April Showers!

I just loved this little bug from April Showers







Bug: April Showers
Paisley for the umbrella
Simply Charmed for the mushroom
Peachy Keen PK 754 critter faces
Faux stitching around the clouds

New Technique used: The rain drops are from cloud 9, they were pink!
I used a blue sharpie marker and colored over them! It worked perfect
and the ink does not smear off! Now they look like rain drops!

Quick Tip Tuesday!! How to make a Brag book QUICK!

As part of the Creative Cutter Room design team I would like to share these quick tips with you!

I had many questions on how I made my travel brag book and how I made it in just a few hours. Here are some quick tips on what helps me work quickly and a how to video!




Tip # 1
Have all your supplies ready to go!
Pull out your base for your project in this case large envelopes and card stock
Pre-measure the page sizes and jot them down.
Pick through all your scrap paper select your pages and cut them to the correct size
Pull out all the embellishments and fun things you have been hoarding
Use up all the scrap ribbon, scrap strips and all those buttons!
Pull out all the tools you "had" to have like the crop a dile and cuttlebug and use them!

Basic instructions:
3 - 9x12 envelopes
3 - 8 1/2 X 11 sheets of cardstock
fold all of the above in half
Punch a hole about 1" from the top and one toward the bottom
Feed ribbon through top and bottom holes and tie a knot on the outside cover
Cut pattern papers down to size 12 cut at 8 1/2X 5 1/2 for the envelopes and 12 cut at 8 1/4X5 1/4 for the cardstock
Add ribbon and twine to any papers first then using hot glue gun glue the pattern paper down
Now add your embellishments, journal tags and fun pockets!















If you make one, please leave me a comment I would love to come by and check it out!

Even better, lets go ahead and enter this project and your mini album project over at my DT Sister Mollie's Blog! Cricket's Cricut Creations!  She is having an April Fool's Challenge, make a mini album!

I hope you enjoyed my quick tip today!Please stop by Creative Cutter room and leave a comment and be entered to win this:
