A New Year!! Time to begin the posts

My first creation of the new year! One of my dear friends has a birthday fast approaching, so I took the opportunity to play along in My Favorite Things guest design team challenge. Who could resist with all the new goodies I recieved at Christmas!! I started with the main image in "Girls Night Out" by MFT. I used my new embossing folder to emboss my shimmery white paper before using my nestie label die (also new). I paper pieced and matted with my (yes new) Love Nest paper by My Mind's Eye. MFT crystals, a frame out of SU's Hodge Podge hardware, button treatment and some eyelets finished it off! The reds were perfect for my friend; she loves all things red.

I'm still getting used to this blogging thing. It's a miracle I figured out how to add a photo!

I wanted to make my very first chipboard album. I have a Bind-It-All, so I might as well use it! I created this 4x6 black and creme album to hold photos from my wedding. This will be mailed off to my aunt very soon. I used designer paper from a DCWV stack called La Creme. There are so many amazing prints in this stack!

One of these days I'll remember to take photos when it's light outside. I haven't quite mastered the art of capturing my work in photos.

I'm already up past my "bedtime" - I guess it's time to say goodnight!
