Christmas Mini Album

One last project to wrap up the week and also the current challenge at Pink by Design. Today the team is sharing projects that are anything but a card. I knew there wouldn't be enough time to make a December Daily album this year (and honestly my one from last year isn't even completely finished) but we still need some kind of album to commemorate this Christmas. It will probably just be shots and journaling from Christmas morning and that's okay. This month is flying by way to fast and our tree isn't even up yet!

The outside sleeve is a mix of patterned papers from Echo Park and stamped and/or inked die-cut triangles. They are all glued onto a backing paper. I am so in love with this random combo of colors! They came from a page in 'Olive the Other Reindeer." Children's books are such a great source of color inspiration.

I used What's Your Number to stamp the 25 and on the background - Houndstooth Background and Fresh Goodies.  Some of the pennants are just inked and blended with Colorbox Pigment Ink and then spritzed with spray ink.

The inside pages are all ready for pictures and text. I glued more patterned paper down to an accordion folded album.

Linking up to these challenges:
Moxie Fab World - Keen On Neon
Two Peas In A Bucket - Echo Park Project Challenge

And that's all for me today. You have until tomorrow to link up for a chance to win a $10 GC to the Pink by Design store. Good luck and have a fantastic weekend!

World Card Making Day!

Hello and happy world card making day! It's been pretty busy around our house with a new little boy babe these past couple weeks so I probably won't have a chance to craft along with you all today but I do have a card to share and some good stuff to give away too so keep reading!

This is a card I made one night after reading the kids In the Night Kitchen by Maurice Sendak before bed. After they finished giggling about the naked boy in the story and settled in, I snuck off and put together this card inspired by the image on the very last page. It kind of has a 70's vibe, do you think? My great grandma used to have a bunch of these odd sized cards with funky images on the front from that era. Plus the sun rays kind of look like an afro :)

Okay so onto the giveaway, but first to support a couple company's that I love....

Post your cards onto the Paper Issues FB page for a chance to win one of 4 $20 gift certificates to the Paper Shop! Woot Cassie!!

Pink by Design is also doing a challenge to celebrate the day for cards other than your typical A2 size. Stop by the blog to link up your square, easel and gatefold cards.

And I am giving away this half pint set called What's Your Number - super cute right?! Also a box full of card-making goodies from my stash - didn't have a chance to take a pic so it'll just have to be a surprise :) A mystery box!!

If you would like to be entered to win, please leave a comment below about anything you'd like, and if you are not already a follower of this blog, then please become one! I'll keep entries open through Monday night.

Have a wonderful day of card crafting!!
