My "10 Things I Love About You" Project

Here is yet another project from Kathy Files at Paper Phenomenon!  I'm just posting a picture of the chest, but the inside of this chest holds 10 small mini albums (10 "things") and has a drawer to boot!  For this project, all the paper is from Stampin' Up. 

All of Kathy's projects are so much fun to make and her live Ustream classes are always a good time - check them out!  Below is the link to Kathy's Blog, the UStream videos for this project, and a YouTube video for the album pages.  Please feel free to leave a comment!

My "Travel Tales" Project

Below is a short video of my "Travel Tales" project.  This pattern is originally designed by Kathy Files of Paper Phenomenon fame.  Below the video is a link to her blog (where you can purchase the tutorial and see the rest of her amazing projects) and her ustream videos (4 parts) that will guide you through creating your very own "Travel Tales" project.  Please leave a comment - I enjoy them!





Wish Upon a Star

Here is a very bright pink & lime green birthday card.  I think this yarn is called an eyelash yarn - I had some left over from making a scarf a few years ago - and it's a Lion Brand yarn (if I remember correctly).

Drivin' By Birthday Card

Here's another masculine birthday card, this one made with license plate paper from Tim Holtz.  I really enjoy his paper stacks because they have lots of papers I can use for the men in my family.

Been Ridin' Long?

Here's a simple card for my nephew.  Of all my family members, he's the one I have the toughest time making cards for every year for his birthday!
