Black/Purple Butterfly Album

Here is a small album I made a week or so ago with the paper I’ve been DYING to use. 

 It’s black and white, with purple/teal accents, and I used chipboard die cuts and pretty butterflies to decorate it. I’ve just got to add that I LOVE my cinch Kymberlee sent me for Christmas, and I LOVE the French Manor cartridge from the Circle. It’s my go-to for prettiness!

 I also included a beautiful flower I made with my cuttlebug quilling kit Kymberlee sent awhile back. I love making flowers with it. I have no idea what to do with the book, so I told my little sister she needed to get a purple prom dress so she can have it!

In other news, I am SOOO close to being finished with Whitney’s baby book. Just need to integrate seasonal pages with a safari theme! (So far I’ve got Santa driving a train full of presents, elephants, hippos, and lions for Christmas, and a snake coming out of an egg with bunny ears for Easter). I still need Summer, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Valentine’s Day, and a page for their move from California to Colorado. Ideas please! I can’t wait to show pictures when I’m all done. It’s been a labor of love. 

What I've Been Up To

Here are a few cards I've worked on in the past few days. The first one is an easel card I made using some scrap cuts from the project I've been working on for my sister using K&Co. paper.

The next two are using the Create-a-Critter cuts I love so much! Here is an easel card I made for the husband. I love the blue Stickles water and the little gold heart brad holding it up.

And here are a few I made that need cute phrases on them.

And after getting a few new goodies from Stampin' Up I had to try out the tree stamp. I embossed the green background using my Cuttlebug, and used a cute Martha Stewart lattice punch I got on clearance from Walmart to cut the vellum background. It's much more beautiful in person, trust me!
