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

~~ Holiday Blog Hop ~~

Welcome to the Paper Secrets Holiday Blog Hop. I made a couple of things to share with you today. I created this lovely paper tree by punching a LOT of 1 1/4" circles of Mistletoe Paper, then used pearl floral pins to secure them in rows to a styrofoam cone. As I neared the top, I had to use some adhesive so that they did not flare out, but sit in the cone shape. At the top, I stamped 3 stars and adhered them to the top of the cone. Supplies: Styrofoam cone Pearl Floral Pins CTMH Mistletoe level 2 paper CTMH Mistletoe Creative Basics paper D1320 Shining Star Stamps I created a second paper tree using instructions from Tracey Mason . I created an accordion flower with a stamped sentiment for my topper on this one. Supplies: Styrofoam Cone CTMH Mistletoe Level 2 papers K& Co paper D1380 Just for the Holidays Stamps I created a total of four paper trees to sit upon my mantel! The "subway art" was a free printable from eighteen25 ....

April Showers Blog Hop

Thanks for joining me for another weekend of Blog Hoppin Fun! If you have come here from Tina's Blog , you are on the right path! Keep on hoppin until the end :) April Showers is our theme, and I went with the "shower" theme and made baby cards for baby showers! I am addicted to making these stacked present cards lately! I first saw one that my friend Jayma made, who found it on Vicki's blog. Recently, I saw a couple cute ones on Haley's blog too. I cut my paper strips at 1.25 tall x 3, 2.25 and 1.5 long. Add a ribbon down the center, or just a bow on top and you're set! I used the Sweet Baby stamp set and Polka Dot Alphabet for my sentiments. Now I'm all set for the next baby shower..... (though I don't know any preggos right now). This design is also great for Birthday Cards too!!!! I made two each of these cards and stamped Birthday sentiments on them :) Supplies: BOY: Miracle Level 2 Sweet Baby...
