Enjoy Family Time New Album

It's my turn over at Basically Bare blog today.  I created a cute family time album that I am also going to make into a class.  I used one of favorite album Polly's Pocket.  This album makes it so easy to create a mini album, I love the pockets and tags and the extra room you get for adding more photos and journaling.

Go on over to Basically Bare today - I posted more photos of my album.

New Valentine 5 Reasons Why I Love You

I have been a busy bee surrounded by lots of pink, red, white, hearts and flowers.  Valentine's Day is around the corner and I have one of my new albums is featured over at Basically Bare today.

I used lots of Basically Bare embellishments such as the Hearts, Fanciful Frames, Lovely Lock and key and of course the album Polly's Pocket.  I love using this album because there is so much room for photos and journaling opportunities.

 

 

 

There are 5 numbered tags throughout the album to prompt you to list your personal 5 reasons why you love your husband, friend, child or bestie.

 

Go on over to Basically Bare where I have posted more photos.  Thank you for stopping by, and Happy Scrapping ...

 

 

Winter Wonder

Hi, wanted to share this 12x12 canvas (Blick) that I made for the Basically Bare CHA show.  They have a new chipboard window diecut this year and it was so fun to use. 

I painted the chipboard white then added layers of the Art Anthology (linen) sorbet, doesn't it look like snow!  Love their products.  I added some cute Bo Bunny paper, some paint, bling and Basically Bare's stars from their Celestial Shapes Embellishment pack and voila - a winter wonderland as seen through their new window diecut.

Please go on over to Basically Bare today where this frosty canvas is featured and let me know what you all think.

Keep warm, and happy scrapping ...

BE TRUE Valentine

Hi,

Well I am still in the mood for Valentine's Day so I made this cute chipboard and paper bag mini album.  It measures 4x7 but the cool thing about it is that is 3 inches thick!  Which translates into TONS of real estate for your photos, journaling and special memories of your True Love.  I have two True Loves in my life that I could not live without - my daughter and my husband. 

I have posted this album on my store so just click here for Kitsnbitscraps and see what else you might like including more Valentine albums!

Here are some more photos of the album, there are 27 pages for photo ops and or journaling.  There are also 3 tags and pockets for smaller journaling and 6 large tags and pockets.

 

The album is tied together with May Arts ribbon

 

 

Each signature has a flap that opens up for more photos, I saw Kathy Orta do this and thought it was cool.  The flap is glued onto the gusset of the paper bag.  Also notice all the cute large tags that are in the pocket of the paper bag.  More photos, more journaling and also slip in some extra momentos

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I used a combination of Little Yellow Bicycle, Reflections, May Arts, canvas, buttons, and die cuts.

 

Hope you are enjoying my Valentine inspirations, remember to stop by my store Kitsnbitscraps and see my new postings.

 

Happy Scrapping ...

 

 

 

 

Be My Valentine

I just finished this cute banner album "Be My Valentine" and posted it at my Etsy  Kitsnbitscraps store.  Since Valentine's Day is around the corner, I am busy making albums for those special moments with your loved ones.

The album is made with the My Little Yellow Bicycle banner album which measures 6x6.5 and has 10 pages including the covers.

I really like the way this album turned out and hope you do too.  I decided to make this album with less embellishments and 3D elements and make the photos mats larger.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am almost finished with a second Valentine album and I have posted new layouts on my Kitsnbitscraps store also, so stop by and visit.

 

Happy Scrapping ...

Pumpkin Patch and Tilly's Tabs

Its my turn to be featured over at the Basically Bare Blog.  I posted a really cute Pumpkin Patch album using Basically Bare's Tilly's Tab album.

I love tabs because I can use different words and/or embellishments on the tabs. 

 

 

 

 

 

One of the fun things about using this album is that it has an envelope page.  I love these envelopes for hidden journaling or extra photos.

 

 

 

I sprayed Art Anthology color spray on my pages for a vintage look.

 

 

 

 

I want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving, enjoy going to your local pumpkin patch and take plenty of photos.

 

Be sure to go visit my post over at Basically Bare - I have posted more pictures of the Pumpkin Patch Tilly's Tab album there.

 

Happy Scrapping ...

New Tag FALL Album for Basically Bare

Hello all, I am well into the Holiday season starting with Fall and Thanksgiving.  I have made several Fall and Thanksgiving albums and loving all the colors and autumn leaves of Fall.  Well not the real ones, since I live in S. Florida and its summer all the time here.  I can still get my Fall fix with all the Primas, Petaloos and whatever flower arrangement I can find at Michaels to tear apart.

This little cutie is over at Basically Bare so please go check out their blog for more creations from the Basically Bare design team.

I love making these cute and easy tag albums by using the "Tiny Tabs" from Basically Bare.  Since I tend to make my album chunky I take out some pages from my Tiny Tabs and end up with two albums (whoo hoo).  Love the giant rings on the Tiny Tabs so that when my album does come out chunky (even when I don't try) then at least the rings give me space in between my pages. 

I hope you enjoy my sharing the latest tag album I made as much as I enjoyed making it.

 

 

 

 

For more pictures of this album please head on over to Basically Bare.  Thank you for stopping by, happy scrapping ...
