Merry Christmas to our Heroes!!




Have you seen the movie above?? It will bring joy to your heart. :)

As some of you may know I have made and sent some cards to our fellow heroes abroad. You can see some of the cards I have made in the past HERE, HERE and HERE. I haven't sent any in since I became pregnant, but I have been collecting cards that I plan to send in after Christmas. They can use cards all year long. Any theme, any type, any holiday, just because cards. Take a look at their website and blog (links below) for more information on the cards you can make.

Operation Write Home is an awesome organization that sends the cards to our heroes and they get to send some love to their loved ones here back home for free.

If you would like to help you can make cards too or donate money that goes into paying for shipping costs. Just click HERE to find out more!

Merry Christmas everybody!!

Couldn't say No.



This past week I received an email with a request for Bridal cards. As you know I am taking a little break due to my pregnancy and not taking any custom orders for Bridal cards, but I just couldn't say no.

The Bride lost her father when he was 48 years old and is having her 2 brothers walk her down the aisle. She also asked for a special card to give to her Step Dad to ask him to lead her on the Father Daughter dance. She also wanted the cards in time for Christmas!!! I know...short notice...but how could I say no???

An additional 4 bridesmaids cards were also made. I shipped them today and she should get them all in time for Christmas!!

Now I feel like Santa Claus!!! hahahaha :)

Enjoy your weekend.

Baby boy Custom Word Album



As I had promised I wanted to share with you some of the first pictures of a Custom Name Album I am working on. The Mom asked me to make one for each of her sons. The photos below is just the first step of very detailed work. This album is made of MDF and stands at 8" tall and it's almost 17" long. It is gorgeous to decorate a mantle or a dresser. I promise to share the final pictures when the album is ready.



Here is a photo with a 4.25x5.5" card in front of the album so you can visualize the actual size. Once the album is ready, all the recipient needs to do is add the photos to it.



If you would like a custom made album please email me. I love custom orders and they are always the perfect gift for that someone that has everything.

This past week I also had an exquisite request to put together a kit to create one of my vintage albums like the ones you see HERE and HERE. If I have enough time, I might create some unique kits and add them to my store. I will share this first one when I finish putting it together.

I hope you have a great week. :)

It's a Beautiful Life - Vintage Scrapbook album



Hi everyone...

the skies are gray but I managed to get some decent pictures of my latest creation. I will be posting it for sale on my Etsy shop later on today. If you can't wait, email me. :)

Here is a couple of photos as an appetizer. The album has 6 chipboard pages loaded with designer papers from various brands and lots of vintage photos. I have adhered them with non permanent adhesive, so you can take them off and use your own photos if you like. It's the perfect gift for the vintage lover or for a baby girl's album. The whole slide show with all the pages of the album is at the end of my blog for you to enjoy. :)




I also finished a Christmas paperbag album that I will be listing on Etsy. Here is the front cover. We got big plans for Christmas, I will share it later on this week. :) Enjoy the photos.

Hybrid 8x8 scrapbook pages.






I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving Day. I am still in Thanksgiving mode. I am so blessed. God has been so good to us. :)

Awhile back I shared how I fell head over heels in love with digital scrapbooking. Because I love all the 3D embellishments, and layering, inking and distressing in the traditional scrapbooking, hybrid is a natural thing to me. Are you asking what is hybrid? ok, real quick. Hybrid is a mix of digital and traditional scrapbooking. You might use a digital image or graphics and then use it in traditional scrapbooking (gluing, cutting, inking, distressing with your hands scrapbooking).

anyway... the layouts above were created using graphics from kaymillerdesigns.com. I thought it would be fun to offer some of my customer 8x8 hybrid pages. I have build them to be a 3D scrapbook page using kay miller graphics. Take a look and see how easy scrapbooking can be.





These can be easily customized too. Email me if I got you thinking of all the possibilities!! LOL

I am working on 2 custom made albums and will be posting pictures this coming week. In the meantime, you can find some of my newly listed items in my Etsy shop.

Enjoy your family! :)

OPEN for business!!!



Ok, so my sacrum is really giving me a hard time. I am not even 30 weeks yet and I just can't sit still for more than an hour. The joys of pregnancy!!!

Since I am not taking any major custom orders I decided to clean up my studio. I have a lot of unfinished projects that I will be listing on my Etsy store. Everything will be ready to ship, so here is your chance to grab a vintage looking handmade one of a kind gift for yourself or a loved one. :)

There will be a couple of small BABY guest books, a little girls' vintage scrapbook, a DAD album, maybe a Christmas chipboard album, a paperbag one, cards, premade layouts and other little things. These are all projects that I began and were put on hold due to custom orders that came in. So I will be digging them up from my drawers and finishing them and giving you the opportunity to purchase one of MyTreasuredCreations.

Check out the link to my store to see the items already listed. :) Enjoy!

In the meantime, more photos of the DAD album!!
