Girly Glitz Skull Mini Album & Video

Hello everyone and Happy Sunday to all!

I'm super EXCITED to share my Girly Glitz Skull Mini Album today designed for Really Reasonable Ribbon. I had started the cover of my album Last year, and did the crackle effect on the skulls then. However when I got hurt, everything was put on hold. So I decided it was time to finish her up!

Supplies Used:

Kiaser Craft Skull Album

Really Reasonable Ribbons-

Black Jute 1.5"

Black Satin

Satin Swiss dot Black

1.5 Black Crocheted Lace

Black Gingham

Gingham Black 3/8"

Garden Rose Satin

Bright Pink 3/8" Ric Rac

Sheer Ruffled Edge Fuchsia 

Bright Pink Satin Double Ruffled Edge

Dots Grosgrain Pink and Black

Black Netting/under trims and lace

Helmar Glues /Decoupage

Contractors tape

My Little Shoebox Alphabet Stickers

CottageCutz Dies-Seed Packet ,Lace Envelope, Halloween Border

Victorine Originals Stamps

Feathers,bling,buttons,trims,vintage lace, stickers,cats

So for my album I used on the front cover some Black Jute, Double Ruffled Edge Ribbon, Satin Polka Dot, and Black Satin to bind my album. All are from Really Reasonable Ribbon. In my video I show and tell how I did my album and what ribbons I used throughout.

This page on the left opens,and you will see that in my video. I made a couple of pockets to add photos and tags for writing. Can't wait to add some Halloween photos of the kids and hubby and I :)

For the right page here I used the CottageCutz Seed Packet Die for the swivel pockets and I will add some photos to the inside of each of those.

This is the last page and is the backside of my Skull Mini Album. I used the CottageCutz Lace Envelope on the back.  Its been a habit of mine lately to add one to each album on the back. I used more RRR and Lace for this page :)

Pretty In PINK FRIENDSHIP card

Hello Friends!!!

Today I'm sharing my card designed for Victorine Originals Challenge #41 Brown, white, and 1 other color, of course I chose PINK....hehehehehehe 

I just LOVE PINK, its one of my FAVORITE colors. So for my card I used  Victorine Originals Friendship Stamp, LOVE all the sentiments VO carries, there are soooo MANY to choose from. I then used Tim Holtz Spun Sugar and dusted around the frame(Spellbinders), and then used Paper Temptress Brown Card Stock. For the Layering I used Paper Temptress brown, Pink and white silver lustre , and then added some sewing.

for the dp i used The Robin's Nest Beautiful Dp-Pink Awning Glitter, next I used the super sweet Dew drops and Tear Drops that The Robins Nest carries, and glued them on the corners of my card using my FAVORITE Helmar Glue-Premium Craft Glue. The entire card was put together using Helmar Quickfix tape runner,Premium Craft Glue, and Helmar Zapdots. Of course I used Helmars 450 Quick Dry for my bow, and flower.

Supplies Used:

Victorine Originals Friends Sentiment

Paper Temptress Cardstock-Pink,brown, and silver lustre

Helmar -450 quickdry,Premium Craft Glue, Zapdots, Quickfix tape runner

The Robins Nest-Dew Drops-Mint Choc, Tear Drops-Lovebirds, Pink Awing Glitter Dp

Tim Holtz - Spun Sugar 

Sewing ,flower

I used the Pink Satin from RRR and ran it acrossed my card(Glued to the back on both sides) then made a bow and glued it on using Helmar 450 Quick Dry. I love working with this ribbon, its super easy to make big beautiful bows!!!  The Lace is some from my stash and is cut down, and then glued on using 450 quick dry. I pleated it as I went.
