2012 Artisan Design Team Projects For December - Part Two

For today's project I created an embellished album. We received this beautiful 12x12 Crumb Cake Linen Ring Album in our box of goodies. We also got all 10 spools of 1/4 Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon! When I saw those 2 items, I immediately knew what I was going to do. This was the first project that I made as soon as I opened my box!! I love it. I am going to use this album for our family scrapbook pages for 2013.

The "B" monogram is from the Morning Post Alphabet set. I am really loving this alphabet set, it's the perfect size!

2012 Artisan Design Team Projects For December - Part One

This months Artisan Design Team box was fantastic! I loved everything it in. I am always thrilled with what arrives each month, but I think this months box was my favorite so far!!

My first project is a card using the Polka Dot Parade and Natural Composition paper (both were part of this months box). I love pinwheels, they are so cute! The little pinwheels were super easy to make too. I made this card neutral, so it could be given to a boy or girl.

Stamps: Made for You

Ink: Old Olive Classic Ink

Paper: Natural Composition Specialty Designer Series Paper, Polka Dot Parade Designer Series Paper, Silver Glimmer Paper, Whisper White Cardstock

Tools & Accessories: NEW Stampin' Trimmer (love it), Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack, 1 3/8 Square Punch, Ticket Duo Builder Punch, Owl Builder Punch, Rich Razzleberry 1/4 Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon, Real Red 1/4 Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon

Merry Christmas!!
