60 years of joy: Mini Album


Here is one of my favorite albums. It's an acrylic mini album I made at a class given in Kuala Lumpur at one of my favorites scrapbooking stores: scrap-n-crop.

I took that class in April 2009, so I don't remember all the details, but the album was so preety that I had to share it with you.

I gave it to my mother in law as her 60 year-old b-day. I made a matching box to give that extra nice touch. That's why i called it "60 years of joy". If you know my mother in law just pretend you didn't read her age...LOL, maybe she's going to hang me when she reads this...

I hope you enjoy it.

By the way, I didn't add any music to the video because I don't know how those rights thing work (just in case...)

Cute notebook for a gift


The end of the school year is coming veeeery soon, and I wanted to make something special to give to my kids' teachers. They have been great in helping them to settle and fit in this new school.

I made this book for them (I'm only showing one)

I bought the notebooks on sale, I decorated the front and back, added their names to personalize them and decorated some pages inside with some cute stamps.

Now I just need to make a cute matching box to make it perfect...I hope none of the teachers follow this blog, otherwise I spoiled the surprise...LOL

Stamps: The {stamps} of life, Thanks2You set

Papers: DCWV Old world stack.

A simple card


Hola,
This card is what I first made when I finally got my shipment. We moved to Spain a couple of months ago and I felt lost without my crafts supplies, and when I got my things and managed to open all of the boxes....I created this simple card saying Hola!
The base is just some patterned paper and stickers for the letters. And the small embellishment I made is a piece of self adhesive Textile Circles (by Technique Tuesday) which I inked, stamped and mounted. Then added some faux stitching with a marker. I also decorated the inside with the same papers, but I didn't add any sentiment to leave it for any occasion.

B-day Mini Album

Since I just started my "arty" blog I am going to add little by little my previous creations...


Today I'm showing you a mini album I made for my sister a couple of years ago. She is a very cool aunt to my kids so I wanted to include photos of her with the little ones in this mini album. We gave it to her on her birthday :)


She loved it!



Mini Album: My 2 lil' ones

My latest creation... a mini album inspired by the "round mini album" showed by "2worldswings" on a video on youtube.
I saw her project long time ago and really liked it, I decided to give it a try and I love the results.
