Oh, Look, It's Another Mini Book ... really

Here is my latest mini book. This time the Hero Arts Blog is the enabler. Lisa posted a super simple and short video w/the instructions to create the book using just an 8.5x11 piece of paper.

I have slots to include some info - some affirmations. Though I have not completed that section yet. Also, I used the computer to make all of the sayings:

• make smiles via snail mail
• wild abandon
• give more hugs
• happiness has no price tag
• wonder out loud
• love, love, love
  

I'm using the SIS TV widget for viewing ... nice.




Thanks for looking ... here's and abbreviated list of what I used:
cardstock: craft supply
patterned paper: Junkitz
rick rack: Creative Imaginations
expoxys: Making Memories
buttons: Dress It Up!
twine and star: Darice
letter stickers, chipboard and ribbon: American Crafts
floss: DMC
labels (digital): Little Dreamer Designs/Michelle Coleman
font: A Bite (love that grungy look)

This was fun!

A Bright Hello

This card was made with Junkitz paper. I like using the foam stamps w/the acrylic paint. And how simple was this ...?

Giving myself credit

So, I hosted my first card making class on yesterday. I had seven attendees. I had a total of ten kits available and the other three sold as well. Good stuff.

It mostly went well. A couple of people say they had missing letters that I had already cut out, but every time, I either located them in the envelope or the letters had fallen on the floor. I compiled the kits with such meticulousness it is crazy. Overall, not bad. Oh and one more thing, I was supposed to make a bookmark, but failed to have one - big oops. Thing is, the night before when I was done with the kits, I almost decided to make some tags ...

So here is what is next ... another class "It's All About Gratitude." That is a little more than a week away. But I had wanted to beg off because I have been swamped and my schedule is tight. I could not figure out when I would have time to make the cards for the class, let alone the kits. It was not until I arrived @ the store yesterday and it was listed on the calendar, that I knew that I had to get together. So I made great haste today and pulled together four cards (no bookmark).

I like this one a lot ... enjoy, radiogirl
