Under the Sea Album with Heartfelt Creations

Today, I am happy to share with you my favorite Heartfelt Creations project ever, with my favorite collection from them of all time!  I finally sat down and created one of their flip fold albums, and I truly poured my heart into this one. This is the brand new Under the Sea collection and it is stunning!

Not only do you have all of the sea creatures, but there is also this fabulous Water Hibiscus flower!

I made a shaker element for the front of the album (if you look you will see the shimmery sequins).

This album has ton of interactive pages, but I just thought I would share  a few with you.

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Fancy Fold Card

I just thought that I would share a fancy gatefold card that I created.  I love lots of  texture and details, so I think this card fits the bill.

Here you can see what the card looks like closed and laced shut.

Thanks for stopping by!

Mary, Mary

I thought I would share a card today featuring Mary, Mary - to help usher in spring! I have been enjoying seeing all of the flowers blooming and am ready for spring to be here and stay!

Using ColourArte with Digital Images

 Do you struggle to use digital images with your mixed media techniques? I have a tutorial up on the ColourArte Blog showing you how I used a digital image to create this lovely card. I'd love for you to stop by and have a look!

Love Letter Box

February is almost over (even though this year we have an extra day!) So with it being the month of love, I thought it would be fun to make a little box for love letters using Prima's new Tales of You and Me by Frank Garcia.  I love this collection!

 And of course, I used a ton of the Art Ingredients from Finnabair on this as well.

I played along with the Prima Product Picks for February.

Mixed Media Love Card

Happy February! It's the first Monday of the month, so that means I have a tutorial ready for you on the ColourArte blog.  I will show you how to create this delicate water colored background that is soft and romantic (perfect for February!) 

Love You...To the Moon and Back

 I am back on the ColourArte Blog with a project to share. I know I have scrapped this picture before, but I just love it.  And everytime I look back on my sweet nephew, I can't believe how much he grows up overnight.

May Arts Ribbon and CardMaker Blog Hop

Welcome to the May Arts/ Ribbon Resource and CardMaker Blog Hop! We know you are going to "love" this hop and will find many ideas to inspire your Valentine's Cardmaking projects.  The Ribbon Lady is giving two lucky peeps a $25 gift certificate to the Ribbon Resource (all of the details will be on the RR Blog).

I love old-fashioned looking Valentine's Cards, so I kept with a soft, aged look for my card.  I cut the heart in the card front and filled in the space with lovely lace.  The pink silk bow finished it off perfect!
