Serendipity Album

Hi everyone,

What a fun day we had yesterday! I taught a group of lovely ladies this 
album I created featuring Bobunny's
Serendipity paper collection.  This paper collection is so gorgeous 
and fun to work with.  

On the cover I decorated with Serendipity Noteworthy die cuts and 
some chipboard frames.  I stamped a sentiment on the center
 and placed the floral die cut on top using 
some pop dots to give it dimension. I also used various
stamps throughout the pages of my album.



I distressed all the edges using Tim Holtz distress ink in Walnut Stain.



The colors and designs of this collection are so stunning and easy to work with.








I had such a great time teaching this class and 
I want to thank everyone who participated.  We all had a wonderful time 
making this album and I know it will hold
many beautiful memories in it. 

Thank you for stopping by, have a blessed day!

Until next time,

Ana

P.S. the binding of my album is from Kathy's patent binding system.  You can find it here

New Christmas Collections!

Hi everyone,

Did I ever mention I work at a scrapbook store? Hmm I don't think
I did! Well it's half a pharmacy and half a scrapbook
store. One of the advantages is that I get to see first 
hand all the new scrapbook products that come out each
season (I'm always on the look out).

First let me tell you that the Bobunny's "Christmas Village" collection
is beautiful!!! Love it so much, from the colors to the 
graphic designs.  I collect ceramic Christmas houses so
this collection will be perfect for all those photos I have (perfect name for this
paper collection).  You know I will be making a mini album with
these papers!!  I can't wait to start creating with it.
Click here to see the "Christmas Village" collection.

Another Christmas collection that I can't wait to see up close
is the Tim Holtz Idea-ology "Christmas/Noel"!!! Love the color combinations
and patterns.  I would love this one in 12x12 and 8x8 paper pads to create
my Christmas cards, mini albums and home decor.
The mini ephemera are too cute to pass up,
you have to see them, adorable.
Click here to see "Christmas/Noel" collection.

There are so many other companies that have come out with
beautiful Christmas collections, Simple Stories - Simple Vintage Christmas,
Prima - Santa Baby and Carta Bella - Santa's Workshop to name a few.

Anyway, let me know what collections I should have a look at, I just might
grab it up and create something beautiful with it.

Thank for stopping by, talk to you soon,

Until next time,
xoxo

I'm Back!!!

Hello!!!!

Can it really be three years since my last post? 
Wow (smh), I'm sorry that I have been MIA.  
These past years have been a bit hectic to say the least.  
Not to sound too dreadful, my family and I have survived a hurricane last year 
and now life is slowly returning to normal, in the sense of internet and cell phone service 
(sometimes we still have a few issues with that) but life has to go on.  
I got to a point that I just stopped doing what I truly love and that is creating 
scrapbooks and projects but I have realized that I shouldn't 
give up on what truly makes me happy and so here I am again.  
 I am hoping to post at least twice a month from here on out.  
I would love to hear from you guys on what you have been creating.  

Please feel free to send me a link of any YouTube videos 
you might have made showing your projects, I would love 
to see them and start following you.  

Well that's all for now, until next time!

Ana
