Never Ending Card...

Well, it is not really a card but a 12" x 12" layout. I made it just like a never ending card. So it is like 4 pages in 1! How cool is that! When I went to this crop on last November, the lady showed us how to make a 6" x 6" never ending card, I made a couple of cards and finally I challenged myself to make a bigger "card" and here is the result. The harder part is to decorate it with thin embellishments...no 3D flowers, thick ribbon or buttons...

This is it for now! I want to wish you a Happy New Year! 2011 is almost here now! It goes too fast, isn't it?

Have a creative Wednesday! It is the last wednesday of 2010!

Before And After

A second post today! Woot!! If you're here for the Christmas Countdown Swap, just scroll down, I posted it earlier this morning.
So every year I make something; a box or a mini album for keeping all those details of December and this year, I made a small clipboard (5" x 7½", that I bought at a dollar store) Of course I had to alter it in some way. So I added a cover, very easy, and now, it stands by itself. The hardest part was to find the same thickness of chipboard. Made some pages, an envelope and added a calendar grid inside the cover for all those tiny details. There is plenty of place to add photos and journaling. Now I'm ready to go through December!

That's it for now!

Have a creative Friday!
