I haven't heard a peep from anyone about anything I've posted for quite some time!! I would love some comments and maybe you guys could tell someone else about my blog? Cool....have a great night!

Pocket Mini-Album & "Made it Myself" Blog Hop Entry

I saw a book like this while I was surfing around and absolutely fell in love with the look of it. I found a fabulous UTube that explains how to create this step by step, including the measurements. I will say, this is one project where precise cuts and scores are essential! The book is made using chipboard and cardstock, pockets are created and you put tags and mini-books in those slots. If you're giving this as a gift you could choose to leave it blank and let the recipient fill it or you can choose to fill it for them. I think this turned out really cute - it was time consuming, but I think worth it. If anyone is interested in a link to the UTube I found, drop me a note and I will email that right to you!!


I'm going to enter this into a blog hop - "Made it Myself" Monday! The button, if you also want to enter this hop is on the left side of my blog. There's lots of talent in the buttons there!!











As you can see, I was short by one ring for the binding, but it will have 3-rings when I'm done. This was a lot of work, but I love how it turned out!! Hope you enjoyed it!!

And Even More....


More Scrapbook Pages



Box of Pictures!

I found a box of pictures from when I was a kid and when my kids were little!! Imagine the memories!! I decided I needed to at the very least get the descriptions written on the back but I've been so inspired that I've been creating pages between documenting the pictures!

Last Post!!

The weather is starting to get warmer. Here's a picture of some beautiful tulips to celebrate Mother Nature...they make me smile...

Avatar

I love the movie Avatar - I've had it for a while and never had a cover for it.  I finally gave Avatar a home!!

More Cards

I made the decorations on the paper I used with the Black Magic technique....they turned out beautiful. I even decorated the insides!!


Mini-Albums

I created these cute little albums using paper and hair accessories! I think they are perfect for making very specific albums, like the first year of school, or Little League or just about anything. I made one for each of my grandkids. I think they turned out really cute!


Crystal sun Catcher

I made this sun catcher for my cousin's wedding. The red one is for my cousing, the multi-colored one i have hanging in my window...such great rainbows!!

Butterfly Card

I created the Butterfly on my Cricut...it was 7 layers. I'm not happy with the center tho. If I ever do this again, I will emboss the center before I put it together.

Paper Flowers

I made these flowers using 1 1/2" circles folded and curled. I haven't perfected the process yet, but once I do, I think these will be really pretty to use.

Spinner Card

I made this card at a recent swap so I can't take credit for the design, but I love it! You could use it for any number of events to encourage someone or give them kudos for an accomplishment.

I just cut a whole bunch of different things today. I haven't used any of them yet, but I do have plans for them. I'll post pictures of each one as soon as they are in a completed project.





Birthday Card


This is a card I made for my niece, Zoe...I call her ZipZapZodiac and she just turned 10! A double digiter! I haven't seen her for a couple years now but I"m sure she's growing up to be a great kid!! I miss her and her family terribly!! Happy Birthday Zoe!!
