My Own Felt Flurry

I made my own felt flurry! Just used a piece of white felt in the Big Shot with the Snowflake die and WOW did it turn out great! I wanted it for the front of this DVD tin album that I made for my best friend for Christmas. The paper is from a pack I bought ages ago. I just love how this turned out. If you are thinking about getting the Big Shot but aren't sure...just buy it! It is the greatest. You won't regret it!

Snowman Tin

So, I made another DVD tin. Well, a couple actually. I made one for my daughter's teacher for Christmas. They are spending Christmas in Phoenix so I made one that they can use for pictures of their trip. I just made this one because I love the paper. It is inexpensive paper from a pack of xmas paper I bought a couple years back that has sat untouched pretty much since I bought it! I really have to use up some of my supplies! Anyway, I love how it turned out - might just have to keep it for myself!

DVD Tin

I have a whole pile of these DVD tins so I decided I would make some albums with them and use the for Christmas gifts and to sell. Here is the first one I did. I just used some paper from Costco that I really like. I am pleased with how the cover turned out as I was stumped for a while. I just put in 4 silver brads and then had the idea to put the linen thread around them. I wanted to use some on the front to tie it in with the thread inside.

DVD tin Album

This project was a featured tutorial last week on Splitcoast Stampers. (I think it was last week; maybe it was this week!) I had started a photo album of my kids for my mother in law and when I saw this project I moved the pics into this instead. This uses the clear envelopes sold by Stampin' Up. It's a really easy project and would make a great gift with or without photos included!

DVD tin Notepad

This is one of the DVD tin projects I have been working on. I am pretty happy with how it turned out. I love the colours! I used my little calendar stamp on post-it notes. The beads from the pen came from my local dollar store (Dollarama). They have several colours...of course I bought them all...but at 2 for $1 how can you go wrong? There are enough beads to make at least 6 pens I would say. The notepad is one from Wal-Mart. It's 5x8 but they need to be 5x7. I just cut it down myself (which was done in stages because it's so thick) but I will be taking my other ones to Staples to see if they will cut them down for me. Next time I will just buy the pads at Staples! I am in the middle of a massive craft clean up. I cannot wait for my new crafting studio! (Still a long way off...like about 8 months!) I am trying to get somewhat organized so that when it's time to move it will be easier to pack. We are *hoping* that the house will be started next week. I am so anxious for that hole in the ground! Not sure how much stamping I will do tonight as it's "meet the teacher night" at school.
