Creativation 2017 Mini Memory Album

I was challenged to create a mini album that was not a square or rectangle, had at least 3 pages, and had something to do with women.  So I have gotten back from Creativation 2017 and had all these fun little bits and bobs of products and make and takes from the show and thought I would make a mini book all about my memories, tags, business cards, and products I got from the show!



I made this fro a group called Crazy Lab, and it is a 4 part series where part 1 is collecting all my supplies, so I gathered all the fun little things from the convention that I brought home.


Part 2 was to prep the book pages and make the front cover.


Part 3 is where I completed the book pages and bound the book.

Each page is a memory of my time at the convention, people I met, companies I worked for, event that I went to, a booth I visited, a funny story about waiting in line, and so much more!!  It really is a little snapshot of my time at the convention!  Here are a few pages from the book.





I had so much fun meeting new people, meeting, friends that I had only met on line, and getting to be apart of an event that I had been dying to go to for years!!!

For the other artists doing the challenge check it out here - Crazy Lab

Come back next week for part 4 where I create a little container to store the book in!

Happy Mail Surprise Packages made of Cards and Envelopes **Xyron**

Do you love to send of happy mail to people for fun?  I am part of a group that does just that for planner supplies.  I wanted to make my package a little extra special so I create a little surprise mini book with little hidden pockets to put all the supplies.  Open a little flap and there are some little goodies just waiting to be discovered!


I made 3 total and already mailed them off to the people I selected from the Happy Mail Planner group I am apart of.


Here is a video tutorial on how I made these fun little surprise books!!


I filled them with sticky notes, little hearts, cards, flowers, punched Rinea foil flowers, buttons, tags, and some Planner Clips and they are all held together with the Xyron Mega Runner Adhesive!!



Here are the foil planner clips I made suing Rinea foil, I just love these!!

3D Heart Banner **Rinea & Canavs Corp & Beacon & Xyron**

I love to decorate for Valentine's Day and this year I wanted to create a banner that I could hang on my mantle above the fire place, but I did not want a flat 2D banner, I wanted to pop!  I looked up ideas for how to make 3D hearts, and I found a super easy one that anyone can make!!


These hearts are so easy, you just need to layer different sizes together and then glue them onto a little tag shape in canvas (from Canvas Corp).  Here is a video tutorial on how to make these fun 3D hearts, plus how to make the fun die cut ones on the end.



The hearts can be as flat or 3D as you want them you be, but I like them a little more dimensional!


The die cut hearts really pop with the Reina foil too!!


I stick with pinks, reds, and neutrals for this banner, simple canvas tags with golds really make the pink and gold Rinea foil just shine!


This banner is wonderfully easy to make for a school party, adult party, home decor, or just for fun!  It can also be made by kids, since the hearts are just in layers!!  Happy Valentine's Day!!

Supplies Used
Foil - Rinea
Canvas - Canvas Corp Brands
Rope - Canvas Corp Brands
Clothespins
Cutter - Sixxix
Dies - Sixxix
Electric Cutter - Cricuit
Glue - Beacon Adhesives
Adhesive - Xyron

DIY Hyacinth Foil Flowers **Rinea & Beacon**

I love to make paper flowers, and when I can make them 3 dimensional it is even better!!  I love the beauty of the Rinea foils about how they shimmer, sparkle, and retain the shape you put them in as you roll it.  So I thought what would be a fun flower for spring, a hyacinth!!


The Rinea foil is perfect for this project as the paper holds it shape wonderfully when you roll it.  It also has a this amazing sparkly shimmer because it is foil!!  Here is a video on how to make these fun flowers!


They have flown to a conference and back and have still held their shape wonderfully!


I made these flowers in soft pastels, with one is a deep purple.


The glossy Rinea paper have a color on one side and gold on the back, so it really makes for a beautiful looking flower!

Now go out and make some pretty flowers!!!

Supplies
Foil - Rinea Foil
Pencil
Cutter/Scissors - Fiskars
