March Typewriter Tag

March has somehow gotten away from me, so I'm just now finishing this month's tag for the Vintage Typewriter. 

Flower Explosion Box

Well, I have spring fever, even if the calendar and mother nature are not quite ready!  Spring ideas have been tumbling around in my mind - colors, flowers, quotes and sayings... I also had been thinking some time about making an explosion box, but I wanted to do something different.  So I thought...why not try to make a flower pot, fill it with flowers and then make it explode to have more flowers inside?

Mini Album for Vintage Camera

Today I finished the mini album that fits in the back of the Vintage Camera.  You may remember the camera from a post earlier this month.  Now the album that goes inside is done.

I'm not much of a picture taker so I usually find some quotes or interesting items to go in an album.  This time I followed a theme of "create", based on the word tag that accompanied the butterfly on the lens of the camera.

Valentine for Sarah

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!  Today I made this card for my niece.  It's really a tag that fits inside a bag but I think it qualifies as a card.

I started out by using  the wrinkle free distress technique on a piece of paper large enough to fit Tim Holtz' "In the Bag" die. I originally used a piece of glossy paper but I wasn't sure if the ink was drying properly so I switched to regular cardstock (I found out later that had I been patient, the ink would have thoroughly dried.  I'm going to use that glossy paper for another project because it is really pretty, but I digress.)
