Hi guys! I am so excited to share my card with you today!
Do you see that background and the popped-up embellishment!? I made those and I am just in love with them! I will say that the background is very delicate and though it cuts perfectly with my Silhouette Cameo, I do not think Cricut will be able to handle the delicate areas. You also have to use great care when removing it from the Cameo mat.
Here are my designs:
I sized the Circle and frame to 2" to work perfectly with the PSA Stamps :)
You can get the Circle Label the background design HERE
I used my Xyron 2" Cheetah Runner to place adhesive on my background. This adhesive goes on in small dots and since it rolls so smoothly, it is perfect for delicate cuts! I use the adhesive runner on my Ranger craft mat so I can easily remove any excess glue.
Once I have my background covered, I simply add it to a 5-1/2" x 5-1/2" card base.
To adhere my ribbon, I used my 1.5" Xyron Create-a-Sticker "X" machine!
I love how easy this machine makes adhering my ribbons...I just pull it off the sticker sheet and apply!
Supplies:
Cardstock/Patterned Paper: Afternoon Tea Collection (Scrap Within Reach)
Punch: Border (EK Success) and 1/4" Corner Rounds (Zutter)
Ribbon: Afternoon Tea Collection (Scrap Within Reach)
Stamp: Dare to Dream (PSA Essentials)
Ink: Sweet Plum (Momento)

My Sister-in-law, Kim created a binder of all (LOL a binder would not hold that!) some her scrappy supplies and she takes it with her when we go out shopping so that she knows what she has at home! I just loved the idea and had to try one for myself! My album is 5" x 8-1/2" and is sporting some of my favorite Scrap Within Reach, Paper Boy!
I have 60 pages, many of which are still empty...need that room to grow, right!? :)
I printed notebook paper on a thick white cardstock (my HP B8550 large format photo printer has this feature built in and I LOVE it!) to use as the pages. I have a few graph sheets at the end of the book as well...not sure what to use them for yet - I just have an addiction to graph paper!
For some of the pages, I copied photos from the internet into Word then printed them out so that I would be able to see the products:
I even printed a "tiny" version of the Copic chart...
And these are Stamps by Judith...something Kim has a lot of! She talked me into these during the Mega Meet earlier this month! You should see her book of stamps...you'd be as jealous as I am! :)
And of course a rubber band to hold it all together as it runs free in my purse!
Don't you just love the idea!?
And as long as I write down the new stuff, I will never have a duplicate again!
Thanks for the inspiration Kim! Hannah and I had a lot of fun pulling out all the stuff and adding it to my book!

How is that for a title!? This is a box/bag that is known around my house as a "large fry"...yes, they are all so very funny.
This is a SCAL file that I have created which you can get HERE.
Hannah had a birthday party last weekend and she had created this drawing of Tink on the front of her card just from looking at a picture! She colored it in with colored pencils...isn't it amazing?! I am just so proud of her!
We added in a gift card and some shredded rafia and viola! Fry box or not - I think it makes for a really pretty gift! :)

This is another project with the Scrap Within Reach Kraft Mini Bags and it was such a fun project for me! I based the design off of the 3x3 Kraft Mini Bags and added in a few pages on each side of the bags. There are so many hidden spaces in this album, it is really fun to look through. This documents Hannah's tenth birthday party and ten girls that came to sleepover with us...talk about a crazy party! Supplies:
Punches: EK Success
Ribbon: Making Memories and Misc. Twine
