Wedding Layout


Yes, I have been married 15 years and YES I just put together our wedding pictures! Better late then never, right?




Brian received a watch from my husband to remember the
day we became a family.  He has since adopted Brian and
is the best father in the world.




We had alot of receipts and documents we put together for our wedding; we even had a sweet, sweet letter from my 90 year old grandmother offering her advice, so I made these pockets to include the documents with the photos.  I cut a 12 x 12 sheet of white paper diagonally and attached with my ATG 714, inked the edges and decorated.

Altered Box

Here's an experiment!  I mosaic-ed this wooden box with paper - it was lots of work but came out pretty cute - BUT it was a lot of work!

Paper Bag Album



Made for the GIBBS 2 swap that I am currently in - a paper bag album - this was a really fun project - made with brown paper bags.  It turned into a wonderful photo album with spaces for those ever so special pictures.

My partner has two daughters and I made something for pictures of her daughters.  The tags slip into the paper bags.  I also included some poems about daughters.

Halloween Hanging

I don't know if the pictures will show how cute this is - I absolutely love it.  Little rows of paper make slots for the cute little tags.  You could also make little mats for pictures and tuck them into the rows.

Altered Rubik's Cube

In the GIBBS 2 swap on the Cricut MB, there is a phrase "Road Trip" for which we were supposed to make an item for our partner.  I copied some maps on cardstock, and glued them in 3/4" squares on the Rubik's cube -- I think it's kinda cute.

Tri-Fold Card

My first tri-fold card - I love these cards - they are so cute, and actually very easy to make.
