Here’s another project I completed for Memories Live On. The inspiration for this project was an art project I did in 5th or 6th grade. The original was made from circles cut out of Christmas cards, was about twice the size of this, and was, to be perfectly honest, ugly as sin. Projects completed in a 50 minute art period …
Warm Wishes Card
This is one of my first designs for Memories Live On. I love the paper on this one. The swirls are so whimsical and pretty. I also feel like I’ve finally broken away from traditional Christmas colors. It’s hard to stop myself from constantly reaching for reds and greens. The blue really adds some warmth, I think.

This stamp took a deceptively long time to color. Like…wait for it…2 and a half hours. It looks so easy, right? Red, Green, Black, a little orange and brown and some bluish highlights.

The most time was taken deciding what colors to make each hat and scarf. …

I got the inspiration for this from Creating Keepsakes’ Fast and Fresh Scrapbooks 2010 issue. The sample in the book is for Christmas cards, …
Mini "Album" Photo Folders
This is one of my favorite crafts; I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do. The design is inspired by a card file make-and-take I did at a local craft store. I adapted the size to fit photos instead of cards, and I find it makes an amazing little “album.” It’s perfect for those sets of pictures …
