*just a little note about this photo of the trey.. some of the embellishments were moved and do not appear in the right places.. just envision that the stack of cups and the sentiment are on the left side of the trey and are not in front of Chef Marci and there is one embellishment missing on the lower right corner..

Handmade Book with Sitting Marci

I must admit, after taking a first video a few days ago I was aching to make another one!!  I think I am addicted now!!  I really like including a video of the project along with the photos, you can show so much more!!

And, the other thing.. I am on the kick of making projects right now instead of cards.. Don't know what that's about and how long it will last, but this is what excites me at the moment!!

Today I made a little hanmade book with Sitting Marci by La-La Land Crafts.  You can buy this stamp at our retail locations as well as in our online store.  HERE is the link.

This book measures 4" x 5 1/2" and has six pages inside.

Brown Paper Bag Card - Pink Paisley

I did it!! I accomplished not one, but two new things today!! For the very first time I made a Paper Bag Card and for the very first time I uploaded a video to YouTube!! Oh, and by the way, I used my new IPhone to film, I think the quality is pretty-pretty good!! I would love to hear what you think but please be gentle with the first timer here ;-)

            

This will be one of the projects at my May Workshop.   To see other projects for this Workshop please click HERE.

May Workshop is scheduled for:

Sunday, May 29th

10 am to 6 pm

at Scrapbook Island in San Jose, CA

This Workshop is by invitation only.  If you would like to attend but did not receive an Evite invitation from me, please email me at irina_ca@msn.com and I will add you onto the list.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This card measures 6" x 6" (folded).

Can you believe this card/project base is a regular brown bag?  AMAZING!!  I just LOVE how this project has turned out!!  This is really so much more than a card, but this is exactly what I wanted to do when I got Pink Paisley papers from their new Butterfly Collection.  Papers are just so gorgeous, I wanted to do my best to showcase them. 

and here are some of the Paper Bag Card photos.. just a few.. haha ;-)
