Firecrackers

ignore the dust (:

Last year I made these fireworks. I used a wrapping paper roll because the cardboard was pretty thick. I used mod podge to adhere the paper then embellished with wire, ribbon, and embossed stars. They are a fun addition to our 4th decorations.

For Mom

So I wanted to make a special card for Mothers Day this year. When I saw these brag books at eighteen25(fun blog!) I thought they were perfect.

I didn't quite make it as much of a brag book as a super personalized card for them. I hope my mom and mother-in-law love them.

I made the smaller one 4 by 24 inches with 6 folds every 4 inches. And the larger 5 by 20 inches with 4 folds every 5 inches. I used the Serenade and Storybook cartridges for all the cutouts. I am loving these cartridges! The birds and branches are just too cute. I used my embossing powder to add all the black touches. I sanded the paper and used distressing ink as well.

Happy Mothers Day to all the Moms out there!
