Finally it's here! I'm so happy to share my newest album filled with pretty papers and cute embellishments.
It was truly a labour of love. It also comes with some lovely embellishments to add to the album. Its listed in the shop too so you can get yours too! The album comes with 6 cute embellishments that I just adore.
I'm working on mine today - hopefully it will done soon so that I can share with you!

Finally the day has come! I've been working on this - trying to get it done before December! It's ready. 34 pages, fun embellishments, journaling tags, stickers, mini envelopes and die cut shapes. I'm planning on using one as a December Daily at least at this point. We'll see how that goes though it won't fit into my current monthly album. Updates to come! Here's a sneak peak:
They are available in my shop - there is only a limited number of them, so get them while they are available. More photos of all the pages to come.
I have less than a month left of school thank goodness. I also registered for classes today. It's one of my favourite parts of school. Going through the class search and looking at everything and anything I can take. But then reality sets in and I realize that even though I'd like to take 7 classes a semester it's not possible. There would be no time for crafty things. And I think I would go crazy. None of that. Only 3 classes next semester as we head into the 6 month countdown to the wedding. AHh!!!
More update and so grateful on it's way.
After putting together the classic christmas tag kits, I've got all sorts of leftovers and opps pieces that I couldn't handle just throwing in the trash. Instead I thought I would put together a cute project. If you have a classic christmas tags kit what I used was:
-2 large manilla tags
-2 pattern paper tags
- little and christmas text pieces on cover and joy, love and peace throughout the book
-any other odds and ends that you feel like adding in
-miscellaneous embellishments, I love crystals
I decided that the theme of my book would be goals, wishes, plans, dreams for the new year. I decided on simple statements that may be elaborated on later and tried to find pictures from my leftover stash to go with. If you haven't noticed I'm a huge fan of distress ink right now. It's a little insane. I inked almost the entire book and used a dabber on the front and back cover too!
I cut up one piece of cardstock to fill in the pages of my book - I only used 8 but you could make as many as you need. When you're cutting, to get the most out of your cardstock, cut your 8.5x11 in half length wise (at the 4.25" mark) and then cut 2 3/8" from the two halves.
I hope you enjoy it! Send me a picture or two of your project - love to see it!
enjoy, ashley
It's been a few hectic days around here but I am so happy to announce the roll out o my christmas line! Hooray! First out of the gates are classic christmas tag kits.
The kits come in two sizes and include all of my favourites! I especially love the deer. I custom cut a bunch of the die cut shapes for the kits and of course handstitched them! They are perfect to do with family or girlfriends and work well as christmas tree ornaments as well. Here's a few tags that I have made so far!
What else is on its way? Look forward to an embellishment kit (perfect for a December Daily), felties embellishment set and text sets. It gets better. I have plans to complete a winter themed set as well, just incase Christmas isn't your thing or you just like snowflakes and adorable snowmen too! I'm so excited that this project is finally complete. I also can't wait to get to work and make my own christmas tags.
Get ready for lots more holiday lovelies.. they are on the way
Cowichan lake is one of my favourite places to be. Only a few times a summer but it is magical. I made this layout that will soon belong to my E book. Ali and I got engaged in June of this year and I told myself that I wanted to document the 12 months (we're getting married the same day we were engaged of the following year) in between the engagement and wedding. Not too much has happened on that front but hey, life was busy.
The plan: To document not only wedding things but life things that happen in between June 2009 and June 2010. Basically, each month will get a layout, just text and paper and the month. And then there will be layouts following each month (this one will follow August). I think it's brilliant and it will work. I also like it because I can just focus on whatever is happening, wedding related or not!
Check back for more layouts!
So a few days ago I was all over the halloween but really I'm more of a christmas kind of girl. It's a great time of year! I love..
With new embellishments that are posted in my shop, I thought I would post some items made with them. The first one for you is of course, a christmas card. holiday tradition embellishments might be my favourite so far. They just say christmas to me!
The card itself is pretty easy. I put the pattern paper on first and the green 2" circle. Then I punched through both layers with a smaller 1 3/4" circle. I wrapped the ribbon around the card and then used an embellishment to cover the seam. And for good measure I added one more!
