Pumpkin Patch Mini Album

Today I am sharing a fun little mini album perfect for fall! I went with Kennedy's preschool class last fall on their field trip to the pumpkin patch. Of course I took way too many photos! So I decided to make a mini album to fit them in!!!


I used lots of Making Memories papers and tons of other goodies from my stash! I also used the epiphany crafts tool - you will get to see the close ups of them!!!




Remember you can always click on a photo to see it enlarged!











Hope you enjoyed!!!!!! Have a blessed day!

My Little Shoebox Farewell Blog Hop

The My Little Shoebox team is doing a blog hop today to say good bye to outgoing team members (I am one of them!) and celebrate the new team (YAY!!).

And I am the first stop on the Hop!!!!


The "old" team has created all kinds of fun projects to share today!
And it would not be a blog hop without prizes of course!!
So you need to check out all of our blogs & leave a comments on those that are giving away prizes! Mine included! I will be giving away a bunch of amazing MLS overlays and mini alphas to a random winner that posts a comment on my blog!!!
Fabulous!!
So make sure you follow along the blog hop and check out all the blogs!


So here are my last "official" My Little Shoebox projects...
{*sniff*}{*sniff*}


This month I worked with the Away We Go line. And first up is a tri-fold card!!!

*********************************************************** My second project is a mini album! I picked up these chipboard cars quite some time ago at Michael's for dirt cheap! And I thought they seemed perfect for this mini! I created it for my dear friend who is traveling to California as we speak! She isn't a scrapbooker but I wanted her to have a way to save her family's vacation memories. So I made a journal box for each day of the trip where they can write a list of what they did that day. The next page has journaling spot for each of the family members to record their favorites of that day! I hope they are enjoying it!!!

So comment away!! The next stop on the hop is Robyn's Blog!!!!!!
And do not forget to check out the My Little Shoebox blog and leave a comment there too!
Have fun!
Be Blessed!

My Little Shoebox + Punky Sprouts + Sakura Part 1

My Little Shoebox has been pairing with some amazing companies lately! I wanted to show you two of them today. This mini album is created by Punky Sprouts. It is so fun! It is chipboard, canvas and acrylic all mixed up! Below is a curved acrylic page!

For this month I used the Just Add Butter line from My Little Shoebox! So fun and extra cute!




We also paired up with Sakura. I was truly blown away by these pens! They are the Glaze line. I expected the flow to be lacking and the color to bleed. Boy, was I wrong!!!!!! The flow with these pens are wonderful!!!! If you hold the tip in one spot for more than a second or two it will start to pool up. But with regular writing this rarely happens. The colors were much brighter than I had expected! The coolest part is that they have a wet look when they are completely dry! And they create a raised image when finished. I was able to write on patterned paper, canvas and the amazing MLS overlays! Impressive!!!!



Here is what Kennedy drew using the Sakura pens!
In this photos you can see the pink on the MLS overlay!


These photos just really don't do these pens justice!!!


I will have the rest of the photos of this mini album soon along with some Tattered Angels goodies!!!

The Sampler May Kit

The May kit from The Sampler was packed with lots of goodies again this month! This mini album that is included holds so many possibilities! I created it to hold important birthdays, anniversaries and other dates. It was a gift for my mother-in-law for Mother's Day.


I decided to go with the vintage theme since there were so many fun 7 Gyspies products!!! I also used a journaling blog stamp I already owned and added some stickers from my personal stash.

I ended up using cardstock from my own stash as well - to create space for her to write all the names and dates.
But I did end up using each and every 7 Gypsies journaling card and every in of 7 Gypsies paper!
I can't wait to see what the other design team members created with May's kit!!!!!

Kennedy just had her 5th birthday! Her party was a cooking theme so the cute mini kit that came in The Sampler kit was perfect for the photos! There were only a few chipboard pages that came in the kit, but I needed more. So I traced them onto my own chipboard and made my own!
