Thanks for looking.

Ooooh, look ... it's thick stickers!

My most recent article for Craft Critique is for American Crafts Thickers; those awesome thick stickers. What's not to love about these?

• easy to use
• great colors, textures and fonts
• no mess

I could go on ... this is such a wonderful product, oh, and the price. Very reasonable especially if you catch them on sale like I do. I usually buy a ton of them when Hobby Lobby has them at 50% off.

So I made a batch of cards to compliment my article. Love the simple-ness of this "Hi" card.

Thanks for looking ... here's what I used:
card base: Joann
patterned paper: Die Cuts With a View (DCWV)
bling: Darice
ribbon: Martha Stewart
oval die cut: KI Memories
letter stickers: American Crafts Cream Soda Foam Thickers

The Making of a Mini Book

I got started on this mini book late last week. Well, actually, the week before. I'd been on Donna Downey's blog and she posted a video about making album pages using newspaper. So I got out the old newspapers and my glue stick and started on the pages. After tearing and gluing and inking up my fingers something awful, I had about six pages. I let them dry and then I used one layer of acrylic paint and I let that dry. That's when I took a break.

What to do w/these messy pages ... I finally jotted down some items that I could include in an "All About Me" album. I've been wanting to make more mini books ... why not now?

Well, I've made much progress, but it's an interesting process for me. The very reason why I like to make cards - I feel that I can do nothing else until this album is complete. Bummer for me especially since I had to order a wallet-sized picture of my Jeep; that would be a 'special' order ... maybe it will arrive in the mail tomorrow.

Meanwhile ... here's a look at the cover. Love this. Oh another thing, I decided that I would only use scraps and other embellishments that were laying around and/or had never been used before. I like the collage/eclectic look too.
