Folio Notebook Holder

So I saw this awesome and pretty easy Folio Notebook Holder on YouTube by CherishUrmemories that I decided to do last night. The album is 10x7.  I received some papers and embellishments in a swap and decided to use them to create the outer cover.

'

On the inside, I have two mini notebooks that I covered with some Crafts & Me images. On the bottom I created a pocket for business cards and then a mini-waterfall effect and added another colored image I did from Crafts & Me. 

The other side is bare because I still need to get a notepad to put into it. Off to Walmart I go.

Here is a close up of the two images I colored up with my Copics.

Magnolia Card

It is bittersweet sharing my last DT card here for Quick Creations. It has been a pleasure working with this great DT and owner, Noelle, for nearly 2 years.  Wishing everyone a Happy New Years and best fortunes in wherever comes your way. 

Today's card showcases one of my favorite companies, Magnolia.  This adorable image is called "Up Up and Away".  As usual, I colored the image with my Copics.  I paired the image with the lovely paper collection by Simply Creative called Flower Girl Power.

Another Holiday Card

So I used some of my now retired stamp company. These images are still some of my favorites so I just could not part with them. I decided to do a more neutral card so that I can give it out to anyone I need to during the holidays.

The sentiment is from a Whimsy Stamp set I have. Love these great little sentiments and the stamp set is from a border die I have. I again colored it with my Copics and then mounted it on a kraft card.

Layout Time

Hello everyone. It is Olivia again and today I am back with a Scrapbook Layout. I try to do some pages of major events in my children's life at least because I often fall behind in my goals to get more pages done.  At least this one is done in the same year it happened. 

For this layout, I used the papers from the Carta Bella, HomeMade with Love. I love the rich colors of this collections.  I also added some embellishments from my stash and a mini Gorjuss stamp, Purrrrfect Love in my layout. 

Be sure to check out all the great papers and embellishments as well that work great with layout or other projects as well.
