Make a cute butterfly card in only 5 minutes!

On April 12th at approximately 7pm the neighbourhood deer put on quite a spectacular show in my back yard.

A layout I made today using the lp record paper from the Mod-Retro stack from Die Cuts With A View

I love watching videos of how people come up with their designs, so I decided to make one myself. I used the Scarlet Lime december 2010 kit for this layout about my family's journey from Moncton to Halifax with an unplanned pit stop in the middle.

I taped the making of the haunted house from the Happy Hauntings Cricut cartridge. This video covers prep work, cutting, scoring and assembly of all the pieces, and shows each piece assembled. The second vid shows how the pieces all come together to make the house.

Here are the links to the printables I used in these spreads:

There is a video uploading now about how I print at Staples.

Sharing my completed Starbucks Card Minialbum. This mini album is made from 4 Starbucks gift cards (already used up!) and one part of a Starbucks coffee sleeve. I used a variety of scraps of Christmas papers from the past few years. These tiny minis are a great way to use up scraps from larger projects.

Making a giftbox for A2 cards that opens at the top.

I just learned how to make these after watching FollowThe PaperTrail's awesome tutorial. Although it takes some time to assemble, there is no sanding involved (hooray!!). I wanted to show what it looked like before I covered it in paper and embellished it.

I am hoping to get several years into this album (I'm thinking 6 years- one for each paper bag used). I like the idea of having the album all ready to go and each year just embellish one section and add tags with journalling and photos from that year.

I don't know how to put a link, but here's the url to the tutorial:

We've been showing the kids some of the music parts of Glee and Livie has inadvertently become a Kiss fan as a result! This is what I caught her doing as I came upstairs to help her brush her teeth tonight.
