#ABCAPRIL2026, Day 5 E

Day 5 E - envelopes, embellishments, and Edith 

My project today started with junk mail - an envelope. 


I added embellishments and more envelopes
and tucked goodies, including a coin envelope, into the pockets
Whale tail tab, also embellished. Figure 5 - because E is the fifth letter of the alphabet. 
and Edith.

#ABCAPRIL2026, Day 4 D

We are on day 4 of #abcapril2026 and today's letter is D. For my project today I've created an accordion-style tag book with Dangles, Dies and Digital files. Hope you like. 

I started with a digital file from Museful Creations. All the butterflies and tags are from this file.

For my hinges, I used fabric and sewing. This idea was inspired by Amity Bloom on you tube. She makes some beautiful journals, I recommend checking out her channel. 
Not only a dangle, but a dangle with a D. Haha.

Lace pocket with bitty tag. 

I've also used lots of pieces from the 29K Freebie file by Crafty by Toni.

First 'page' of side 2.


If you haven't joined #abcapril2026 yet, jump in! We'll be creating 6 days a week all month. You can find all the info at the you tube channels of Crafty by Toni, and Margreth at Sevenplaza.

#ABCAPRIL2026, Day 3 C

It's Day 3 of ABCApril2026, which means our prompt for today is the letter C. I have combined several 'Cs' in my project. I've used old credit cards, castle photos from my River Cruise trip, circles, and charms. 

The gorgeous paper I used for this one is a digital file by Sevenplaza. I also used one of the dangles I made in Mass Make March. I thought the charm with the two ladies was perfect for this as the River Cruise was my sister and I. 


I love making mini books from things I have on hand. These no-good cards were perfect for my C idea today.

We saw sooooo many castles. These few are all along the Moselle and Rhine Rivers. 



Maus Castle is called the "mouse" castle because it is smaller than the larger Katz "cats" Castle which was built by a feuding lord who wanted to show up the other guy. LOL

#ABCAPRIL2026, Day 2 B

#abcapril2026, Day 2B - Birds

From another beautiful digital kit, these birds and background papers are by Tattered Paper Rose Co. on Etsy. Aren't they so lovely? There is so much more to this kit and I have been, and will continue to use it for some time. Highly recommend this seller.





 

A new month, and a new series!! #ABCApril2026

You may remember I participated in the abcapril2025 series, and I'm so glad that Toni and Margreth are doing this again this year. I am late posting Day 1A, but here you go anyway. I'll also post today's project as well in a separate post. 

Day 1 #abcapril2026, A - Arches

Tags with pictures I took when my sis and I took our River Cruise in November. So many arches in so many cathedrals and so many pictures!! Here are just a couple of them:
