Latest Graphic 45 Mini Album Journal Old Curiosity Shoppe!

Sorry I have been silent......have had dental problems and hubby had Kidney Stones and it's just been a couple of those weeks! Things are better and I finally had a chance to upload a video today so wanted to get some non-moving photos on my Blog in case some of you get sea sick from too much video stimulation! This album has tons of pages so here are just a few of my favorites. The Diamond pocket, journaling tags and the Days of the Week round journaling cards and pocket are now on my Etsy Shop (Paperkitz) as digital downloads if anyone wants to try some. Very inexpensive...just enough to help me buy more paper and ink and pay my Etsy and PayPal fees! We all need that, don't we?! Here you go.....

If you haven't tried this paper yet, you need to! So unusual and just pure FUN to play with! Let me know what you think and if you've tried it, please and thank you! Check out my latest video to see previews of upcoming attractions, too! Be Blessed, my friends! Hugs, Kit

A QUESTION FOR BLOGGING PROS.....

I've noticed on some Blogs there is a section that shows all the other Blogs you have subscribed to and it shows the newest post from those Blogs. How do you do that? It takes me forever to find all the Blogs I want to visit each day, especially when there is a new post. Right now, I never know when you have posted something new unless I actually go to the Blog. HELP, Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese! And thank you! Kit

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!!!

Girlfriend Card

One of my Galfriends from High School is having a birthday so here is a card I made her using images I purchased from Lisas Altered Art on Etsy. My camera did not pick up the colors like I would have loved....but you get the idea...I hope! I LOVE the images I received from this Etsy Seller. I used her images in my small boxes if you saw those. The paper is from Graphic 45. I actually printed these images twice and then cut out some of the words and used Dimensionals to pop them up. Also, used "jealous green" as the base for the card...hehehehe... Hope it makes her smile!

This is the hard part choosing only 5 so I am going to work on that now and will be back to post my Top Five! Being techie challenged....this may take awhile....It took me an hour to figure out how to get the Liebster Award Button on here! Sigh.....

Teeny Tiny Inchie Boxes

I have been having more fun making these stacking triple inchie boxes! I call them Wally's Triple Inchie Boxes due to the family joke about Wally wrapping my Christmas presents in several boxes....inside each other. A small piece of jewelry looks like a small sports car by the time he is done wrapping and gets it under the tree! I am uploading the video on You Tube that gives the dimensions and shows how to cut all three of these boxes, including lids and accordion fold out strips to play with these yourselves! The video will also show you how to make the raggedy edge flowers and leaves and give you ideas for embellishing. All from only 1 sheet of 12 x 12 double sided paper! The photos shows them opened, then closed and then stacked inside each other. Makes a neat little swap or RAK project. Let me know what you think and if you are going to try them...I'd love to see yours! Hugs!

Mini Album and Inchie Boxes

I am in the process of uploading the Project 3 You Tube Video from my 52 Mini Album Journals and Such so only 49 more to go! LOL....... These are my Pop Top Box Albums. The larger ones are made from one sheet of 12 x 12 and will hold a ton of wallet size photos. Or they could be used for journaling and/or collage! The smaller ones are made from scraps and are for inchies and twinchies or whatever! Maybe diamonds?! Once you learn the basic boxes, you can make them bigger or smaller depending on your mood! EASY......and FUN! Let me hear your thoughts, please and thank you! Hugs!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!

I hope your day is filled with lots of smiles....and Chocolate would be nice, too! I was just doodlin' and using up some scraps to make my OLIVE You Flowers and thought I would share with you......hope they make you giggle! Hugs and wishes for a Happy Day!

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!

Gigi's Grandpeeps Birdhouse Mini

Here is my birdhouse mini that I showed how to make on my last You Tube Video....all decorated!  I know I said I wanted to do one with bright colors to put pics of the Grandbabies in, but after doing the video, I LOVED the Glitz Paper I used and knew I didn't want to give it away.  A sure way for me to keep something is.....Put Pics of the Babes In It!  Thought it might give you some ideas on what to do with yours.  Remember, you can make around SIX of these base albums in an hour so get Crackin'!  Use up that extra paper!LOL....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!

Margaret's Birdhouse

I was thinking about what to take as a gift to a party for a friend of ours that was turning 60.  She loves country and birdhouses and I don't really do county designs....vintage and primitive, yes, but not really classic country.  I decided to go for an eclectic country combining some of my vintage with cheerful colors revolving around a more bright blue instead of country blue.  The corrugated card was just the thing to tie it all together, I do believe!  And she loved it!  Here are some photos so you can judge if you think she really liked it or was just being nice!  To see the full journey in creating this mini album journal, please check out my You Tube Video that I will hopefully have uploaded by tomorrow!
