Transparent
I thought of the design for today’s card during my recent reorganization. I’ve had these small, patterned transparencies for a while and thought they’d make a great front for a card. Since the front of the card is clear, I wanted to make the inside ready for a picture. I also decided to hide a … Continue reading
TV Frame
I made this hot pink card the other day and decided to use it today. I just finished organizing my new sticker/die cut notebook and decided to flip through it to see what I could find. I found this brightly colored TV die cut that matched the pink nicely. I was figuring out what to … Continue reading
Organization
Today’s post was recommended by my husband. My creative process is very organic as I’ve said before, but my supplies are all in a single rolling scrapbook bag. The only way I can have both is by being highly organized. The most important thing is having the right supplies. My bag is a Crop in … Continue reading
Lego Time Cards
Today’s Handmade by Shay is definitely a step away from the norm. Lately, I’ve been keeping track of how I spend my time. My husband came up with a great way of doing this for his business.

Congratulations
Sometimes people don’t get enough credit. If there’s someone you know who just had something good happen, celebrate with them! Here’s a card to help you do just that.

I took a piece of neutral colored cardstock that was ready, scored it, and folded it. I then took nine different papers as recommended and cut them into 1″ by … Continue reading
Mini Album
Today has been pretty crazy so I decided to go back to one of my older SEI kits and do another project from it. I pulled out the Spring 2010 “In the treetops” collection. I had made all the cards so I decided to make the mini album. The kit refers to the album as … Continue reading
Altered Book
Today’s Handmade by Shay is really handmade by Rachel. I bought a comp book for my little sister-in-law and promised to help her make it over. We finally got some time to do that together. I had created an altered book at my first scrapbooking convention back in ’07 and still had the sketches for … Continue reading
Happy…Day
Here’s a card for those of you who may not celebrate valentine’s day or want to celebrate every day. It’s pretty rough since I designed it on the fly. I made a Spirograph background in three shades of blue on blue cardstock. I used an American Girl stencil for the lettering and vellum for the … Continue reading
