Mini Album

Castle with Mini Album

Hi There, this is my latest project and it is for my Great Niece.  I was inspired by Laura Denison of Utube and Ustream fame, with her many tutorials that have taken me in this fun and exciting direction.  I also saw a piece of unfinished MDF shelf from KaiserCraft that I wanted to use but needed to make it deeper along with other changes as I wanted to be able to insert a mini album.  This castle and drawer are made from heavy chipboard and the album is a "Stack the Deck" that was created originally by Laura Denison.  Thanks for visiting!!!

My newest LOVE is Graphic 45 papers.  This is the Gatefold album that I created for my daughter's birthday.  I used the Tropical Travelogue collection that I purchased from my Westminster Archivers.  This album was inspired by Laura Dennison's tutorial on "Stack the Deck, Gatefold" video on YouTube.  Laura is absolutely awesome!!The tools and supplies that I used were so numerous and include Tim Holtz dies,Martha Stewart punches, Spellbinders dies, K&Company die cuts, Sizzix wave die, Cropadile, McGill tab punch, TH Distress ink, stamps from Stampland and Michaels, brads, paperclips and Scoretape.  If you have any questions, please let me know and I will be happy to reply.  Grace

My niece Sara, had a tiny baby boy and we had to postpone her shower till this weekend.  This is the cake that I made for them. 

This is a cake I did for my daughter, Wendy.  It is covered with blue marbled fondant and the palm trees are made of fondant/gumpaste.  The sand on the beach is course grain sugar colored with cinnamon. 

Little Lucas John is our newest addition to our family.  He is my youngest sisters grandson and was born in November of 2011 and he only weighed 2lbs and 12 oz at birth.  He is doing very well and is home from the hospital now.  I made this little album as a gift for them and I hope they enjoy it.
