♥ just sharing ♥

some cards created with OA Woodland Park today.  i needed a couple of cards and wanted to play with some more of the gorgeous Woodland Park.


i have been playing with flat-mailable designs this week, specifically for sending the cards through the mail, while still having the "handmade pop"


may wonderful things card



  and here you can see how "flat and mailable" this card is

 

and here is another flat-mailable card

unforgettable moment in time card










and then i decided to "play" with the peacock stamp in the Woodland Park line.  i thought it would be fun to die-cut some "stamps" from the various patterned papers



 paper stamps card






 i chose to add buttons to this card because i was hand-delivering it but you could certainly leave as-is so it, too, would be flat/mailable.



i hope you have a beautiful, blessed day.

hugs & so much love!

for my project today, i chose to create a mini album using the new Here and Now pages






 woodland park "play" album




i cut the butterflies straight from the pp


 



 you're gonna love these brads, they're absolutely beautiful

 




i wanted to stitch the word "play" negative on the front of the cover, so i traced, lightly, with pencil onto the page, then stitched the tracing, erased the pencil and added some dimension to the word.


 

and here are some of the inside pages of my album
page 1





  i love, love the stickers in this line, they are happy and for everyday life.  love the bike and that flower scallop trim sticker.....swoooon

 




 page 2

 



 i LOVE these bunnies









page 3




 washi tape





 and tidbits






page 4








 cute turtles too?

 






page 5






 it's fun to stitch a clear pocket over the journal tags and fill them with fun confetti of all kinds.  i also cut one of the journal tags in half and adhered the pieces to both sides of my picture.



 




 page 6





 the journal cards make fun picture mats too for the album-sized pics






 i love this pre-printed banner here and now page, was so fun to embellish
