Envelope Explosion Mini Album

Hello there!  I've got a cute envelope explosion mini album to share with you today.  I found the instructions for this cute mini on Utube May May Make it Crafts.  I've created this to send to my mom and dad.  The kids and I spent a week with them this summer.  We had a fun time playing all kinds of board games, croquet, and swimming.  I don't have the photos printed out yet but wanted to share this fun mini anyway :-)  It's made from 3 envelopes as the base. 

All closed up.

 

Flaps open.

 

Both sides opened.

 

Completely opened.

 

Isn't this fun??!!!  And you could make it big like I did or smaller.

 

This was so fun to make.  And it went together pretty fast.

2 Crafty Girls #6: Bokeh effect

Hello there!  It's mid-month and over on the 2 Crafty Girls blog, we have a fun challenge going on :-)  You can use the inspiration board and use either the photo, sketch, or create a bokeh effect.  Our wonderful sponsor is The Memory Nest Store. 

I decided to give the bokeh effect technique a try.  I watched a few videos on utube and got to work.   I gotta say it was a lot of fun :-)  I love how it turned out. 

I recently went through my craft room and organized and de-stashed.  Wow, what a job.  But, the best part is I found this really cool reindeer stamp.  I forgot I had it.  So, I knew right away he was going on this card :-)  Love him!

Recipe:
Tim Holtz Distress inks - Iced Spruce, Evergreen Bough, Festive Berries
Plantin Schoolbook Cricut cart - circles @1/2, 3/4, 1"
acetate sheet (to create my stencil w/circles)
white pigment ink
Unity stamp -All is Calm, All is Bright
