Printer's Drawer Upcycle

Ah....being off work is wonderful...I get so much done...today I worked on an old printers drawer I purchased last weekend at a yard sale for $5.00...such a deal...after much pinteresting...I decided to fill it with family pics and a few embellies...especially after my daughter noticed that for how many pictures I take and being a scrapbooker and all...there are no pics of us on the walls of our home...GASP!!!!!!! How could this happen...well...I guess I haven't hung any up since we moved...but this will make her happy!!! I used various scraps of paper, some chipboard, wood letters, flowers, metal letters and a diecut to complete the project...hope you like it!

 I love how it fits perfectly in this little nook in our hallway, and although it is now on an existing shelf, I think I will have hubby hang it up

House Warming Card

Made this card for my husbands neice...who just bought her first house. The card base is from Wild Card...the fence is from Picturesque...flowers from a variety of carts including Forever Young, vine is from Home Decor, or maybe Home Accents, mailbox is from Wild Card. I made the envelope just out of a scrap piece of paper and the bird is from Serenade...the white trim under the roofline is a Martha Stewart Punch. It is a whopping 10 1/2" tall, and so I had to make my own envelope...the inside has another fence that is attached at the sides and bottom, so a gift card to a local home decor store can be inserted as a house warming gift.

Chipboard Album - Tennessee Vacation

This was such an exciting project for me to do. It is a 6 x 12 chipboard album, made from 12 x12 sheets of chipboard. I cut them in half on my trimmer, then covered in patterned paper, and then rounded all the corners. Since I had planned on doing a full page album, I had all my pics printed in 4x6 and wanted to use them all, so I had to come up with ways to conceal pictures in the album...and so it became an interactive book. The file folders you see on various pages were welded in design studio and flip down to show more pics. I used a variety of cartridges in this project too, but mostly Graphically Speaking...looooooooooove this cartridge. The go karts were made in design studio as well, as I didn't have a cut that really resembled a go kart. I apologize for so many pictures, but I am thrilled with the outcome and wanted to share the whole project with you all. Thanks for looking
