digi fun

a page i did tonight with the new digi kits from rhonna designs


great digi products and great inspiration!

a small baby shower i put together for a expecting mama at our church...i love love love how the raindrops turned out on the umbrella!

sew paper!

so i made 3 of these albums in a week! they are addictive!
there are pages and pockets,and ribbon trim, oh my! they were so fun to put together.
i picked paper and sewed them right sides out along the top and bottom, folded them, in half and then opened it and zig zag stitched up the center...and tada, a book!
i made pages that pulled out if the pockets for hidden journaling or more pictures.
this one is from a baby belly session i did, and then i left half the book empty for them to add pictures of the new baby!
i used anna griffin paper and embellishments, house of 3 papers and some other random pretty things in my stash, and lots of ribbon!
the other two i made were a baby book one that was completely blank and a wedding gift one for documenting a couples first year!

canvas fun!

you may have heard of christy tomlinson well she is a mixed media artist, and she makes some amazing art! taking some inspiration from her "she art" i have made 2 of my own. one for me of a preggers she for myself when i was pregnant this last time and this one i made for a friend of mine who has a baby belly right now.
so i think it turned out pretty cute...
