Tweet Memories Birthday Card Book

I decided to play with the Heidi Grace "Tweet Memories" paper until I became sick of it (which happened around the time I realized I punched the holes in the book backwards and had to re-do it, I think). It has taken a few days, but I finally finished my birthday card book along with 12 cards. The only part I really don't like about making these books is that my rings (2" on the Cinch) aren't quite big enough to make the book close well when full of cards. I wish I could find a better binding for them. 

Here's what the inside looks like. I used brown vinyl to cut the months from Designer's Calendar.

Here are the front of the cards.

Here is a peek of the inside. I used Papertrey Ink's Birthday Sentiments for the words.

Here is an example of what the page looks like. These books are super easy to make. 

The envelopes were all identical.

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.
