My 2 Works in Progress

To go along with remodeling the house I have thrown in some crafts to do in my down time. I'm currently working on this tinkerbell paperbag album. I am loving the way the flower turned out after all the work I put into it. It was easier than I thought. And I'm working on a halloween cross stitch freebie that I don't have a picture of because I just started it. There will be more to come though!

I'm feeling tropical in these 100 degree temps!

Today I just had to get some stitching done. I was digging through my stash and came across this mini Bucilla kit I picked up at Michaels forever ago. Started stitching and couldn't put it down. And I was still able to get some cleaning done before picking the kids up from school.

Instead of using the plastic frame that came with it I found this tuck ornament I bought of ebay to stuff it in. To me they seemed destined for one another :0)

Boo!! EEK Scream........Halloween!!!!

Can you guess what all those lovely paper packs are for!! You guessed it....Halloween mini albums. I pulled out the paper, the embellishments and my cricut so that when the kids go back to school next week I am going into full scrapbook mode (ok I can do the laundry and cooking too but that's where I draw the line! ) I picked up Ghost and Goblins and Harvest Gathering this week at Joanns (sad they were out of the sticker packs) and the other 2 I picked up last year after Halloween. Can't wait to get those creative juices flowing!!

New storage for my Cricut Cartridges

My sweet hubby picked up this great storage container for my cricut cartridges from Joanns. It holds 16 cartridges which is great because I mostly use my SCAL to cut on my cricut. This little diddy fits in my scrapbook bag so I can take it with me on my scrapping journeys!!

Flower Power Board Book and Paper Bag Albums

While I was on vacation in between the stitching I also got some scrapbooking done once we got back home to my craft room. This was very fun to make. With the leftover supplies and cuts from the paperbag album I made a 4x4 mini board book album from an children's board book. Both were fun to piece together. I already have a couple more kitted up to start once the kids go back to school.

Are you feeling Froggy?

Making mini albums is one of my favorite scrapbooking things to make. I picked up the album for $0.50 and the paper/sticker kit I picked up for $1. It was a fun album to make. I can't wait to gift it!

Vacation Stitching Part 2

Two more of my vacation stitching finishes. These were fun to stitch. Top one is a freebie from Lizzie Kate called Hello Spring. Bottom one is a Zipper Kit by Bent Creek called Summer. I didn't add the buttons when I took the picture.
