There is plenty of eye candy, an there will be plenty of prizes for commenters hidden along the way.

Make sure to leave a comment along the whole blog hop for a chance to win!

If you came from SONY'S blog, you are in the right place. If not, head back to Julee's blog and start at the beginning of the celebration! If you are lost, you can always go to the Master Link to find your way!

I only have one project to show off this year. I made a fun meander book. I am still addicted to these little books. They are so fun to make.

I started this one by stamping my 12x12" paper with an image from Let It Shine with versamark ink over and over and over again for a cute background:


I then put the little book together and made the cover with Basic Grey paper. I can't tell you the name of this series since I had won it from the Basic Grey challenge blog a while back. The stamped image is from Because of You. I so love this floral image. The sentiment is from the Wishing You set. Such great sentiments to use seperate or together!


I used a little image from Up Up & Away to stamp the tags.


I kept the pages really simple. Each page has a mat just big enough to put a 2.5x2.5" picture on. I alternated black and white for the mats. On the opposite of the picture mat, I put a Label 2 die cut that I stamped with the Vintage Label 2 stamp set from Waltzing Mouse.




I hope you like my little mini album. You can find it in my ArtFire Store.

Don't stop here, you are getting closer to the finish line!

Up next is TANIS.

Ippity Do Da Kind of Day!

I am participating in another week of Ippity Hop! Make sure to go check it out and leave some love to all the gals participating.

I wanted to share some cute little meander books I'm addicted to making right now! I use Martha Stewart Craftstock for the pages because that paper is SO stinkin thick! I know these books will last for at least a minute that way!
(I went to buy another MS craftstock paper pack on Saturday... and whoa is me... it is no longer being carried by Michael's :(... what do I do now? It was a 120 page package for just $14.99....I'm so bummed.)

The pages end up measuring 3"x3".
The photo mats on the inside pages are big enough to hold a 2.5"x2.5" photo and the tags are roughly 2"x2.5"

I have 2 to share with you today using IPPITY!

The front uses Ippity Moon Beams & Heart Strings for the stars and sentiment. I added mini rhinestones to each of the full stars on the cover for a little extra pizazz! I also added a rhinestone to the 'o' in ONE.

The inside uses the stars from the same set and the Nestabilites Label 1 with Waltzing Mouse's Vintage Label 1 coordinating stamps for a place for journaling or just naming people in the pictures or whatever! (SU taken with teal).
I didn't stamp the tags for this one, but stapled the ribbon to them instead of looping in through a hole.

The second book
uses the FAMILY stamp from the Life's Little Moments set. I also used a Unity stamp for the tag. It comes from Flirty Flowers. (Old Olive).I used the Nestabilities Label 1 along with the Waltzing Mouse coordinating stamp Vintage Label 1. (SU Taken with Teal)The green flourish on the inside is from SU's Vintage Vogue. (SU Old Olive). Think I used enough companies on this little book?!

P.S.
I opened an artfire account over the weekend. If you are interested in these books, or many of my cards, you can find them
