Throw Back Thursday: Mom Brag Books

Today's throw back projects are "Brag Books".  These are those little photo albums that you find in the Dollar Store.  They are 4 x 6 brag books... they almost look like those little calendars people used to carry around.  I altered them by covering them with my own Stampin' Up! DSP or stamping my own cover and stamped the letters. 

Technique Tuesday: Black Magic

This is probably one of the prettiest techniques I have seen.  It is definitely time consuming, but so worth it.  This stamp set is retired from Stampin' Up!, but I think this technique would work with many of the floral stamps they have for sale.  Enjoy and I hope this inspires you today!

Happy Watercolor Fold Card

This is my new obsession... I love making these fold cards.  I did not use the framelit for this.  I cut a piece of white card stock 9 1/2 x 5 1/4 and then I scored at 4 and 7.  Then I layered the piece on colored card stock.  Here I used Stampin' Up! Crisp Cantaloupe and Pool Party.

I made these cards for my swap for my INKredible Impressions Spring event last Saturday and the girls also made this card at my monthly stamping class.
