a little imagination

So I was out shopping and I saw this plastic table cloth that I really liked. I thought, that would look gorgeous as an album.

Basic Materials - always need to start somewhere :)

Table setting

Took me a long time to post, but this is part of the table setting I made for purim. We made little "pockets" for the forks, on top of that we made these cute flowers. They all co-ordinated perfectly with the colors of the plates of course...

FLOWERS!!!!

I love flowers, and I love using them in my scrapbooks. So I have seen lots of ways to make flowers using punches, but I cant afford, nor to I have the space to put so many punches. So instead I bought a new design card for my slice, Basics 2, which has TONS of flowers, I then layer them all together, curl them in different directions, and they come out gorgeous! Coming up next! Slice Party! I used my slice to set up a perfect party table!

this is one I made for a wedding album:

These I made using newspapers! and cute buttons I found, I inked the edges to make them look old:

My Slice

 

So, People have asked how I decorate my albums. The truth is, I used to by tons of stickers and other embellishments - but I never really likes how it looked at the end. About 2 years ago I bought a machine called the Slice. The IDEA of the machine is great! It cuts tons of different shapes, doesn't take up a lot of space and the design cards aren't so expensive - and each design cards cuts a lot of different shapes - not like some other die-cutting machines.
The truth is, I have had LOTS of problems with my slice, but they are sending me a fixed machine, so hopefully I wont have to complain anymore :) cant wait.
Meanwhile, I figured I would share some pages from an album I made with the help of my Slice.

the Vanity

So this is a vanity I made, its pretty small about 15x15 inch. Too big for me to put anywhere, but WAY too small to be a real vanity. I am not in love with how it came so I am auctioning it off between all the little girls I know. :)
I made this after I saw it on the paperphenomenoun blog.

Enjoy ! Bryna

little nook for a mini album
 

Bas Mitzvah Book

I am going to try to finish up some projects so I will finally have some pictures to post :) I must have at least 10 projects that are all "almost" done. Once a project is close to being done, its hard to get motivated to just finish it...bad bad...
Meanwhile, my sister in law asked me to make a binder her neice. This was a school project they had to make in honour of their Bas Mitzva (at the age of 12). It was a challenge to do in 2 days... I also decided to make a box/breifcase/holder to go with it, cause I knew it wouldn't fit in her backpack.

so here are some photo's
