Hey Crate Paper fans! Its Bea here and I’m so excited to share my first project using HeyPumpkin collection. Halloween collections are always fun to create with, and Hey Pumpkin is no exception. I love the traditional colors and all the adorably spooky embellishments! We always celebrate Halloween at least two times (at the school and at our house party), so we have a bunch of photos to document every year. I decided to create the base of our Halloween album in advance, and add the photos later. I wanted to create a really fun and witchy album, so I turned my album into a cute, black reticule. To do that, I cut a paper box using my cutting machine and added a glittered foam bag buckle. I used the same striped fabric to decorate the album and the paper bag and attached the bag handle to the spine of the mini album. The size of my album is 4.25x5.25”. I used my favorite album binding technique, the hidden hinges technique. First, I created a chipboard album cover and then I folded hidden hinges to hold the pages. To decorate the cover, I backed a glittered chipboard frame with patterned paper and layered fussy cut houses on the front. The beautiful puffy stickers with holographic foil accents are one of my favorites in the collection, and I can’t resist adding the lovely cat sticker to the cover. The sparkling rat stickers and chipboard numbers added a special festive touch to the album. I added a lot of interactive pages, hidden journal tags, and tiny pockets to the album. I decorated the pages mostly with stickers and ephemera pieces. The large orange sequences from the ephemera pack were perfect to fill up the shaker pocket! As a finishing touch, I added fall leaves and beads to the album ‘handle’. I used my WRMK foil quill to add silver lines to the leaves, and then cut them out using my Silhouette. The playful form of the album is absolute makes me happy, and I can’t wait to fill the page with our memories. Thanks for joining me today, I hope you’re all inspired to create with this super fun collection!

I am still so thrilled with my newly set-up basement workshop! When I posted about it two weeks ago, I shared a small peek at my solution to storing scrap wood, and today I’m sharing that quick and easy DIY. I don’t know why I didn’t just do it before. My scrap wood “collection” was constantly growing, but with no organization at all. It basically consisted

What a beautiful weekend with lots of sun and temp's in the 60's. I did get a little bit of yard work done and I didn't over do it. I didn't want to mess my back up again! It rained just a bit last night and now the sun is coming out. It's supposed to rain all week; April Showers Bring May Flowers. Lots of them I hope! My share for today is a Succulent Crate that I made following one of my FAVE Stampin' Up Demonstrators, Leeann Greff, instructions and video. I just adore Leeann's creativity and talent and have followed her blog for years. I learned a lot from Leeann and we've e-mailed back and forth when I was learning how to make a couple of her cards. She taught me how to make my very first Gate Fold Card. Here is the link to Leeann's blog (Flowerbug's Inkspot) and then the link on how to make her Succulent Crate. http://flowerbug.typepad.com/my_weblog/ http://flowerbug.typepad.com/my_weblog/2017/03/gorgeous-succulents-projects.html Let's take a look at the Succulent Crate that I made per Leeann's instructions: I just LOVE how Leeann made this little crate and it was so easy to put together. For my Succulents, Large 6 Petal Succulent, Rich Razzleberry Cardstock sponged with Craft Whisper White Ink Medium 4 Petal Succulent, Pear Pizzazz Cardstock sponged with Rich Razzleberry Ink Medium 4 Petal Succulent, Pool Party Cardstock sponged with Rich Razzleberry Ink 3 Small 3 Petal Succulents - Pear Pizzazz w/ Rich Razzleberry Ink, Mint Macaron with Rich Razzleberry Ink and Rich Razzleberry w/Craft Whisper White Ink. I didn't have any Moss to put in my Crate and I didn't purchase any when I visited my local craft store. I thought it too expensive for what little you got in a bag so I used some shredded and crinkled Crumb Cake Paper. Leeann used Stampin' Up's Hardwood Stamp to stamp Crumb Cake Cardstock to make her Crate. I took the easy way out and used a piece from the Farmer's Market Designer Paper Series (Retired) to make my Crate. =) Shame on me, right! This was such a fun project to make and oh, so pretty! Thanks so much Leeann for the instructions and the video! You are awesome!!! That's all I have for today. Thanks for stopping by my blog!

