Ladies Diary Album

Another album I've finished using Graphic 45 papers, envelopes and note cards. Another tutorial in my Etsy Shop if you find it interesting.

My Big Flippin Folder Album

Here is an album I have finished using Graphic 45 papers.  I love these big albums and the tutorial is available in my Etsy shop.  Hope this makes you smile!

Baby Sweet Baby

I just finished this project and it is the first time I have made anything like this. This is for a friend who just became a great grandmother so I wanted to do something fun and vintage looking. I wanted an album that would be easy for her to use and would already look time-worn and loved. Click on the pics to see full photo as I still am struggling with adding to my blog from my phone. The covers are made from cardboard and all pages measure 12' x 12'. In between each interior page, I have added a gold embossed vellum page to give even more display space. I am happy with all the vintage elements I found to use and it has tons of quirky journaling cards to add "The Story." Now back to mini albums!

October Afternoon Sasparilla Baby Boy Album

Here is an album I just finished and mailed off to one of my best friends daughter in celebration of her new baby boy. If you would like to see all the pages, it is on my You Tube. Paperkitz is my Channel. A special little boy that arrived healthy and happy due to lots of prayers and love...Welcome to our World, Colton!!!

Tags, Pockets and Envelope!

Project Two of my 52 Mini Album Journals and Such is making three tags, pockets and an envelope from only 1 sheet of 12 x 12 double sided paper. The two You Tube videos (Part A and Part B) are uploading now so if you like, please go watch how to make them. (Search Paperkitz) The reason there are so many in the photo is because I had to start over THREE times.....me and the video camera were having fightin' words! It is supposed to video for an hour. Mine seems to want to take naps and go for a coffee break when ever the mood hits it so I am yakking away, cutting my paper and having a good old time and I look up and the light is off. I seem to have been visiting with MYSELF for the last 10 minutes! Anyway, these are some different designs and instead of having to run to the shop to buy some....make them yourself out of your left over papers! Hope you have fun!

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!

What I've Done With My Christmas Cards....

I am one of those who sufferes from CCG.  I've had it for years and just can't seem to overcome it.  Maybe some of you have it, too?  Yes, I have CHRISTMAS CARD GUILT!  That's right....I CAN'T throw them away....it just doesn't seem right.  Every year they sit piled on a corner of my desk while I await a brilliant inspiration to come over me.  Last year.....no ideas.  I even went so far as to add the 2010 cards UNDER the 2011 cards we started to receive!  Sad, isn't it.  Makes us look real popular, though!  Christmas Cards halfway up to the ceiling!  LOL!  Our of the blue, I ran across this video on You Tube by Jennibellie and all my problems were solved!!  Here are photos of the album I made using my Christmas Cards and the binding tutorial from Jennibellie.  I also did a You Tube Video telling more about the album, so please visit me there, too.  I had to do a Part 1 and Part 2 since I can't seem to STOP TALKING!!!

Graphic 45 Mini Album Journal!!!!

Just finished this last Friday and love the way it turned out! I used the Strathmore Drawing Pad as the book base but instead of using scrap papers like I've done in the past, I used the Graphic 45 Tropical Travelogue Paper Collection. I LOVE THE COLORS!!!!! Every page in this book makes me smile. Maybe I'm just nuts, but at least I am a happy one..... hehehehe.

There are 21 pages in this book which would mean 42 photos so to see them all, please go to You Tube and you can see the WHOLE thing on my video. This is the link, I think... http://youtu.be/7RmW8rjp8r0

I will try and put a You Tube Link on here somewhere....ANOTHER new thingy! Sigh.....

Or just do a search for Paperkitz on You Tube!!! That would probably be your best bet until further notice...(HUGS!!!)

Beachy Vintage Steampunky Wedding Album and Journal

Finally!! I got back into my Blog! Just wanted to upload these pics of an album I just finished and a journal using all the left over bits and bobs. Some friends of ours from Seattle are getting married on the beach so thought I would go for something very informal and fun! Not your average Wedding Album. I also added a bunch of vintage photos to show them where they could put their own photos.
