There's A Birthday In The House!

Our daughter's Birthday is today and I created this card and gift "wrap" for her using the Cosmo Cricket Upcycle Paperline. Love it and wish I could find some more as I only have a couple of sheets left. On the card insert, I wrote sweet sentiments and gave her a coupon for 18 years of FREE Babysitting...hehehehe. They are expecting child #2 in about 5 weeks! In the gift "wrap" box will go several small items we've gotten for her.

The envelope is a new one I just designed. It's my Chubby envelope which required no explanation, I'm sure!

Sorry for the mediocre pics....I need a new camera! Have a fun day! Hugs!

Sewing Mini Album Journal

Here is another mini I made using a version of Jennibellie's spine system.  Now I can keep track of all those sewing projects I do.  Used cards and envelopes for pockets.  Organized and ready to sew!  LOVE using corrugated cardboard!

I Am Teaming Up With Stampin' Up!

After a long hard look at which direction I want to take in life, I have decided to try to expand my Mini Album Designs by joining Stampin' Up!, staying with my creative side for this New Year and seeing where that Adventure takes me. In doing that, I need to expand beyond just making Mini Albums so have spent the last couple of days sketching and making some card designs. Here are three of my cards I have actually finished! I haven't received my initial kit yet so am working with the only three sets of SU stamps I have and two of them are retired! I am waaaaay behind the times!!! I'm sure I will get better as I spend more time on doing this....I keep having this desire to add several pages to my cards! LOL! Old habits........... If any of you are with Stampin' Up!, I'd love to hear from you.

I think I will be able to link my blog to my Stampin' Up! website and you can see all the fabulous items they offer....so inspiring! I will be posting new designs on my blog as I make them so please keep checking in and letting me know what you think of them. If you would like any information about the Stampin' Up! products, please contact me and I will be glad to help! Please be honest about my designs, drop me a note at paperkitz@aol.com or leave me a comment and let me know what you think and thank you ahead of time! I finally feel like happy dancing!

Princess Katie Crown Card

This is a mini album/birthday card I designed for one of our grand daughters for her 7th birthday. Again, made from one sheet of 12" x 12" double sided cardstock. Quick and easy but a real conversation piece when displayed!
