Things I love About You

What is a layout without the things you love to scrap with?  I love butterflies and flowers, so I used them in this layout.  This is my granddaughter who loves to be with me in my Craftroom.  The rolled flowers were cut on the Cricut using the Art Philosophy cartridge and the butterflies were created using the Martha Stewart punch.  I even used some metallic tape to punch some put.  The polaroid photo mats were also cut with the Cricut from a Gypsy file that another crafter so graciously shared.  The glittered paper is from my stash and the design is a negative cut image. I hope you like it.

Summer FUN

Glad I'm not in there!LOL

Using Up my Stash

Here's another mini!  I just love these little mini treasures.  While sitting and surfing the Tube(YouTube) I came up with this project that has as its base, envelopes.  I designed the envies on my Gypsy(Cricut design tool).  I used the Just Because Cricut cartridge and resized the envelopes so that they would serve as a good base for creating and adding pictures. I used so many tools from my stash in this mini. Check out my Youtube channel (FayraiDesigns) for a more detailed description.  I used the Black Currant paper stack by DCWV. Thanks for stopping by.

My first Gate-fold mini

Recently I got on a mission to do a gate-fold mini.  I worked on this project for two days.  I finished it today and I absolutely love it.  I had stayed clear of these types of minis for a long time because I feared that I would not be able to do it.  So with the help of some gifted ladies on YT, I was able to pull it off.  I'll post pics later after I upload a video giving details of the inside.  

My Newest Mini

Here in my craft space minis are the order of the day.  I love to create these small pieces of art. Although they are small they pack a huge punch when it comes to design possibilities.  Pockets and pull-outs, stamping and inking are just a few design elements that can be used. This mini was inspired by the awesomely talented Laura Dennison.  She calls it "beaded matchbook mini". I used the Imagine cartridge "word of mouth" and the "Love you a Latte" lite cartridge. When these are put together, the end result was an awesome little mini.  I also used kraft cardstock and a very cute "housey" pattern paper. So without further ado, here is the mini.

A Vertical TP Mini

Have you ever recycled used toilet paper rolls?  What you say-- are you kidding?  No I'm not.  They make idea mini album surfaces for a neat little project.  Usually the rolls have a horizontal orientation but recently I watched a video that used a vertical one.  I must say the project is quite a cute little mini.  So here's a peek at it.  Enjoy.

Wedding Bliss

Yesterday was one of my crafty friends wedding.  She got married outside which was very delightful.  Enjoy a few pics. The last photo is a wedding guestbook that I created.  More details for that are on my YouTube channel- FayRaiDesigns
