Accucut Camera Travel min-album scrapbook instructions

Another variation of an old favorite - I love this die, but it did have one challenging feature - the LENS hole... I found these clear top tins and though they would fill that space perfectly, and I could put a micro-mini inside... So I had Accucut create a custom die made of the camera outline as the base for the tin. The album is bound with my Cinch, and I used various vintage travel log designer series paper. I used my Cricut to cut "CLICK" it's from Creative Memories - Traveler and the "Flash" is from Cricut Crash! Boom! Pow! I used some ribbon to make a wrist strap. There is Tim Holtz film strip and Sizzix Sizlet film strip on the side - I did glossy accent the film strip to give it the shiny appearance. I did the micro-mini accordion style, and I'll leave space to journal on alternating pages. I used the Accucut gift card pocket - oldie, but a goodie! The little camera is also an older Sizzix die (yellow). I added...

Reusable snack bags - from Trader Joe's shopping bag

It hurts my feelings a LOT to throw ziplock bag after bag, after bag away… and you can only use them so may times before they simply look disgusting, and/or fall apart. I happen to stumble across this idea on "oh yay, Pinterest" and I thought I can make those… but I could not find "cute" food safe fabric… until it struck me that TJ's had fun bags that would most certainly be food safe, right…? here they are sealed with the velcro closed I took a seam ripper and opened the bag out until I had one big piece of fabric, selected the area I wanted and cut to my desired size - I choose 6"x 19" the full length of the bag, this made the two snack sized bags above. I think I'll make a few 6"x 14" to mimic the zip locks that I toss away - NOT ANY MORE…!!! I folded the edge over, and pinned one side of the the velcro (velcro width is 1/4" from edge of fabric to accommodate the side stitch) to the wrong side of the fabr...

3D pop-up folding birthday card for my youngest grand boy who turned 2 :)

Here is the card I made him - I'm in love with these 3d pop-up folding cards... and for the record he spent as much time being fascinated by the card as he did playing with his Strider bike.. LOL...!!! I fussy cut trapezoidal shapes from my scrap paper, and used hole punches to make the presents look funkier (swiss cheese affect), added the Memory Box Bow, and stuck them on the cross bars. The Hippo's are from Cricut Create a Critter, the flower on the hippo is a perfect place for a bit of bling - even for a boy card (it's BLUE..!), and the balloons are Martha punch. it was really hard not to ask if I could keep the card.. "Here, Happy Birthday, can I have the card back..?"
