From Amazon Packing Paper to Crinkled Vintage Printable

 You know all that packing paper we get in our Amazon packages?! Well, I decided to experiment and see if it could be useful. It was and it is!!

I tore off a piece larger than an 8.5" x 11" piece of paper. Then I scrunched it up really tight. I opened it some and scrunched it up differently.

I then, opened it up and flattened it out some with my hands. I placed some parchment paper on top and ironed it.

I cut it to 8.5" x 11" and then I taped it to a piece of printer paper. If you try this, make sure the top is taped well and both sides so the paper doesn't move or get jammed up in your printer.

And voila! How cute is this?!?! It will be great for decoupage projects. Now, I just got to decide what surface I'll be putting these on ;) I'll have some Spring images (tulips, bunnies and roses) available as a digital download listing in my ETSY SHOP soon!!

Birthday/Christmas Gift Card Album Book

Click HERE to visit the Etsy listing!

 This is a super great gift card book printable using a Dollar Tree 4” x 6” photo album and this printable. There are 29 pages total of a wide variety of places you can purchase gift cards from and adhere to the corresponding pages. You can make it up for Christmas gifts or Birthday gifts.

There are two birthday covers and two Christmas covers to choose from. There’s also a To and From page that has plenty of room to write your greeting/nice note on.

Each page is created using high-resolution graphics and vivid colors. There is something for everyone! You choose what pages you want to use and just how many of each. Maybe you want two or more of the Amazon gift card page. Do it! Maybe you have no need for the pet grooming page, so just skip that one. It’s up to you!

They would also make great Birthday cards and/or Christmas cards if you just want to give one gift card to someone.

All you need to do is buy one of the 4” x 6” plastic photo albums from the Dollar tree and print off your pages. Cut out and slide into each of the page slots. Write your nice greeting, purchase the various gift cards and voila! You’ve got a great gift!! Some are more geared for “Gifts for Her” but most can be used for both him/her and/or families too!

Included in this 15 page .PDF file:

• 29 gift card pages ( places such as - eating out, soda, coffee, movie, pets, cash, Amazon cart, donut, new outfit, new shoes, self care, cookie, pizza, new book, gasoline, groceries and MORE)

• 2 Christmas covers to choose from

• 2 Birthday covers to choose from

• A Gift Card Poem page for inside front cover

• A To/From page with space for writing a greeting (in both Christmas and Birthday)

New 3.5" x 5" Notepad and Calendar Folio Tutorial

 I just added a new tutorial to my Etsy shop. I used a 3.5" X 5" notepad (3 to a pack) from the Dollar Tree. It is a refillable one. I also made blank 3" x 4" calendars to print off and add inside as well. It has a pocket, and a decorative velcro flap on top. I also included a lot of phrases for the top flap and/or inside pocket flap. I hope you'll take a look :)

Darling Skinny Notepad Cover/Folios

 I took some 5" x 8" Junior legal pads to a local copy store and had them cut them at the 1" mark and the 2" mark. So I have two 2" long pads and one 1" pad. I will post later what I decide to do with the 1" pads but for this, I used the 2" pads.

I made these darling cover or folios for them. I wrote up a tutorial with lots of pictures, exact measurements and detailed instructions on how to make them. You should try it out ;) It's super fun! I'm making a bunch for a craft show. You can purchase the digital tutorial HERE

Mini matchbook-style photo album or folio

 I love how this turned out. It works up fairly quick but writing the tutorial was a little time-consuming ;) That's okay though! I've got it finished and it's added to my Etsy Shop!

Wouldn't this be fun to add small photos and notes to? Maybe some fun ephemera and/or decorative paper clips and added pockets. Would be so cute in a junk journal!! Would be fun in just about any paper design - Even Christmas would be darling!! I used Stampin' Up! paper and cardstock but you could use anything you have on hand. 

So check out my tutorial (digital download) by clicking HERE!

Five Minute Weekly Journal

 Five Minute Weekly Journal

I sold a lot of these at the craft fair this past week. In fact, they all sold out and I wish I had made more ;)

I designed the pages and there's lots of cool journaling prompts and places to write goals for the upcoming week and also places to look back at the week prior and what you might've learned.

Digital Christmas Paper, Pockets and Tags Pack

 I just added this on Etsy. I made it over a month ago but it's such a large file (it's bursting at the seams with goodness) that it was too large for my Etsy listing. But today I researched and figured out how to get it to work! I'm super happy with it. I think it's beautiful, even if I do say so myself ;)

Click HERE to see it!

 I just finished and listed this "12 Days Before Christmas" flip chart/book .PDF file in my Etsy Shop! It turned out so cute!

Each day, for twelve days, take a moment to ponder key people, animals and items leading up to the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Each page has darling images, a scripture reference and a poem.

Right now it's just a .PDF file for you to print and assemble yourselves. However, I am making a bunch up for a craft show in November, and I may list some of the flip books in my Etsy shop then.
