365 Cards - Day 153 - Tag You're It and other stuff...

I stayed home with a sick child today. My youngest has strep. YUK. On the up side, I got to play with my computer and paper. I was able to get some envelopes addressed for the Opus Gluei give-away. I won't show the pictures of the goodies being packed. I want them to be surprised. It should only be another day or two before they go out in the mail.


I also worked on the base for a Disney album for our coming vacation.



I happened to have a Disney Park Guide (brochure) from a previous trip. It measures 9x4, so I made my pages to fit. I also used white card stock and made a background overlay with the words "Disney World 2009" repeated in two different fonts.



I used a couple different frames for the different parks and restaurants that we have reservations at. Plus I made a cool airplane page. The girls are really looking forward to flying down there.




I still have to punch holes and maybe make a few more filler pages.

I was inspired by Lauren.
She made a couple of kickin' vacation albums built around brochures.

You can see one here and another here.
She has a fantastic creative flair. Thanks Lauren.


I will probably make a kit to take with me on vacation that is similar to Lauren's. Scissors, glue, stapler, rub-ons, pen. I don't know about the DYMO. Jury's still out.


Mine won't be nearly as cool. But it'll get done this time. Sooner.

















The challenge today on 365 Cards was to use a tag on your card.






I used up some scraps that have been in my drawer for a while.






There is a bit of Little Yellow Bicycle, some other unknown bits of paper and I don't know the larger background paper.






The stamps are Unity. I am in the monthly club. AND holy moly is it ever a great deal.






You really have to check them out.






A little random bling and a scrap of fiber.





















I also worked on a couple of Christmas albums from last year.






One for my mom and one for my sister.






I will show you them in a couple days.






Or weeks. We'll see how it goes.












Thanks for looking.
