Birthdays at Paper Vineyard

Hello Everyone,

Another week, another project for Paper Vineyard. This week, our challenge was to make something for a birthday using the Kaiser Kraft Birthday line - and it couldn't be a card!! Well, since I have been trying my hand at mini-books, I decided to make one for this challenge. I was at a weekend crop here in Phoenix over the weekend and worked on it there. This post is picture heavy since I included shots of all the pages.

I used the Kaiser Kraft Birthday line of papers, stickers and stamps. I made the book from scratch using chipboard and binding the pages together with Bazzill paper. I also bound the outside of the book with Bazzill paper. I used cuts from several Cricut cartridges - Birthday Cakes, Birthday Bash, Carousel, George and Basic Shapes, Tags Bags Boxes and More, and Create a Critter. I also used twine, gems, chalk ink, ribbons, lace and buttons from my stash of goodies.

Let me know what you think and have a great rest of the week!

More cards

Here are a few more cards that I have made in the past week. I have been trying to step out of my comfort zone, so they may look a little different. The cards were made for no one in particular, just ones to keep in my stash for when I may need one in a hurry.

NSD MPS Challenge #3

This is my card for My Pink Stampers National Scrapbook Day Challenge #3 - Thinking outside of the box. I used some plastic packaging and embossed it with my Cuttlebug using the Tiny Bubbles folder to look like, guess what, bubbles! Then I glued that down to a paper that looked like water and matted that. I don't usually put plastic on my cards, but when I saw the fish in Create A Critter and thought about this challenge, it just made sense. Hope you like it!
