What I've been making with We R Memory Keeper boards

When i started this project my goal was to use my We R Memory keepers boards that i own. 
I had just recently bought the tab one because it was on clearance and for $6. Who could resist?
I already own the We R Memory keepers frame board. I used on the fronts of these pockets and added acetate to hold my Tag on the inside in.
I used my "Shabby" paper stack to create these. What you see in the windows is a tag that you can pull out from the top.


Misc.... supplies used
Vintage Photo Distress ink
Misc... lace trims
Tim Holtz flower ephemera and ballarina
White flower appliques from some trim that i had
Ribbon bow
Pink flower applique that i got at the Goodwill
Stamped letter background stamp- 49 Market- Pascale's Writings stamp
The Fern on the left and the Border on the top right were made with air dry clay and silicone molds and then i painted them with Metallic green paint and Metallic pearl paint.

Old book page stamped folded pockets

Still on my junk journal kick. I just love putting together all of these pockets for junk
 journal pages way in advance and then being able to just decorate and  pop them on the page. I also love the messiness of distress inking. Grungy right?  My fingers are always colored but that's okay. It wears off. lol
I used several Tim holtz stamps and some rooster and background stamps that i had in my stash. Vintage Photo Oxide Distress ink
Sewed around the outside edges with machine and brown thread.

Hubby's Birthday was yesterday.

Yesterday was Scott's Birthday. What a weekend! Busy Busy
Here is the card that i made Scott using a LOTV digital airplane image.
I just love these little vintage airplanes and since two people in my house so far, are going to be professional pilots (hubby is and daughter in college for), i thought this image was appropriate.
