Modern Mini Accordian Scrapook Album/Tree Decoration

2010-11-08T08:11:00.042-07:00

Last year I started a new family Christmas tradition for each of my boys. I usually buy them an ornament for the tree but to change it up I made them each a mini album ornament. You can see last years ornament here.

So this year, in keeping with tradition, I designed another ornament/album for my guys and will also be selling DIY ornament/album kits on my etsy shop. Here are some sample photos. The kit will include wire word hanger and heart charm. There is room for up to 10 photos. In my sample there are 9 spots for photos as the accordian has been glued to the box, but there are endless possibilities I have left the back of the accordian blank so I can journal on it. Box measures 2 3/8" x 2 3/8" (6 cm x 6 cm). After the box is cut it is embossed to give texture and dimention. (Mostly because I love the look of embossed paper)

Inside the box the accordian mini album total length measures 11 1/4 x 2 1/2" (28.5 cm x 5.8 cm) Each square of the accordian is 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" (5.8 cm x 5.8 cm).

I have left the back blank for journaling.

Heart charm attached

Kit will include:

1 die cut box cut from embossed sage green cardstock with gromets added for strength

1 pre scored accordian strip 11 1/4 x 2 1/2" (28.5 cm x 5.8 cm) Each square of the accordian is 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" (5.8 cm x 5.8 cm).

4 each of die cut butterflies and hearts in various coordinating colours

4 die cut white mini tags

2 die cut parenthesis shaped journaling tags on paper featuring birds on a wire

6 blue self adhesive rhinestones

12" (30 cm ) length each of blue satin and blue grossgrain ribbon
24" (60 cm) length of white cotton thread
4 3" x 3" (7.5 cm x 7.5 cm) squares of various coordinating papers.

Shop For Breast Cancer Fund Raiser

Every year my cousin gathers together a bunch of shopping deprived ladies, puts them on a bus from Fort McMurray to Edmonton, then sets them free at West Edmonton Mall to shop their hearts out.

On the four hour bus ride from Fort Mac. they hold raffles, give aways, play games and other fun stuff (i wish I could be on the bus with them :) All of the proceeds are donated for breast cancer research.

This year I have donated a necklace. Here are a couple photos:

Care of Silver Wire Jewellery

2010-08-31T21:54:00.009-06:00

The sterling silver wire jewellery pieces I design are always hammered to strengthen the wire then tumbled adding additional strength and brilliant lustre.

I hope you enjoy your piece for many years to come.

Here are some valuable jewellery care tips:

Wearing your jewellery will help prevent tarnish!
Over time oxidation reactions from sulfur and oxygen can occur causing silver to become tarnished. Wearing your jewellery will slow the oxidation process and keep your silver gleaming.

Store silver correctly to minimize tarnish and scratches.
To keep your jewellery looking its best, store it in a plastic bag to prevent tarnishing and scratches. Consider a jewellery box specifically designed with a 'tarnish-free' material lining to keep your silver sparkling and brilliant.

Alternatively anti tarnish paper strips can be cut and placed inside your jewellery box or in the individual plastic storage bag with your jewellery. You may find these strips at your local craft and jewellery stores.

Use a polishing cloth
One of the best, methods to clean your silver jewellery is with a professional jewellery polishing cloth. Cleaning your jewellery after wearing and before placing in it's plastic storage bag will remove any oil residue or fine dust particles and will keep it looking pristine.

Visit a jeweller
Once a year or when needed take your silver for a polish to your local jeweller.

Things to avoid:
- Mineral spas - silver jewellery will turn black.
- Jewellery 'Dip' solutions or commercial cleaning solutions even though it may claim to be safe for silver. It will work the first few times, but after that the silver jewellery may turn colour and never look the same.
- Toothpast, it is abrasive and will scratch the silver

Treasury!!

2010-08-31T00:37:00.004-06:00

Strawberry Jam Anyone?

2010-08-24T22:32:00.008-06:00

Last year I spent a couple of days with two fav aunties (you know who you are) pickling baby carrots on the farm. Not only were they absolutely delish, but I took home some fantastic memories of days well spent. I usually get a jar or two from one of them, so I decided that I should really learn about this process and what better way than hands on. The only thing I didn't do was actually dig the carrots out of the earth, my Uncle did that (thanks Uncle).

As a thank you to my Aunties I made them each a card and some Jar tags. They loved them so much that I thought I should make some for my shop this year. This time for Strawberry Jam too!

Teacher Appreciation Gift #1

2010-06-13T08:15:00.019-06:00

Here is an embellished dollar store organizer/stationary box (love that store) that I cased from this blog: http://eighteen25.blogspot.com/2010/04/box-of-teacher-goodies.html

Incorporated one of my wire words into the design.

Tied a piece of upcycled blue jean denim to the handle (simple).

Closer shot of the wire word.

even closer.... LOL!

Being able to see where I glued the paper to the cover, I had to try and make it look better so also embellished the inside of the lid. My Saturday morning project is beginning to take a lot longer... but I like how it turned out. LOL!

Full view and notice that I lined the bottom of each space too, see, again... way more time than expected...

bent some paperclips into hearts and even altered the plain sticky notes... (seriously gettin way too carried away now!)

Made these the prior Saturday...

All wrapped up.

Mother's Day Shadow Box Gifts

2010-05-12T23:02:00.006-06:00

Grandma always loves photos of her grandsons. I had this shadow box frame in a stash of supplies I need to use up.... Then added a bit of detail with a wire word hanger and button covered thumbtack. I wasn't sure what to do with the frame as far as painting it or covering it with paper.... once I added the layout inside of the frame I decided it looked fine in it's natural wood state. A few buttons to tie in with the tack added just the right finishing touch.

Entry #14 - match book brag album

2009-10-15T11:23:00.008-06:00

Match book mini "brag" book album for my Aunt who just became a grandma for the first time!! sorry about the sideways picture, couldn't get the picture to load properly...
Looking down from the top - envelopes form the pockets. (love the dollar store!)

the inside....

each card has a spot for a picture on one side (I used double sided tape) a place for notes on the back of each card.

Entry #12 - Mini origami fold album for Dad

2009-09-22T14:23:00.010-06:00

Dad headed back for Thailand - I put this book together for him in about 4 hours which is amazing for me. I have only created about 4 four scrapbook pages during my entire scrapbooking career most of my layout ideas are in my head. For this book, I purchased a Martha Stewart extra large (I think 24" x 24") sheet of paper - chocolate brown - from Michael's for $3.00. I am happy with how it turned out. I journalled in White pen in the blank spaces. A couple more hours would have made a huge difference, but deadlines.... haha!!

These are the inserts: We each wrote a message to Grandpa on one

Entry #4

2009-07-07T20:44:00.000-06:00

Here are a couple of spinner cards I made.... (My new favorite thing to make - for now).

I made this birthday card for my Aunt... the adorable little bird stamp I bought here for $1.00 it's so cute. The little bird spins and rolls all the way through the opening.

I made this card for my cousin's 15th wedding anniversary. The little hippo was so cute, just couldn't pass it up. It spins and rolls across the opening like the bird in the above card.
