Brand NEW Printable Seed packets, NEW Garden Pocket Art Mini Album & Tutorial!

Wow, that was a lot to say in the title of this post!!  A lot to share with you all in one post too!!

Brand NEW to Sherri's MyBestiesShop.com is My Besties Printable Seed Packets shop here and Printable Garden Time Pocket Art shop here!

You can make this amazing Mini Flip Book with the two printables above! 

Another DT, Heather Clarney inspired and challenged me to make a Mini Album 

using a Youtube video tutorial.
Click here to see the basic ATC Sized Mini Album video instructions.

I changed up the "flip" pages by using the NEW Printable Seed packets.  

Here is the mini album cover and pages and below the book is the instructions for changing out the inside flip pages!

 Front cover- Garden Pocket Art turned 3D

 Binding and side view of the 3D image

Full Cover- Front, binding and back

Inside front cover using  NEW seed packets and Garden pocket Art.

*Tip- attach a shank button to the cover by punching a hole and adding a paper clip backing.

First flip page.  Seed packet flips to the back (unlike the youtube video)

 (*clothes pin is holding the pages open so i can take photos)

Each page has a seed packet and a pocket art printable

Tutorial for adding the seed packet to the pocket sleeve:
**If you would like your seed packet to fit like shown in the photos, make sure that your printable measures 10" tall.

 1. Cut out your seed pack and glue the left flap so that it goes inside of the sleeve as shown below.

2. Then glue the sleeve flap (right side and bottom fold) *Make sure you don't glue the left side so that you can attach it to the book binding

Glue the seed packet together to make the "pocket"

You should now have something that looks like this:

The open end you can see above will now slide over the binding strips below and your "flip" page will look like this when opened on this side.

The page will look like this when opened on the reverse side.

 Room for a photo and journaling. Seed packet can hold a card with more photos.

Seed packet Paper Clip Art- Reduce the original Printable Seed packets so that the front measures about 1". Glue the paper clip inside the seed packet and then glue the sides.

Easter bonnets & Little Miss Pepper! Free Sentiments!!

It is so exciting to share this sweet new image101 called, "Me & Little Miss Pepper" in two different formats!  

This sweet image was created by Sherri Baldy after she saw DT Antoinette's dog wearing an Easter bonnet that Antoinette created for her Little Miss Pepper.  

Isn't Little Miss Pepper adorable???

Here is the card i colored, with the idea, that i wanted my doggie to look like Little Miss Pepper and the My Besties girl to be like Antoinette.  

 Link to image 101 here.

Little Miss Pepper is such an adorable dog that Sherri now has Little Miss Pepper as a 2" printable.  I thought i'd make a paper clip art card using the image.  The paper clip can be used as a planner bookmark too!

***The printable has the reverse image so you can have a two-sided image.

Printable called March Printable BK1 is available here:

Freebie sentiments just for you!

Easter in a Suitcase

Hello everyone!  Today I have a very special project

that I have created for my granddaughter.

This is my suitcase Easter basket.

I started with a small premade suitcase that was found at a discount

 department store by a friend of mine.  

You could use a shoe box or any box with a lid to make a suitcase.

Think outside the box.

My Easter banner is just banner flags cut with small slits to

run twine through and hung to each side of the lid.  I used

some metallic stickers from my stash to spell out Easter.

I found some raffia ribbon in these pastel colors

and just had to make a bow for the top.

The adorable digi stamp girl and the basket in the paper sugar egg

is img098.  You can find her HERE

We couldn't forget the carrot for the bunnies.

This box is a cutting file from My Scrap Chick

You can find it HERE

This sugar egg is just so sweet and I just had to add the basket inside

to be peeking out.  It was just the right size to hold this part of the image.

This is from My Scrap Chick also and you can find it HERE

Each file comes with a picture tutorial for you to piece it all together.

Add some grass and put in your goodies and you have

a suitcase basket.

Thank you for

having a look!

See you next time.

We LOVE Papercraft Essentials,  they always include special gifts when you purchase the magazine and MANY downloads when you check their site online!

Here is the magazine cover you need to look for:

You might miss this cover at the newstands/bookstores because the gifts cover this issue so also be on the look out for this package showing the "free gifts" with this issue:

Some information on how to "find" this issue to purchase:
1. You can order directly from the magazine seller by clicking here
 The prices are in British Pound Sterling, if ordering outside of the UK, the money will be adjusted  based on daily exchange.  (Example: 3 issues purchased to be shipped within 8-10 days to the USA including shipping is around $40)

2. Several retailers in the USA are known to offer UK Papercraft Essentials magazine in their store.  The current magazine can take about a month to arrive in the USA.  I am not sure how long it will take to other countries outside of the UK.  The magazine will reflect the exchange rate also.
