Adore- Vintage Mixable Album

Hey there friends, it's quite an icy week in Tennessee.

People can laugh all they want but southerners are not equipped for ice!

I am fortunate to be able to work through the storm at home, 

including making a few pretties like this Mini Mixable Little Bits Album.

 I stamped straight onto the front acrylic page using StazOn of course,

(Sin City Stamps) then

went from there with some Anna Griffin papers.

 A bit of Krylon spray paint, and a smudge of Little B too, 

 In the end a fabby little album for a friend. 

What do you think?? <3 p="">

Vintage Mini Album + NEW TOOL! *Xyron* (of course!)

 Good morning friends, 

After a couple days off for the flu I am back in full swing with

this mini album! YES mini album that I created using my favorite goodies

and a NEW TOOL! I know many of my friends check my blog for

new tools because you know I will tell the truth!

So let me tell you about this project and in the end I will

review the new tool from Xyron. 

This mini album was created using a Clear Scraps acrylic sheet, Clear Scraps 

flowers, Ribbons Unlimited Ribbon (isn't  it amazeballs ribbon?? I LOVE IT!),

Tim Holtz papers, Connie Crystal Pearls, Xyron Adhesives, 

and the NEW Teresa Collins Xyron Stapler!

You can see it easily stapled through this ribbon and the acrylic (love that). 

Don't you think this Ribbons Unlimited Double Face Satin Ribbon just 

makes this project? I love it so much. I really had fun with this one. 

 I literally took stark white paper flowers from Clear Scraps

and Smooch Spritzed them and inked them until they looked like this.

 I crumpled them and mashed them into these. 

 The buttons I added using Xyron High Tack Dots.

The buttons are Blumenthal Lansing Cranberry Buttons.

 The ribbon of course is Ribbons Unlimited- 

 It was a fun project to create and I loved using these photos I took. 

 I love the floral style Tim Holtz papers. 

 So what do you think? A good one?? :) 

Ok now on to the TC Xyron Stapler- 

First of all you know I design with Xyron- but I never lie on my blog

if I didn't want it here, I don't care- I wouldn't post it. 

BUT I love this dang stapler! Seriously it is nice and heavy duty

and it works well! So- it's amazingly better than my 1.00 stapler LOL

It's easy to use and my hands hurt so I appreciate that!

It's pretty- durable and...it's PINK...can you go wrong?

The answer is NO! I say- totally worth it and I don't have to go buy 

any special items - it works with my staples, love that. 

That's my 2 cents- hope you enjoyed my post today- Happy Friday~
