Hello Everyone!
A couple of my friends suggested that I take some samples of my cards to CHA in case anyone would like to see "what I do". I had originally planned on just carry-ons and didn't want to drag cards because my favorites are thick with lots of embellishments and they would have taken up lots of space in my bags.
I also have lots of photos stored on my computer and need to purge for space.
My fix for that was to create a book to keep all of my favorite cards in!
I had a blast making this book! :) You can make them super quick by using the pre-made layouts and simply insert your photos, or you can do like I did and completely design it yourself. I wanted to choose the colors and embellishments that would coordinate with and best showcase my cards.
I thought I would share a few pages with you.
Remember, you can click on the images to enlarge.
I did a few pages with my clear stamp and digi stamp illustrations.
I also added pages of my design teams past, current, (and one that's coming). :)
I didn't show you here because I didn't take the time to clear it, but I also scanned the pages of the publications I have had cards in. I'm pretty much keeping a record of my entire crafting hobby.
I've derided to do a new book each year now also. I am saving my favorite creations as I go in a special folder so It will be super easy to find them when I'm ready to create the next book.
How did I do it you ask?
