Nuvo Confetti 
Great Valentine colors and shapes.

Founds some different size and style hearts and silver hexagons - items for shaker cards. Cute little charms for a Valentine's Day mini album.

Lovin the trims for 10 cents and a quarter..plus a zipper for my makeup bags.

The best magnets in two sizes..I use so many of these.


The clear rhinestones are iridescent and change color.  A large package for a $1. Silver and white twine for Valentine's Da, Xmas, New Years or Wedding. New vintage paper pad and white envelopes and cards for class projects.


Spring Stamps

Thinking a small zipper bag maybe for Summer or Florida.

New dies...

The tags are have stitched lines.  

I especially am liking these !

Sizzix and Tim Holtz 2019

They've arrived...! and I really think you will like all of them as much as I do.

Thinking Spring projects.

Got a card already in mind for this one. Found the ink at a thrift store brand new in package.  Trying out new brushes by Tim.

Flipping time !

Cutting all the pieces...

Hinge is scored and the pocket pages are glued and the  inserts are ready for decorative paper.

Glueing the front and back cover (on each side and) to the hinge in the middle that will flip the pages.

Going together quick and easy !!! Now to find the right decorative paper.  Stay tuned for the finished project that I may need a video of to show off the flipping in each direction it does...

Front cover- love this gauzey polka dotted ribbon.
Looking forward to making more of these with our group. Good way to use up our stashes of ribbons, buttons, etc.. 
 
Side view of the pages and how they flip down.  The top has pages that pull out from pockets.

Inside front cover - I used some older My Minds Eye Papers.
Side view of the flip album. These are really quick to put together and you could use a small pad of paper to decorate it.  A couple of sheets of 12 x 12 make the base of this little flip with some chip board.

I Love Christmas - Echo Park mini album


Pocket page inside the front cover.  Used a border strip of Santas for bottom pocket.



1st page on the right.

 Used the stripe paper for the spine for contrast. 

1st interior page on the right with pockets on the inside cover.  

Flip down tag. 

Gate fold on the left side.  I used a sticker and a magnet to create a closure.  

Inside the gatefold.  These pages slide on the hinges and made glueing so easy.
