An album JustRite

Isn't this cute? This is a coaster foldout album. I got the directions here. I made one of these before and just love how this came out. I used more pictures that I had left over from my sister's wedding. The paper and ribbon is from CTMH. The stamps are from JustRite. This was another entry in last month's contest. If you are wondering what to do with leftover pictures, mini albums like this one are a great way to use them up! Enjoy.

For Mother's Day, I also made my mom a little coaster book. The directions for this can be found on Nichole Heady's website.

This is the cover of my book. I used 4/4 coasters and instead of trimming and sanding the corners - just use your corner punch on the papers and it will make a nice rounded corner that matches up with the coasters. The flowers is from K and Company and the papers I used are from Scenic Route.

The ribbon is SU and the Happy Mother's Day sentiment is also SU. The numbers are from a CTMH alphabet set - I think The Works is what it's called.

When the ribbon is untied, you can see that each side is a little accordian book.

Here is one side of the accordian pages with pictures of my cutie pie. This is the cutest project, VERY easy to do. The directions are super simple to follow and the end results are fabulous. Sometimes when I follow tutorials or projects online, they NEVER come out looking as good as the project I saw online but this one did!

I don't have a lot to share. My husband and I went to Morton's steak house yesterday and so I was so full yesterday I just wanted to lay down. I am trying to continue with the SU items that I made in a stamp camp.

The band comes off and then the card opens to reveal the sentiment. A fairly simple card. I tried to do my CTMH version but I found that I actually don't have any graduation stamps. I guess I need to buy some.

I used the Colors of Spring paperpack and the It's Your Birthday stamp set by CTMH. I colored in the image using my Sakura pens. I wanted to emboss like in the graduation example, however whenever I have time to create, it's usually when my baby is sleeping.

Father's Day

I know Father's Day was last Sunday but I ended up making my dad a matching bag to go along with his card. I used the Laid Back paper pack from CTMH and the Hang Ten stamp set. It's nothing fancy but it sure looked cute!

I made my husband the Life Delights Memory Showcase accordian album. It was the special of month for May with CTMH. I used pictures of my husband and myself and his kids and our baby. He didn't want me to spend any money on him for Father's Day so I made this album. He absolutely loved it. It was so easy to make. The hardest part was finding the pictures. I really liked how it came out. The album comes with all of the papers and the embellishments to make this album. It also has an instruction sheet. I saw online that someone had made one and used the paper to make pockets and also added a wonderful foldout piece with more pictures.

I wish that I had seen that before. They were really cute ideas but it was hard enough finding these pictures let along more pictures!

I hope that you enjoyed these ideas!
