Accordion Album

I made my first accordion album. I know this is a last year’s trend but I just learned about it now. This one is of Craig and me first year anniversary. We went back to Reagan Beach and ate stale cake and reminisced. I like the album but I do not like that I could only add four square pictures.
This album was fairly easy to make. Its three 8X8 sheets that are each folded in fours then one diagonal line. Then the trick is in the folding. There are many YouTube tutorials online, just  key in accordion albums on youtube.com.

Hope you enjoy.

I am back with Santa!

Well for those of you who read this blog I took a bit of time off from crafting. Whenever I do this I get the urge to craft and it allows me to concentrate. After hours of playing with SCAL2 I designed my own bag. I didn't know how to decorate it, but then I remembered someone making a Santa bag (Thanks for inspiration people!). I decided to make my own. I cut the bag out 12X6 and after I scored it, decorated it, and glued it the box is 3.5X2X4. The strap is 9in. long and the scallop circle (cut out with a hole punch) is 2in. As you can see, Santas face is missing. The idea is to use white tissue paper so that it represents his beard. If you are interested in more information on this box, or would like one please post me a message here or on my facebook http://www.facebook.com/#!/vhallgren1
Thank you for reading and have a great day

A boy card using robotz

If I ever have a little son I would make him an invitation like this one. I used the Robotz cart. I do not really like using this cart because it has way too many parts, but it would be worth it for a cool robot party. I hope you guys enjoy this card.

Concept card

I made this card because I was looking for a gift card holder. The bag is from Plantin School book cart. The banner I made from SCAL2 but was inspired by creativetimeforme.com creator Emma, she sells the amazing dies and stamps sets. I used my Gypsy to create the window and the bag. Hope you like it. Have a great day :D
