Lil' Tree of Gift Card Holders

I just put the finishing touches on this order of 15 gift card holders for a client. She is going to insert gift cards from various retailers into these fancy little frames, as presents to family and friends. This was truly a fun project, as I challenged myself to make each one just a tad different, and I used up scraps of paper from Christmas projects gone by. These are $15 each, there is still time to order yours!

 
 

Springtime Storybook

I put this pre-made cutie together on Monday, while trying to ignore the winter weather outside my window. It is always therapeutic for me to bury myself in beautiful paper!

This type of album is left blank for a recipient to add their own memories. This one is particularly girlie, perfect for a graduate to add photos from her senior year friendships!

Pic Tip of the Day - Proper Storage

The most convenient place for a stockpile of photos (such as a basement or attic) is often the most unfavorable place to store them. It's best to keep your photos and albums in a room that's relatively well ventilated and doesn't have dramatic temperature fluctuations.

Store photos in a cool, dry, dark place that's safe from hazards such as pet damage and flooding. A closet, chest, or cabinet (with the prints in a box that controls light and air exposure) extends the best resolution. For heirloom pictures, consider a fireproof box.
