Merry Christmas to All....

Hi everyone,

Wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!! Here is the Christmas card that my family will be sending out. I made the SVG in inkscape, I think they turned out super cute. Then the SVG was cut out on my BLACK CAT (I just love this machine) using Bazzill Basics cardstock.

Thanks for looking. Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas season!!!

Bo Bunny CRUSH 4x6 Photo Storage Box

Hi Everyone,

I know it's been a while since we have added any NEW projects that My Design Team and I have been working on. We have been busy trying to get the website (www.bigideasfromthehearts.com) back up and running properly. The whole website has been a major headache and its still not done yet, URG!!!!

Well with all that being said here is the 4x6 Photo storage box made from the BO BUNNY CRUSH Paper line. It has 15 "folders" to hold 4x6 pictures. Each folder has an acetate tab that will fit a label, like the binder dividers that we had to use in school. This is great to take to a crop and have all of your photo already sorted for your layouts. The folders do NOT come out and the box is held closed with magnets from BASIC GREY. The magnets are small and thin but are mighty.

Products used: Bo Bunny Crush paper line, Bazzill Basics cardstock, Basic Grey magnets, Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist, Grafix medium weight chipboard, Prima roses, ZVA pearl bling Swirl, Scor-Tape, Red Ribbon, Black eyelets, Acetate, Tab punch and ATG.

New Website

Please everyone continue to be patient as we wait for the new website to be up and running smoothly. After buying the website earlier this year and wanting to make changes to it, our designers are still
 having problems with the site running like it should. Until they can get it running smoothly it will stay as a coming soon page. If anyone would like to order anything you can always email us bigideasfromtheheart@hotmail.com

Graphic 45 On the Beach Mini Album

Hi Everyone,

Here is a very simple quick mini my design team members made using Graphic 45 On the Beach 8x8 papers. It was super quick to do and didnt use very many embellishments other than the little starfish, jump rings, clear beads, acid free sand and the linen thread. Everything else was the paper. Here are the pictures......

Websters Pages Waiting for Santa Mini Album

Hi Everyone,

Heres another album that a design team member made forever ago and just now getting around to posting pictures. We still have a very few of these kits still for sale. She will be doing a youtube video for this one as well. This one has a canvas cover using Tattered Angels glimmer glam and glimmer mist on.
