YOUR CARD contest to help out their friend. Mind you, their cards will be displayed with the rest. My kiddo's cards won't be numbered for voting, but they will be sold as part of the auction fundraiser.

Bella's been really into anagram poetry lately. I asked her if she would write me a poem, since she was writing them for others at school, but she resonded, "You have to write your own."
So I did.

You can find the details of how to create this framed love poem HERE on my author website.

I used the following to create it:

* Orginal anaram poem by me printed out from Word.
* Milepost Shapes
* Roxie B & T Duo Paper
* Kraft paper 8.5" x 11" (cut to 8" x 10")
* $1 frame from the grocery store
* Rhinestones
* Baker's Twine


I've placed my lovely anogram love poem in a frame and set it in our dinning room, it actually goes quite well with the decor. You can create your own Anogram poem and frame it by doing the following:

1. Pick a word, like love, and write setences or words that begin with the letter or the word. So like LOVE. I used words L is Lepid, O is Obsessive, V is Volitent, and E is Everlasting. See how that works? Oh and Volitent = willing. Another new thing learned when I was trying to find words related to love for my anogram poem.

Mini Kiss Favor



This is a little mini Kiss Favor Treat I created. I'm thinking that over the next few days I'll end up making about two dozen of these for one of the kids to hand out for class room valentines. 

And talking about valentines, just a reminder that the sign up deadline is drawing near for this month's workshop. If you haven't signed up yet, you can do so here.

Mini Kiss Favor Treat Recipe:

Art Philosophy Cartridge - Set size to 5" cut petal box shape and 2 3/4" heart tag shape.
I used baker's twine to tie my favor box together with tag, starting in February with the new idea book you will be able to purchase baker's twine! Got to love this stuff!
1 Hersey Kiss.

You can use any kind of CTMH designer paper, or even plain card stock. Can't wait to see how yours turned out, send me a pic and I'll share here on the blog!

Well the days are running short and there is only 8 more days to get your card entries in for the Romance Your Card Contest. Help me fill the wall with card for Pajama Factory First Friday on February 3, 2012. The more cards, the more proceeds go to the Heller family!
