Mojo Monday and the New "Handmade Holiday" by Simple Stories Collection. Which just screams country comfort, so I couldn't resist using one of the little snowman that I fussy cut out of one of  the journal spots/cards.

 To create this card, I used Kraft card stock 4 x 6 card base, cut the circles and scallop pieces using the Close To My Heart Cricut Art Philosophy Collection. Pattern paper is Handmade Holiday by Simple Stories, Distress ink-vintage photo by Ranger. Embellishments: twine, seam binding, button, highlighted the snowflake stickers with Gelly Roll-Glitter Clear Star Pen.

 Another creations of a 3 in One gift paper bag, card and tag...using Authentique "Enchanted" Collection.
paper lunch bag.

 The flower is handmade out of crinoline fabric, sprayed with glimmer mist: raven and graphite also the leaves with distress stain: forest moss and adhesive was Helmar 450 glue. The doilie was sprayed with raven glimmer mist as well. See the pretty sparkle trim thats the new Tim Holtz tinsel "Autumn" and the flower center was Sparkles by KaiserCraft: color Ebony black.

Simple Stories Generations Mini Album

 I just love playing with Simple Stories Generations paper line which I created this mini album, I am so excited to get my photo's printed and put in but I couldn't wait to share this little gem with all my blog friends.

 Yes that's right it's a chunky mini, I just love to embellish and create my own to fill up an album. Which using the amazing paper line from Simple Stories makes it easy they do most of the work for you, all you do is cut and paste it down...but you know me I had to ink everything, color vintage seam binding with glimmer mist and make my own 3-D items with their stickers.

                                                                    sticker turned into a 3-D

 I truly love the premade bingo card that I turned into a pocket that holds a mini mini album, I created the flowers with Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die with different materials, Dollie, and glimmer mist adorn with vintage buttons and brads....I couldn't help myself had to glimmer mist a tiny clothes pin in Coffee Shop! Love it!

 A close up-one of the flowers I created with the Generations paper, old book pages, linen fabric a little glimmer mist and brad...ONE OF A KIND~

Here is a side view of the whole mini album, I just can't stop looking at it, excited to see what my family has to say when they are flipping through it on our coffee table. Memories, chatter, simple goodness.
