Baby Shower Scrapbook

2010-02-02T22:25:00.000-08:00

Here is a baby shower gift I'm working on for a friend I met through the infertility clinic. I wanted to keep it simple and clean. It is 8x8.

This is the cover page. It says: "a babe in your arms with all its charms undeniably from God".

Page two and three of the album. I left the journal strip blank so she can write in stats or whatever she wants.

I will post the rest as I finish them.

Moving

We are PCS'ing to England at the end of May. One of the joys of being a military family is getting hit with very sudden moves.

Adoption Journey Paper Bag Album

2010-01-12T10:02:00.000-08:00

I recently learned about this technique that takes paper bags aka lunch sacks and you can make it into an album. This is the cover page for our adoption album. The scanner blurred the left side due to the bulk of the flowers.

2010 Resolution Layout

2010-01-07T20:57:00.000-08:00

I'm participating in an online crop this weekend and one of the challenges was to scrap your resolution. The quotation at the top says Write it on your heart that every day is the best day of the year.

The tag under the photo is hidden journaling that says.

I love this layout and am excitedly looking forward to each and every day that 2010 brings. I used the cricut and Plantin Schoolbook cartridge to cut out the numbers and the big circle.

Birthday Card

2009-12-26T20:33:00.000-08:00

I made this birthday card for my birthday card exchange on scrapbook.com. This one is being mailed this week. First I stamped a Martha Stewart stamp on white cardstock. I colored it with pastel pencils that I kept from my college days. I knew they would eventually come in handy. I used decorative scissors to cut around the bird. Then I took green cardstock and ran it through my Sizzix Big Shot with a Cuttlebug embossing folder. I ran it through twice. The first time made a nice sharp embossed image but I wanted to see what a double-pressing would do. Both the Big Shot and Cuttlebug folder were purchased today at Michael's with a 50% off coupon and a gift card from my parents. I love this card. The embossing makes a huge difference in the looks.

Items Used: Pre-cut blank card in Ivory. Forest Green cardstock. White Cardstock. Martha Stewart Clear Bird Stamp. Staz-On Jet Black Ink. Pastel Pencils. Fixative. Cuttlebug D'Vine Swirl Embossing Folder. Sizzix Big Kick Embossing Machine.

Christmas Was Good To Me

2009-12-26T13:47:00.000-08:00

My family was very generous to me this year. They realize how therapeautic my crafts are and how important it is in dealing with depression. They went all out.

I got a Cricut Expression. I actually opened that at the end of October so I could use it to make cards. And I got a printer and scanner combo. I've already put it to good use and made 2 scrapbook pages yesterday afternoon. Plus they gave me a couple gift cards to Michael's.

I am all set and so thankful that they did this for me.

Cardmaking here I come!

Stamped Coasters

2009-12-20T13:13:00.000-08:00

I took several orders for stamped coasters today. After Church I headed to Lowe's to get the supplies. Now I'm thinking of possibly selling these on Shop Handmade and Etsy. I will need to research.

Busy with No Time to Scrap

2009-12-19T09:19:00.000-08:00

I've been very busy lately. I'm babysitting during the day to help a family out that we know and haven't had time to scrap much.

I'm also working on some stamped tiles to sell to the ladies in my Bible study. My gift was a hit and now I'm making up a few samples and taking orders tomorrow.
