Crate Paper Anniversary Album

Using the fabulous Crate Paper Confetti collection by Maggie Holmes (@MaggieHDesign), I put together a gift album for my husband to celebrate our anniversary. He loves my albums to be in his office and look at our life blessed by God! It has been 38 loving years with this wonderful man!!! Crazy, fun and a wonderful ride! I even put our pic of us on a ride at Disney just because I thought it was symbolic of what life brings you! Truly a blessing to ride this life as I know it with him by my side! Thank you Jesus!
Album details: Confetti Collection by Crate Paper chipboard stickers, all double sided papers, American Craft Celebrate Phrases Thickers, and more stickers. A loved how they all looked with the Prima Marketing album designed by Donna Downey. I received these older items from someone else and was grateful to have, since it matched the theme of what I was needing. Hope you enjoy the pages I have included. There is more but I thought this was photo heavy as it was!!! Enjoy!

Happy 23rd Birthday Julie Nutting Card

                 

                                       
Am way ahead of someone's birthday, but the gift has already been given and am going to send this on to her anyway!!! LOVE lavishing gifts and especially since she is making kind of expensive purchases. Well anyway, am so excited that this is @KathyRac's month of #thedailymarker30day challenge and I am posting every day on my Instagram account. Go here under @jordanbev5 and please follow me. If you aren't on yet...I highly recommend that you get an IG account of your own due to the flood of inspiration at your fingertips and so much faster to post and read and even watch short videos!! But please make sure to tell me YOUR account so I can follow you and see your pictures too!
 The background paper is in black and white with words for Birthday cheer, like Hip Hip Hooray and Happy Birthday from Echo Park's Party Time in a 6x6 pad. The bottom sheet of multicolored candles is also from the same. The beautiful frilly frame is designed by Becca Feeken from Amazing Paper Grace's Chantilly Paper Lace Collection called Tallulah Frill from Spellbinders. Isn't it so pretty!!! I die cut it out of Lemon Yellow Bazzill Cardstock with my Platinum 6 machine. I hand cut the papers to size and then began arranging all the pieces. To help the numbers stand out, I die cut an oval from Spellbinders Pierced Ovals in the smallest size and then added the "23" from Thickers red foil set.
  The little girl is from Prima Marketing Inc, Julie Nutting stamp set appropriately called, Party Girl! I colored her with Sketch Copic Markers: R00, R20, R22, E000, E21, YR24, YR31, Y17, Y21. I fussy cut her out and added dimensional glue to the back to pop her up. The oval was also popped up as well. I still needed something more and grabbed some May Arts silk ribbon in lemon yellow. LOVE ribbons and have this in two shades of yellow!!! I really love seam binding and silk to add a soft billowy bow to a card don't you?
 A sentiment was added inside to finish it off and viola', a beautiful girly card to send out! I must say, I think I send her all Julie Nutting dolls for her birthdays because it seems so appropriate! The frillier the better too!!

Lovely Layout

Today's post is of a portrait photo using the American Crafts Hazelwood collection. I used Hazelwood One Canoe Two paper and fussy cut for just the right amount of flowers and leaves to match up with the picture.  The "Lovely" title is one of the chipboard elements, and the mat is a patterned paper of the collection, as well. I will eventually make the second layout to match, using the rest of the flower page, and the other photos. Just thought this was so lovely, I would post it as a stand alone. Enjoy!!
