Toilet Paper Roll Mini Album

Hi everyone! Can you believe it?..............Summer is almost gone already! I hope you all are enjoying family and friends during this time and making lots of memories.

I've really been enjoying my grandchildren and it's kind of sad to realize they will be back in school soon, then I want be able to spend as much time with them.

Today I want to share a first! I have never created a toilet paper roll mini album before today. I had a lot of scrap pieces of paper and ribbon and a lot of this and that, so I thought I would put it to good use.

I have several bows in this album, all of the bows are created using the Craft Dee Bowz bow maker. If you would like information on or how to order this wonderful tool, please check out http://craft-deebowz.blogspot.com  Thank you for stopping by. I hope I have inspired you to be creative in some way today! Hugs Brenda

Christmas Tree

Hey everybody! I hope your week is going well? Not only is this Thursday, but also three days until Christmas! Wow!
I've got all my shopping done. Now I can enjoy the rest of the week. Minus a few goodies I need to bake before Christmas Day...............................

There is another handmade Christmas card I want to share with you. This one also goes into the category of very simple, but pretty.
Like I said, with preparing for Christmas and entering a lot of challenges, I got a little behind with my handmade Christmas cards to mail out. I know you are probably thinking, she has made a lot of Christmas cards. Well, that's true! I like to keep an updated portfolio of all my cards. Anyway, the recipe for this card is..............White card stock, stamped with blue snowflakes and a sentiment. I added a cut out Christmas tree from Bo Bunny design scrapbook paper. I used pop dots to give the tree dimension and a gem star on top of the tree.To finish it off, I added stickles glitter glue on the snowflakes, which you can't see in the picture, sorry.

Thanks again for stopping by. I'll be back on Christmas eve. See you then. Hugs Brenda

Merry Simple

LOL! How did you like that play on words?
This is a very simple handmade card, and the reason I mainly wanted to share it with you is, because of it's simplicity.
I've been doing a lot of challenges and I haven't had much time to put into the handmade cards I'm mailing out. Isn't that terrible? But this handmade card,I'm pleased with because it's simple and pretty. I think my family will be happy with this!
This card has a red card stock base, layered with a  Bo Bunny green design paper. Before putting the next layer on, I heat embossed in gold, Merry Christmas. The last layer is another Bo Bunny design paper of Christmas trees. You can't tell, but I have cut out a single red tree and placed it on top of the red tree with pop dots to give dimension. I added a blue star on top of the blue tree, and there you have it! A simple handmade card to mail out to family and friends. This card is a very good card to mass produce.
