Flip Flap Photo Book & Pink Heals

Recently, my little cousin, who happens to be my daughters BFF, was diagnosed with Cancer.  She's 4.  Sweet Ariya Grace was diagnosed just before Thanksgiving with Rhabdomyosarcoma, after a mass quickly grew on her eye.  To date, she has been through 4 rounds of Chemotherapy and will go through Radiation in a few weeks.  She's a sweet, spunky little girl who is a fighter! 

For Christmas, I decided to make her a little flip flap album full of pictures of her and my daughter from the last few months :) 

I used the promotional packet- Dream Pop, Silver Glitter Paper, Lagoon Houndstooth Washi Tape, Pink Polka dot Washi Tape, sparkles & 4x6 Flip Flaps

The cover:



A few of the pages:




All I did was cut my papers to 4x6, add the photos and a few little embellishments and slid them into the 4x6 Flip Flaps.  I then cut strips of white cardstock to use as "spine expanders".  I adhered everything together and added some of the Pink Polka dot Washi Tape, wrapped around, as a "binding" to the album. 

This was a very quick and easy project! 

Back to Ariya Grace.... before Christmas, this amazing organization- Guardians of the Ribbon- came to visit Ariya, bringing Santa and showering her with gifts.  They also brought a Pink Fire Truck and Pink Police car.  It was a very special day.... here are some pics

CTMH- Everything ABC's Blog Hop- E is for Easter

Welcome to the Everything ABC's Blog Hop! For this hop we will be featuring the letter E. This may be the name of a paper, a stamp set or an embellishment. Whatever the crafter has chosen as their E element will be featured in their post. If you have just hopped onto my blog, you can start at the beginning at Amber's blog ~ Scrapper's Therapy  If you came from Shelly ~ Just One Piece then you're on the right track! E is for EASTER You may recall a few months ago, I posted a couple layouts from the baby album I am making for my niece.... well she's now 3 months old and I only finished through 4 months!  I have some work to do..... Today I created an Easter Layout using THIS layout as my inspiration.  The Chantilly paper pack is perfectly girly and springy!  I cut two strips of the green pattern, then sliced it up to make it look like grass.  Using Art Philosophy, I cut out a bunch of different eggs in 1 1/2", 1 3/4" and ...

CTMH- Washi Tape Card

Do you WASHI???   Washi Tape is one of the new and super trendy products being used.  I'm not afraid to jump on the bandwagon :)  CTMH now has a Slate Polka-Dot Washi Tape (and I HOPE there are lots more to come!!!)  I also have picked up a couple others at Michaels recently. This weeks Color My Heart Color Dare is JUNIPER.  I decided to use Juniper as the accent color for my card today. I used the black banner stamp set from Artiste Kudos , CTMH's Slate Washi Tape , CTMH's Silver Shimmer Trim and a black arrow washi tape.  The sentiment is from Artiste Birthday , stamped in Juniper, then popped on foam tape. A simple card like this, called for some dressing up of the inside too.  I stamped Happy Birthday from Perfect Fit Birthday and added some Slate Washi Tape to the bottom. Head over to Color My Heart to check out the other color dare entries :)
