I entered a challenge on YouTube held by Christy, who is twins4me2.  She had you watch a Wallet Mini Album Tutorial by Mariescrapbooking.  It is an easy mini to make and is great for gifts. I think I will make several more for Christmas gifts.

I managed to get one project done in my quest to finish seven started but yet unfinished mini albums.  This week was hard as I was in Lincoln, NE from Sunday through Thursday afternoon for work.  So there was no crafting time.

But tonight I managed to get to my craft room and get the cover and spine on this one.  The rest was done.

I used a tutorial on YouTube from Papercrafter 45. It is made with the envelope punch board and it has a scored spine, which I had never done.

Fall Milk Carton – The Cutting Cafe Design Team Project

7 Sep
Fall Milk Carton

                       Fall Milk Carton

It’s milk cartons galore for The Cutting Cafe’s Design Team this week!  We were asked to use one of three milk carton cutting files for our projects this time.  These cute cartons can be used for candy, little embellishments, jewelry, or whatever you would like to put in them.  I used the Halloween and Fall Milk Carton and I am just using it as a decoration for my desk at work for fall.

The file comes together very quickly.  If you don’t have an electronic cutting machine, you have the option of cutting by hand as the files all come in a PDF format.

Inspirational Mini Album and Tag Swap

Inspirational Tag, Mini Album, and Goodie Box

Inspirational Tag, Mini Album, and Goodie Box

I was approached by a fellow YouTuber, Tina, who is TellHimThankU on YouTube to see if I would like to do a one-on-one swap.  I agreed.  I suggested an inspirational mini album and she suggested a tag instead of a card.  We also were to swap goodies of around $10.

Below are pictures of the mini album and of the tag.  The tag was one of my Cutting Cafe projects a few weeks ago so check out my older posts for more detail.  After the pictures, I will also have both the album and the tag videos which will give you more detail.  Thanks for stopping by!

Post It Notes Box Set – The Cutting Cafe Design Team Project

7 Aug

Post It Note BoxIt is time for another project for The Cutting Cafe!  This time we had two files we could choose from, The Mini Note Pad and Card Set Printable Stamp Set or The Post It Note Box and Cover Set which I used.  The file comes with covers for the Post It Notes, a couple versions of a belly band that you can add, plus labels.  I love how it turned out.  It will make a cute little gift for someone.

Make sure you visit The Cutting Cafe Blog on the 7th and 21st of each month as our design team projects are posted those dates.  Leave a comment and you will be entered into a drawing to win three files of your choice!  Plus we love reading your comments!

I had paper in my stash that was double-sided and the color combo was a bit different so I thought I might as well pull something old out to use it.  The red with white circles used on the label on the front is the other side of the pink paisley paper.  So the inside is finished instead of just being white.

Here are a few different views…

A Visit From My Friend and Some Shabby Chic Boxes

13 May

Hello!  Last weekend my friend Tmika…Scrapdaworld on YouTube…came to visit.  It was a great weekend of shopping, crafting, and just hanging out!  Here we are before we hit the stores…

Tmika and Audrey

Of course Tmika came bearing gifts.  She made some awesome handmade embellishments and brought me animal print papers to craft with since I love animal prints!  But she also made and brought me what became our theme of the weekend…a shabby chic box and it is lovely…
