Spring is in the Air!

Hello-Darlene here!

Yes! Spring is finally in the air. With Easter around the corner I decided to make a mini album for a friend of mine. These make great gifts for family and especially grandparents. 

Here are some of the K & Co. products I used which were generously donated by EK Success.

There are pockets at each end of the mini album to tuck away some more pictures or journaling cards. On the large chipboard stickers I dusted the backs with some baby powder then adhered 3D foam squares along the edge of the chipboard so a photo could still be tucked behind it.

Here is the cover of the mini album-perhaps it would look cute with some ribbon tied around it to keep it closed.

You Make Me :)

Hey there Everyone! 

HAPPY SPRING!  This is Anna from St@mpAnna Designs.  I am here to share with you a card I made.  I thought this card was fitting for SPRING because of the Rainbow in the background.

 I used a white cardstock base.  Then some watercolor paper that I used my Distress inks on to give them the watercolor rainbow in the background. 

I cut from my silhouette the chevron design and adhered it on top of the watercolor paper.

I stamped my sentiment on white cardstock and cut it out and glued to the front of my card.  The little butterfly is from a Martha Stewart Punch.   

Thank you so much for stopping by today.  Be sure to stop by my blog at www.stampanna.com
