Vintage Mini Tag Album

Hi there! I'm here today with a vintage themed mini tag album project created for 

Clear Scraps.

I’m working with the Mini Tag Album.  This album includes 5 acrylic  pages that measure approximately 3 inches tall and a ring. Clip on a purse, a tote bag, or even clip a mini on the outside of a bigger stand alone album!

Start with the five individual pages and remove the protective film from the backside of each.

Antique parchment colored acrylic paint is added to each page. But you can also add ink, paper or leave clear.

To decorate the pages I pulled out a book of vintage themed ephemera. 

I die cut small oval frames and lightly applied some gold gilding wax for an aged effect.

Stickers were chosen to add to the back of each page. The frames were added.

I turned each page over to the front side, removed the protective film and added stickers.

The book ring was added to the five pages. I attached some ribbons, lace and a charm to finish.

I can attach as a decorative element to a bag.

Or add to an album, notebook or a planner.

Thanks for checking out my project! I hope I’ve given you some inspiration.

Feb Challenge at Morgan's ArtWorld

Happy Saturday and 1st of February!

 Already one month down for the year 2025!

With that being said, it is time for a new challenge at

Morgan's ArtWorld!

If you enjoy entering challenges and have not joined us please do.

It's always ANYTHING GOES and you can enter with 

any images from any company.

For my DT project this time around I am using

Butterfly Fairy Dust 29.

I colored the image in muted tones with Castle Arts Harmonious Pencils.

My 6 x 6 inch card base is a metallic card stock.

I added a patterned panel from a Recollections paper pad.

On top of this panel is a die cut circle out of the same card stock as the card base.

Then added a plain white rectangular panel on which my

fussy cut image was popped with foam tape.

I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment which is from Crafter's Companion.

Ribbon was added to the left side of the card and a gem sticker was applied.

Thanks for stopping by, it is always appreciated.

Beautiful Braids in My Hair

 Hello there!

Popping in one more time this month to share inspiration for

Conie Fong Art & Design!

I have used one of my favorite digis

Braids in My Hair.

My card is a simple design.

I used a set of Spellbinders dies to frame the digi which

I colored with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut.

The frame was adhered  with foam tape for a little dimension.

The digi was set inside the frame and glued with wet glue.

I stamped and heat embossed the "Beautiful" sentiment.

6 white pearls were added to complete.

Be sure and visit Conie's Etsy Shop for this digi and a whole lot more.

Also, I hope you'll join us over on Facebook at

My Cup of Tea Printer Tray

Hi there!

I'm happy to share a home decor project created for Clear Scraps.

This is a tea themed printer tray using the Square Printer Tray and the new Mini Shaker Teapot.

I started this project by pulling out the 5 pieces of the printer tray.

2 of the chipboard cutout pieces were glued together.

I applied double sided tape to the edges of the chipboard back piece.

A piece of 12 x 12 inch card stock was adhered to the back.

Gold gilding wax was applied to the 3rd chipboard cutout piece and set aside.

I pulled out a coordinating paper pad and an assortment of dies from Crafter’s Companion to use for decorating the tray.

Die cutting was done.

Patterned papers were cut to 4 x 4 inches for some of the squares of the tray.

I started adding the patterned papers.

The die cuts were added to each section of the tray.

The protective film was removed from the acrylic divider.

The acrylic divider and top chipboard cutout piece were adhered to the tray.

The last part of the project is to put the shaker together.

I started by painting the chipboard pieces with acrylic paint.

Adhere 2 of the 3 chipboard forms together.

This piece is then adhered to the chipboard back.

Next, add shaker pieces.

Remove protective film from both sides of the acrylic piece.

Adhere the acrylic to the chipboard filled with shaker pieces.

Add the top chipboard piece to the acrylic.

I added some gold gilding wax to the teapot.

The teapot was added to the lower right fray front to finish.

I love the way this “My Cup of Tea” Printer Tray project came out and hope you do too!

Baby Seal Valentine

Hello there!

Hope your Saturday is going well!

It's cold and snowy here in Colorado today.

So, a good day for crafting!

I put together this card using 

Baby Seals on Iceberg

Conie Fong Art 

These cuties were colored with Prismacolor Pencils.

I fussy cut the image.

My card measures 5 x 6 1/2 inches and was

created with a piece of medium blue card stock.

I die cut some clouds out of the same blue as the card base and white for

the top of the card.

A darker blue card stock covers the rest of the card.

I smudged a little white ink over the blue.

Added foam tape to the back of my image and adhered.

Decided to die cut some double hearts and "Valentine" out of white card.

3 pear;s were added for just a little extra!

Not your regular red or pink Valentine card, but I like the way it came out!

Hope you do too!
