Teacher Scrapbook Mini Finish

I had so much fun putting this mini scrapbook album together for my sons teacher. I used DCWV School Stack and my cricut to cut the letters on the front. I worked on it here and there at night for a week. She loved it and it was hard to give it up! Tell me what ya think!

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!

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!

Brag Book Mini Scrapbook Album

I have finally got some scrapping done. I made this for a friend/co-worker as a gift for the arrival of her first grandchild. Paper pack is called Spring Fling. I almost didn't want to give it away. It is the size of a brag book.

More playing with the SCAL,and SVG files

The first flower I made using the cricut ink and then cutting, the second I cut and rolled the flower a bit and the 3rd is just a poinsettia with brads. Designs are freebies from google searching.

Playing with the SCAL, Cricut and the Ink...

Here are the results of messing around with my SCAL,cricut and the ink cartridges. The fish is a freebie I found through google somewhere.

A Small Chipboard Purse Finish

Another small chipboard I made for a friend. I might have to make another for me I liked it so much. I used a $1 album from Micheals and paper is DCWV All Dressed Up. My friend didn't want any embellishments just the basics.

An Independence Day Album

I started this before the house remodel and finally got a clear spot to do some scrapbooking. This is my 1st 4th of July scrapbook finish and I think I like it lol. It amazes me how a simple $0.70 board book can be made into a memory. I added a little bit of cookout and watermelon paper to it because what is the 4th without those 2 things. I will add the pics I took of the fireworks soon!

Paper Bag Spring Scrapbook Finish

Spring might be on its way out and Summer is coming but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy it. I started and finished this small scrapbook album last night. It is made from lunch bags and has 12 pages including front and back. I am just posting a few of the pages. I went a little flower crazy but isn't that what spring is all about?

Too Cute Sesame Street Cards

These were sooo easy to make and fun, minus the glue mishaps I always have. Glue is not my friend lol. I made 2 sets. I am thinking of seeing if the school needs one set for the 2nd Grade Carnival Raffle they are going to have. Haven't a clue what to do with the others but they were too cute not to make. Designs are from Paper Crafting with Kids magazine.

My New Scrapboooking goodies-Sea Glass

I am Happy Dancing because I found a Scrapbook line I fell in love with called Sea Glass. It might be something to do with the fact that BLUE is my favorite color. And then it could be the family trip we are planning to the keys inspired me. I picked up the paper and Accessories from Joanns fabric and the scrapbook from Micheals using my 50% off coupon. I will get more of the line from 123stitch.com using the gift certificates I have.

My Summer Exploding Box Finish

My scrapping buddy and I are always looking for new things to make and when I came across this one I knew I had to send her the link. Within a week I was a at her house and we were putting ours together. I picked a bright summery theme and am liking how it turned out. I have even kitted up a couple more themes to make when I have the time. (like Noahs Ark, sweet treats, 4th of July and soccer ones for the kids).

Disney Scrapbook 1st 4 pages

I started a Disney scrapbook for my sils trip to dianey with her husband and 3 of the kids. They had never been as a family and I've never seen her have a photo album so thought she would like something she could enjoy instead of something she has to dust. Here are the 1st 4 pages. One the 1st one I added a picture of all of them standing in front of the castle. The second page will have a picture of the baby giving tigger a high 5. The 3rd picture is of the baby carrying around a stuffed mickey mouse. And the last picture will be put on the page of the baby sleeping with mickey and winnie the pooh in his crib.

I'm not doing the pages in any order. I have more done but still have to take pictures of them. I accidently already added pictures to some before I could take pictures of the pages so you'll get to see some of the munchkins. I'm only making an 8x8 album because I find the 12x12 akward and hard to store.

Sanman Halloween Exchange

My Sanman partner has received her exchange so I can post my card finish. Silly me forgot to take a picture of what I put in it lol. I made the card and wrapped her package like a piece of candy. It was a fun exchange. Hers to me was just as nice and the kids liked taking all my goodies. Nicholas (4) took the skeleton gloves she sent and Stephanie (7) took the note pad and pencils. She loves drawing. I made another for my 123 stitch Halloween exchange but we are both behind on sending so I can't post that one yet.

Two Rockin' Scrap Finishes

Stephanie loves Camp Rock and instead of paying out for items that that will eventually go out of style I made 2 things for her homework area. The 1st was a recycled spagetti can and the cork buiietin board I bought new at the thrift store for $2.50. I used my Cricut machine to cut out the letters Camp Rock and did some painting for the rest. Now just to find some neat pins for the cork board and they will be good to go.

GeoCaching

I haven't gotton any stitching done at all in weeks. I have been scrapbooking with my friend Shay and Geocashing with her and her family. Besides the spiders, big black snakes and mosquitos we did alright. I popped this pick of my little monkey down at Reflections Park. Well if you call a dock and a lake a park then yeah the park lol. I can't believe school starts the 18th already. She starts the 2nd grade and Nicholas will be in pre-k. 3 hours with no kids, what will I do with myself.

With the bad influence of Shay my husband bought my a Cricut machine to scrapbook and make cards with. I explained that it would also be good forthe kids school projects when I cut out big letters and stuff. He was sweet and I so owe him. Just wait though I am almost done with my 1st paper bag album. Deana is making 2 at the same time. One for a friend and one for herself. I'll post mine here when I'm done. I did at least kit up a couple projects for stitching just in case I get the itch again soon. Later for now~

Summer Scrapbook Layout

I am always searching for new scrapbook layouts and I found this cool one on the net just in time for summer. Now to get to the beach to put it together and add some pictures lol.
