♥ here and now ♥


good morning.  how are you?  ready for the 4th?  
i love celebrating the 4th with the kids, they are so much fun and love the fireworks.   it's not any one huge thing, it's the little things, like creating 4th of July tee shirts with fabric paints and markers or trying on 4th of July beads, you know, just to make sure they fit, i love my babes.

yesterday was my day to post on the OA Blog.  this week we are featuring projects using the new Cakewalk Here and Now Chapter pages.  Today's Monday challenge is to create a project other than a mini using the Here & Now Chapter pages.


Oa here and now






I chose to create gift card/cash gift pockets with some of the pages from my "Here and Now" album.  I scored the pages at 3 1/2" and began stitching, trimming, and layering them with the fun embellies from the Cakewalk line.

 The "B" sides are just as cute as the "A" sides too, with fun grids, gingham and patterns


Assortment

With two of the album pages, I decided to create a clear confetti pocket and fill it with OA embellies before stitching closed.  It feels like a party in a bag and the little tid bits can move around

12 card




9 card

After stitching the chipboard balloon, I tucked it into the pocket also before stitching closed.  Once the pockets were stitched closed, I adhered the tin pin to the front of the pocket.

Some of the pockets open from the side too because of pre-printed patterns on the pages.

  3. Danni, I always love your work more so because you always bother to take time and effort to sew the sides and use it as an embellishment tool. I'm inspired!
