I love my husband dearly, but once I learned that he was giving his mother cash for a shopping spree for Mother's Day, I knew I had to quickly throw something handmade and heartwarming together. So, I made up this quick paper bag card using mostly Misty's Chatty kit...in fact, I slightly altered the LO that's on the front and then did up two quick pages for the inside. Then, I burned low res copies of all my LOs since Christmas on a CD and included it with the card. (We gave her a clock with a picture display for Christmas, all loaded up with LOs of family, and this was an update to that.) I was out of matte paper, so the LO looks shiny. I used just regular cardstock for the inside...to give it a more natural look. This project seriously only took about 10 minutes because we were heading out the door. LOL

Paper Bag books made me a small fortune a couple of years back, and while they are no longer popular, it can give you an idea of how I create mini books...I love lots of ribbon and details!
Another mini book example is this acrylic/hybrid album that I recently made:
One of my gigs with TLC as a leader was to do training/tutorial chats each month. I would show them new and creative ways to use their digital and paper products. Here are a couple of examples I shared with them...I personally have made baby onesies, group camp shirts, and a couple of just-because types of things for gifts but don't have pics.
One month, I created treat topper/tent templates to share with them...here are a couple of examples that I made using my templates:
I have started a couple of home decor projects with Misty Cato's Chatty kit because it matches my living room perfectly. But, like I mentioned, time just wasn't my friend this week.
