A Collage Album....

I realized today that I completely forgot to share a fun album I created last month for, www.ideasforscrapbookers.blogspot.com I gathered random pieces...such as my Christmas card, a pretty checkered gift sack from a boutique. I cut raw sheets of chipboard in to pages of various sizes and covered them with a mix of holiday papers...punched holes for binding rings and added all the photos, embellishments and journaling. Simple and effective! It was a wonderful way to make a fun album about our Christmas at Brasada.

And, lastly....a layout I did a while back playing with some new Elle's Studio . I layered several of her journaling cards around my photo. I just love the aqua and brown deer card and that super cute picture of Duffy and his little black olive (aka. nose..hehe)

Wishing everyone a lovely weekend! Check back on Monday to see what our Creative Team Member, Leslie Ashe has created for us to be inspired by!!

Monday Creative Team Feature: Amy Priddy!

Welcome our Creative Team member, Amy Priddy of Priddy Creations! Amy specializes in custom camera accessory totes and camera straps. I know you are going to love what she has created for us today! But before we get to the eye candy, let's get to know Amy!

I am the proud mama to three kids (ranging from 6 years old to 10 years old) and have been married to my best friend for the past 16 years. We live in Southeast Texas with our two dogs and two cats. I am extremely blessed to be able to work from home doing something that I love!! Before that, I worked in the legal field for 10 years. I am what my hubby calls a "Jack of all trades" but I truly love designing and sewing. I have dabbled in scapbooking, jewelry making, photography and digital graphics. However, my true love is one with fabric and all things that can be made with it! My business, Priddy Creations, consists mostly of camera accessories, bags and other small accessories. Occasionally you will see a few baby items. You can find me on Etsy (http://www.priddycreations.etys.com) and through my website (http://www.priddycreations.com). I really enjoyed designing around Tessa Ann's gorgeous buttons and am looking forward to doing it again. I hope that my designs, along with Tessa Ann's creative buttons, have inspired all of you!

I was delighted when Amy requested to work with my "Oh, Snap!" camera-inspired buttons! This button set was perfect for embellishing the camera accessories she is sharing with us here today. Enjoy and most of all...be inspired!

Amy created a CF/Business card wallet. This wallet is perfect to safely store your extra CF cards, as well as a stylish accessory to carry your business cards in. I love how she adorned the front of the wallet with the solid black button and the silver/black star button. It compliments the polka dot and damask beautifully!
Amy will have this little gem available for purchase today in her Etsy shop!

Amy created a beautiful comfy camera strap. I love the damask print she chose! This too will be up on her website for sale today! I am sure it won't last long :)
