Ethereal Mini Album

Hi friends, 

today I am sharing with you the sweetest little Ethereal Mini Album made with Items from Reneabouquets!

I incorporated items to make a soft and tender looking book that will be a very special keepsake.
On the cover:  A Victorian Heart Doily tops the paper covered Beautiful Board Tag. I also added elements to complete this cover with whimsy; the butterfly on the lower right cover is from printed Beautiful Board, and comes as a set with other pieces, including the tag. The silver crown and fairie are reminiscent of children's story books, which always inspire me. To ground this cover I cut pieces of the Beautiful Board Heart Lattice, Roses topped with Glass Glitter and Moonstones, a small skeleton leaf filled with champagne Micro beads, and the heart is covered with the glitter and beads, and topped with a gorgeous Tiny Treasures Sweet Pea Baby Blue Premium Paper Glitter Glass Butterfly

The book opens with a vintage bow topped with a  White Pearl And Rhinestone Button.


 For the Spine and Back cover of this Mini Album, I wanted to continue the garden-like feel. I covered the spine with Ivory Wide Floral Embroidered Lace, small beautiful board gears, a gorgeous Pendant blue dragonfly, and the back cover also was adorned with a beautiful printed Beautiful Board fairie, as well as a carefully placed piece of Beautiful Board heart lattice.


 The inside of this book is equally adorned using beautiful pieces to complement the cover. On this page: Scrolls top off the embroidered Ivory lace, layered with the Beautiful Board Victorian Snowflake clock, a delicate butterfly, and a small gear topped with a moonstone. The delicate little roses and leaf all work together for a shabby look that helps tell the story in this album.


 Here you see that every snippet of lace can be used. Especially if topped off by the Cotton Candy flat-back pearls...


 This delicate page has a border of lace topped with an altered clip that has a center of Champagne Microbeads as well as Glitter Glass panels, and a small Moonstone bead tops off the itty bitty gear.

  The Chunky Glitter glass helped me top off this dragonfly clip, and on the opposing page, a small yellow butterfly tops off a pocket adorned with a border piece of Vintage Lace.

 This small Heart clip also shines with Glitter Glass as it tops off a shabby belly band of layered tattered papers. This compliments the opposing page nicely, as it adds sparkle against the softness of the vellum shaker flip tag.

  Lastly, another little star topped with glitter. This completes this post, and I hope that you have enjoyed the examples of how you can incorporate these products into your book making. As always, thank you for your time, and I hope that you can Be inspired, Be Blessed!

Boy oh Boy!!



Hi all, 
This is a beautiful mini album made with my Cricut Explore Air 2, and several different Design Space Files. I used several types of papers, including some Corrugated Specialty paper from DCWV for the spine. The cover even has a Hot air Balloon that is also a Shaker!!


I was so happy with every page in this book, and made each with a different style, keeping it all in primary colors, suitable for any type of picture. All of the pages have plenty of room for pictures, as they each have tabs that allow mom to keep special pictures inside.

The front cover has the "Special Delivery" message, and the little joey is holding a kite with string. The front page has a wonderful little airplane, with a dimensional sticker, and the frame inside of the pocket has banners with small stars between each piece. 
I also created interactive pages with a removable Giraffe, tags for journaling, and a removable book with a peekaboo window.

Other pages even have a touch of texture with a clothesline, embossed hills, and hand-colored water scene where a whale is splashing away. The shell on the little snail even got a touch of oxide inks, and hand-doodling.
I love giving my projects a personal touch, and the pictures really do not cover it all. So watch my video for an even closer look!

Be inspired, Be blessed! Raquel 


Mother's Day Shaker Card, and Cricut Design Space Simple Mother's Day Card


Thank you so much for stopping by! You may be here because you were watching my youtube channel, or because you've seen one of my pictures regarding a card or project on Instagram, or Facebook.
Whichever may be the case, I thank you for stopping by,  and here is a small video showing you some of the cards I made for Mother's day. (This post is rather late, but I want to make sure that all of my videos and projects are listed here for reference.) If you have not yet seen it, then following are some pictures and descriptions.


This card began as a Simple Mother's Day Card from the Cricut Design Space Make It Now projects , and I finished it with a small rose doily, a large white doily, some pretty blue birds, and some sequins and twine. The original design looked incomplete when I finished it, so I gave it my own twist! I also added Ranger Liquid Pearls to the birds to accent their details.

I used rolled roses which I made and Martha Stewart flowers in peach.

This card was very easy to make using several dies from my stash, and an Anna Griffin Embossing Folder: Reflected Damask. I used Ranger Distress ink in Abandoned Coral to bring out the embossing in the paper.
I also used a border em bossing folder for the inside of the card. and finished it by layering several dies, a cabochon I made with a mold and painted in Martha Stewart Gold Acrylic paint, and I made it into a shaker using Gold colored Tulle and several sequins and beads.
Here is the video where you can see the results! Thank you for stopping by and be blessed!

Here's my latest project!
