Just added this completed baby book to my Etsy Shop Frizzled Feather. Papers from KlouiseDigiAre, LaPetiteFleur, and DigitalVintageDreams, and Images from PrettyGrafikDesign, Decorartist, and DigiMePrints.

It is a fun little album that will hold 21 plus 4x6 photos and a couple of pockets to stuff with overflow! It is decorated with the cutest owls and flowers, and it has many spaces for journaling or labeling the photos.

Visiting Teaching Handout for August

It is hard to believe that it is almost August! I have a simple yet elegant handout for Aug. It is a little more difficult to mail but it will be a beautiful reminder on a shelf or table.

To create a wash basin and towel, I used a 4 1/2" clay pot saucer, a scrap of material 4x6 that I wrote Be Humble on with Scribbles fabric paint (maybe use vinyl? or stickers?), and a tag with the scripture John 13:14,15 that I printed then punched with a Martha Stewart around the page punch set. If you wanted to take it to the next level, you could include a small tube of foot cream.

If you have a Silhouette and would like a cut file for the tag, you can find it HERE.

If you would like me to make the tag and towel for you, please go to my Etsy Shop at www.Etsy.com/shop/FrizzledFeather

I hope you are enjoying life!

Black and White Mini Album

I have just posted a new ready-made mini. It is done with black and white paper that makes the album perfect for any occasion. It also is an example of the endless possibilities of the You Design mini album. You can purchase this mini just the way it is or you can use the pictures as a springboard and design your own using different layouts, etc. Check out all the fun options at www.Etsy.com/shop/FrizzledFeather

Papers used in the project are by:

VT July 2015

Here is a little tutorial for making the card I made for the July Visiting Teaching message.

Cut band 9 ¼ x 2 – Punch if desired ( I used Martha Stewart Butterflies) – score at 2 3/8 from each side – fold and glue.

Cut back 4 ¼ x 5 ½ -- punch top if desired (I used a Martha Stewart punch)

Cut 2 sides 6 ¾ x 5 ½ -- score on long side at 2 1/8, 4 ¼, 6 3/8. Fold opposite of each other so that the ¼ tab can glue to the back.

Cutting angle – Place score mark of the ¼” tab on the cutting line of your paper cutter, then swivel the opposite end to the 1 ½” mark, cut, punch and trim

Adhere sides to the back

Place picture on the center "square"

I used a picture from LDS.org Since I don't own that picture I can't supply it. But you can easily download it for person and church use.

Making the side mats with message.

Type up the message as shown. You can do this in Word on a single sheet. Just remember they are going to be cut into a strip that is almost 2 inches wide. I printed mine on two different colors of paper. You can do it all one color. In the picture they are already cut. The picture shows them out of order - sorry :)

For the left side:

First cut the message into a strip 1 7/8" wide. Don't worry about top and bottom yet.

Now cut the bottom (see picture for approx. where)

For far left: starting at the bottom on the left side of the mat, measure up 2 7/8 and put a light mark with a pencil. Next, measure up 3 3/8 and mark. Use a ruler to connect the dots and using a craft knife, cut the angle.

Here are the measurements for the left side mats. Reverse measurements left and right for the right side of the card - because the angle goes the opposite way.

Far left (first message mat) 1 7/8 wide, left side of left mat 2 7/8, right side of left mat 3 3/8

Center 1 7/8 wide, left left side of center mat 3 5/8, right side of center mat 3 3/4

Right of center (there are 3 mats on the left side of the card. This is far right one - on the left side) 1 7/8 wide, left side 3 3/4, right side 4 1/4

If you make a blank one for each of the 3 mats you can use it instead of measuring every time. Be sure to flip the angle for the right side.

Then if desired, make blank ones to go on the back of the card sides. You will need two small blank ones for the part of card that shows in the front.

Baby You Design Photo Album

Here are some pictures of just one way to do a You Design Mini Album from my Etsy shop at www.Etsy.com/shop/FrizzledFeather.

This book is made using DCWV Little Miss Stack, and then embellished with cute baby graphics. It features many flaps and pockets that will hold 4"x6" photos, making it easy to fill and enjoy!

When you design your own You Design Mini Album you can pick from a number of paper themes (more to be added), book styles (Med and Lg at this time with more styles to come), and page layouts (lots there but more to come). Your book is hand crated just for you! On this blog there is a step-by-step instruction for ordering your photo album HERE. Immagine the delight of someone receiving such a wonderful gift that you designed!

Come see what is possible at www.Etsy.com/shop/FrizzledFeather
Thanks for stopping by,
