Lots of New Listings on my Etsy Store

Hi, I hope everyone is having a good New Year so far.  I wanted to start off my New Year by checking off my to do list.  One of which was to post lots of supplies and new handmade items on my Etsy Store Kitsnbitscraps!

Well so far I have been able to just that.  I still have more to add and have been trying to add at least one per day!  I also have plenty of other items on my to do list but for now I am concentrating on one resolution at a time LOL.

So I added lots of scrapbooking supplies on my Etsy store.  And also some cute hand made items.  One of which is this adorable "Happy Heart" mini album.  This album is compact and so cute.  I used the Basically Bare "Tiny Tabs" mini album and Christy Tomlinson's/Pink Paislee "She Art" collection.  I really love her work, she is so talented.  For some of the embellishments I sprinked in some embellies from Heidi Grace.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This album turned out so cute, check out my "Happy Heart" album at my store.  Thank you for stopping by!

This is "SEW" cute

I already had posted this album over on the Basically Bare blog back a couple of months, but I was looking at it today and I have to say ... I really love this album.  I had some vintage trinkets that my G'ma Elsie had given me and so I think I got attached to this album because of the mementos.  Also because I think it turned out "SEW" cute.

So I am sharing this little treasure on my blog with you today. 

 

 

 

The cover is made from two acrylic pages from the "oh so mini" albums that I hand sewed together

 

 

These two tags that I made from the Tim Holtz "Kraft Resist" are sandwiched between the two acrylic pages from the Basically Bare "Oh so Mini" album pages

 

 

The pocket on this page is made from (G'ma's) vintage snap packing.  There is also a vintage button packing tag in the pocket

 

 

stamped "tape measure" tag stamped with Impression Obsession.  I always try and pick one element that I place through out my album.  For this "Sew Cute" album is was the tags I stamped with the "tape measure" rubber stamp

 

 

Tape measure stamp using staz-on on the Basically Bare canvas page

 

 

I used the 7 gypsies tissue paper for my ruffle.  The button on the top is from Jenni Bowlin.  I LOVE those buttons

 

 

 

The dress form is from Basically Bare.  I "dressed" up the form with wood buttons, some paper and lace.  How cute is that?

 

 

 

The Tim Holtz Kraft Resist and the October Afternoon paper has really enhanced sewing theme

 

 

I love using buttons whenever I can.  These buttons are from

October Afternoon

 

 

 

Thank you for stopping by and letting me share my love of making albums with you.

 

Happy Scrapping ..

Well its been over a year since I started writing for Scrapstreet magazine and I want to thank Dora and the Scrapstreet team for that opportunity.  The 100th and final issue of ScrapStreet magazine is here after 7 years.  I gotta say I am going to miss it.  The magazine was loaded with ideas and inspiration.

So as I hang my hat as a scrapstreet writer, I want to make sure you go on over to Scraptreet because they have alot of digital giveaways.

Thank you Scrapstreet for inviting me to be a part of a great group of people, and a very inspirational magazine.

So this is the last day of our Basically Bare/Xyron Swap.  Check out all the projects the Basically Bare design team members posted this week.  Here is mine.

I have been using Xyron for a very L O N G time and this product has never failed me, for that thank you Xyron

 

Both Xyron and Basically Bare are giving away prizes so be sure to comment on their blogs.  Remember today is the last day.  Also a little sugar my way would be nice too :)

 

I made this cute mini journal album with Basically Bare "Polly Pocket" album and yes, of course I used Xyron.

 

 

I still have to finish some of the pages on the inside - so stay tuned for some pictures of that.

Bella Blvd and Basically Swap

Basically Bare and Bella Blvd just finished a week long swap.  Everyone did such an awesome job on their projects you must check it out on Basically Bare and also Bella Blvd.

Today I want to share my post on the Basically Bare blog.  Of course I did an album :)  I used the new "Easel" album by Basically Bare and the so very cute "Thankful" by Bella Blvd.

Since the "Thankful" collection from Bella Blvd. had some really cute thanksgiving designs I decided to make my easel album about what I am Thankful for.

Here is a look:

 

 

 

 

Isn't this easel album so cute?  It stands on your coffee table or bookshelf.  I brought it out after dinner and had my family write what they were thankful for in the journaling space I made on some of the pages. 

 

 

 

 

Look how cute this tree came out.  I made it from the "Happy Little Trees" from Basically Bare and instead of the tree top I used the Basically Bare chipboard buttons.  Did you notice the little leaves I cut out and glued to the ends of the May Arts jute?

 

 

Of course I made some pages for my Thanksgiving photos!

 

This was really a fun swap and I loved the Bella Blvd "Thankful" papers and my new "Easel" album.  Thank you for stopping by today and dont forget to go to Basically Bare and to Bella Blvd to see what the other designers created for the swap.
