Personalized Desk Organizer
Although the end-of-school is here, I'm
looking forward to August when my new job as
Administrative Assistant/Nurse begins!
Of course I'm all ready thinking of ways to get my desk
organized, so I picked up a cute wooden storage tray at
my local Dollar General. I will take in a lot of things such as
lunch money, notes, medicine, etc., so I thought it
would be a good idea to label some sections of the tray:
I've used a lighter woodgrain paper from the DCWV "Gilded Paper Stack"
and used my computer and printer to print off the words onto it. The words
were cut out to the width and height of the dividers.
Next, I placed the 9" Double-Sided Laminate into the Xyron Creative Station:
Before closing the lid, just make sure that enough of the laminate has been
sandwiched between the rollers as shown above.
When the lid is closed, you should see the end of the laminate between the rollers.
Next, the three sections of paper were placed onto the tray and rolled through.
The 3" Permanent Adhesive was placed into the Xyron Creative Station Lite
and adhesive was applied to the backs of each laminated card. Really rub
the adhesive well before removing the paper backing to ensure that it is well adhered.
Now I have one little area of organization ready for the new school year!

Xyron & Deep Red Stamps Hop
Welcome, welcome to day number four of the
XYRON & DEEP RED STAMPS HOP!
I was so excited to receive my set of adorable stamps
from Deep Red. I chose the "Little Cuties Thanks" rubber stamp set
to create this sweet card:
After stamping the girl image onto white Neenah cardstock and coloring in
with Prismacolor pencils, I carefully cut her out from the paper.
Next, I chose various patterned papers from Echo Park Paper and used
a fancy label die by Spellbinders:
To adhere the mats of patterned paper together, I used the Xyron Creative
Station Lite and the 3" Permanent Adhesive.
Once I was ready to assemble the card base, the 5" Permanent Adhesive was
placed back into the Creative Station Lite.
The sentiment was stamped onto a scrap of patterned paper and then
die-cut with a heart shape. I also used a couple of hot pink enamel dots to
complete the adorable card!

Post Mother's Day Album
Happy be-lated Mother's Day to all of my crafty friends!
I had the pleasure of crafting a very special mini album all about "mom" for
WE R MEMORY KEEPERS
For the pages of the album I decided to use a couple of sizes of the envelope shape,
so I grabbed the 1-2-3 Punch Board and a few of the patterned papers from the
so I grabbed the 1-2-3 Punch Board and a few of the patterned papers from the
"Flower Girl" Collection.
For the front and back covers, I selected the 7X7 card size and proceeded to cut, score
and assemble per the instructions on the punch board. Note: I left the TOP flap
unscored on all of the pages.
For the four inner pages, I selected the 6X6 card size.
Next, I used the Cinch Book Binding Tool and activated the 3, 6 and 9 levers (this will
allow punches at these areas only). All of the inner pages were punched at this setting.
Standard eyelets were placed in all of the punched holes and set with the Crop-A-Dile.
Three one inch rings from my stash were used to clip the inner pages onto the coil
binding of the front and back pages. When the album is lying flat, it flips easily for viewing!
To the pockets of the inner pages, I cut patterned paper to 5.5”W X 8.5”H for the
two larger pockets and 4.5”W X 7.75”H for the four smaller pockets. These are
nice places to add journaling, extra photos or clip on different ephemera and keepsakes. The pockets are also roomy enough to add extra tags or clippings to.
From the “Flower Girl” Card & Frame Kit, I selected various acetate frames and
attached them to the tops of the inner pocket inserts. Again, I used the green eyelets
and Crop-A-Dile for attaching. Different veneer pieces, puffy stickers and die-cuts
were added for decoration.

Moving on to the front/back covers, I went back and activated the levers 1-12 and
punched the sides of the two envelopes. The Gold 0.75” Cinch Wire was used to
bind the front and back pages together. I will show later on how I added the inner
pages to the Cinch binding!

Patterned papers were also cut to mat size and placed on the backs of the envelope
pages. These pages can accommodate a large 4X6 photo or a few smaller photos.
I used some different American Crafts Thickers from my stash to add extra-large words, as well as texture to the front page and the little banner flags above.
You may also think of using this style/shape mini album to design a house or home theme! With all of the pockets, it’s great for storing receipts, bills-to-pay, etc. By using the Cinch system, you can create well-made and professional looking mini albums and organizers. Mom would love to receive any type of these handmade gifts!
