Well today is a really great day because it's my first post on the
Craft Hoarders Anonymous Blog. This is the perfect team for me since
i am just a bit of a hoarder and now i can use up some of the things in
my stash to give as gifts. It's going to be a really fun year!!
Since we just had Christmas i am sharing a book that i did for my sister
to put all the cute photos of her cats in. She had an amazing big white persian
cat named Mabel and sadly she passed away recently and it was the perfect
papers from Graphic 45 to use. The line is called Raining Cats and Dogs and
it's absolutely adorable. The line comes with lots of flowers and
tags and other fun goodies so it was easy to check off lots of things from
my list of things i needed to use to make this project for her....
The flowers i made with the punch out's that come in the set. I love the
bright prints and the check ribbon from RRR went great with it. You can
also see here how i cut and staggered the bottom edges of the book. The
papers are so pretty i wanted to show them off on each page before i turned
them to see the next photo on it. And it comes with these way too cute
chipboard pieces, buttons, tags and all kinds of goodies to decorate with.
Here and below i am sharing each of the pages that i did.
Each of them has lots of cute things on it and lots of ribbon
and buttons and brads. It was really fun to do and my sister
really liked it.
The pictures of the cats on this are just way too cute!
Thank for stopping over to see my book and be sure and enter the
challenge yourself and see what you can dig out of your stash to make
something for someone really special!! Have a wonderful day :)
