Christmas in July!

I know, I am behind...what can I say I have a 3 month old! ha ha Our challenge for card club for July was Christmas in July, so at least I did get a tiny head start on making my Christmas cards! :) There were 2 versions to my card, I ended up going w/ the so saffron base - although after I made them all I think I like the rose red one better??? I don't know. I had this stamp set from CTMH that had never seen ink along w/ the matching paper, so guess what?? I had to ink it up! So, with those 2 things in mind, I set off to create my masterpiece. ;) Anyone else start making Christmas cards yet?

Toilet paper roll mini album

I got this idea from one of the nurses when I was in the hospital after having the baby. It is so easy to do & was so much fun so I decided to make a few more. Our friends got married at the end of June & my cousin got married in July. I didn't know the colors of my cousins wedding so I stuck with some basic grey paper that I thought was fitting. Our friends wedding was lime green & teal so I custom made theirs to match their colors. The front "Happily ever after" is from the Cricut Storybook cartridge. I don't have any of the love/wedding themed cartridges so I made it work & think it looks nice. I also decorated the inside of the little pull out tabs with their new last names, etc - all they have to do is add pictures. The tabs are made with the Cricut Bags Tags & Boxes cartridge & are 4". This is a super easy project!