Hi, Ladies! I'm up on the Crate Paper blog today with my first project using the fantastic and super cool All Heart collection. When I flipped through the colorful papers and the unique embellishments, I felt I needed to create something fun, easy and youngish, like a junk journal or smash book. When you start a smash book, the only rule is there are no rules! Just go with the flow, use your creativity and enjoy the process! To start, I grabbed a D-ring album and covered the front and back cover with patterned paper. Then, I covered the spine with a different paper and added washi tape to make my book even more pretty. To embellish the cover, I just added things that make me happy to see. The sparkling acrylic hearts, the blue tassel, and the silver ampersands are so pretty together! I used black puffy alphas from Sunny Days collection to create the ‘ideas’ title and added a ‘FUN’ chipboard sticker above. Then, I added an eyelet to the spine using my Crop-A-Dile and attached a metal Ball Chain top hold my DIY pom-pom tassel and some washi tapes. I also added a pen holder to the back cover using an eyelet and a pink hairband. To the inner side of the cover, I added a plastic pocket to hold tags, cards, stamps, and other pretty things I might need when I use this book. Next step is filling the album with my ideas, plans, thoughts, and creativity. I didn’t want to accurate define for what I use this book, but I created some tabbed divider to give me starting-points. The blue Piece Out paper is one of my favorite from this collection, and I chose it as a background for my first divider. I fussy cut pretty flowers from the Wallflower paper, and to give a white outline, I adhered the flowers to a white paper and fussy cut again. I arranged my photo to the center and adhered the flowers under the photo using foam adhesive. Then, I created a fun title using fussy cut alphas. Next, I grabbed the Be You paper with those colorful stripes, and machine stitched through all the lines using colorful threads. Then I added the ‘Hey Girl’ glittered chipboard sticker to the center. So pretty and fun! This project was a lot of fun to create! I hope it gives you some fun ideas to try with All Heart collection! Thanks for stopping by!

Hello everybody, thanks for stopping by today! I have a new mini album to share using the stunning Sunny Days collection. This mini album is all about my favorite moments at the beautiful Mediterranean Sea from last year. I’m an absolutely ‘summer type’ girl, and feel like this collection is just made for me! The beautiful bright colors and the lovely summer themed embellishments go hand-in-hand! Check out this short & sweet process video so you can see how this mini album came together: The album is a 4.5″x6″ size which I constructed using patterned papers. To create the spine of the album I used a simple accordion fold to attach all of my pages to, and made it stronger using plastic sheet and ribbon. I wanted to keep my album playful and interactive, so I trimmed my pages in different sizes, and added a lot of tiny extra pages to the main pages. My plan was to put one photo on each page and place my journaling behind the photo using a journaling tag. To do this, I turned all pages into a pocket by folding the papers in half and machine stitched them around. I used these paper pockets as main pages for my album. The pages above are some of my favorites in this album. I love the combination of the Sunkissed and Apple patterned paper, so I fussy cut some flowers and adhered them to the blue background. I also used a 3x4″ piece of the Apple paper to create a journaling tag and placed into the page pocket. On the next page, I used the super cool Happy Place paper’s B side as my main page, and can’t resist adding that cute bicycle chipboard sticker under my photo. I added a tiny label from the puffy thicker sheet underneath. Sunny Days collection is jam-packed with cute summer themed embellishments. I arranged a bunch from them on my next page around my photo. One of my favorite things at summer is laying in the sun, breath in the fresh air, reading a good book and relax. I wanted to feature this relax mood on the page, so I placed the photo to the bottom of the page and added cute ‘beach things’ around. Here are the additional spreads inside the mini album. The left page is an interactive page I created from paper stripes. I also added a black and white ephemera piece to the front and decorated with a hand-stitched flower using pink and yellow thread. On the last page of the mini album, I used the beautiful gold alpha stickers to create the title and added one from those fancy striped bows under the photo. I love getting our photos off the computer and into something that can be touched and flipped through! I hope you are inspired to document your memories into a mini album using Sunny Days collection.
