vintage journal

Here's a quick altered composition book that I made for a co-worker for Christmas. I love how it turned out. I inked and stamped some of the pages. I also added some scripture vellum through out the pages and made a pocket on the inside cover. I almost want to keep it! :)

Project Life

Cleetus has inspired me yet again. I think I'm going to give Project Life a shot! :)

My Mojo is flowing!!

This was the 1st Sketch Challenge.

 I got a good bit accomplished this week while off on vacation!

I'm so excited! They are having an awesome crop in Dilly Land. It's a wonderful way to get my mojo going. I hope to get a good bit more completed tonight and tomorrow.

This was the "bad picture challenge". Haley had her eyes closed in this one.

This was the "family picture challenge". Now I've got to buy more scrapbooks because I have no albums for all these layouts to go in. Oh well.. just another excuse to buy more stuff...haha!

Shoe Box Album {a work in progress}

I've had so much fun working on this project. I call it my {shoe box album}. Although I did get the "idea" from twopeasinabucket. Kerry Barker used a 7 Gypsies library tray to make her's but it's Christmas and I need to conserve so I just used a shoe box. If I ever do another one, I will use a baby shoe box. (:

Tags using Close to my heart Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge and dyed doilies. I'm going to incorporate more journaling spots/pages next.

The pattern paper is from Stampin Up.



A little pocket with a tag inside. I'm half way finished. I hope to be finished in a few days.

Sketch Night Layouts

I played this weekend. Scrapadilly was having their November Sketch night. I {heart} sketches. It's a no-brainer. AND... that is exactly what I need! I'm a slow scrapper and it takes all the guess work out for you. Besides, I could never come up with amazing layouts on my own.. :)

Addams Family Crop

 I joined the website Scrapadilly where a lot of my old cyber scrapping buddies from Creating Keepsakes used to be. I am so excited to be reconnected with some of them! They are holding a online crop called The Addams Family Crop until Oct. 31. I did manage to get 3 scrapbook pages in this week in between work, cleaning, etc. etc. Making scrapbook pages has always been a "challenge" for me because I am so slow at it. I usually have to look for ideas for the longest time before deciding what to do/make. This scrapbook page is a scraplift from Jana Eubank. I love to scraplift!!

On this layout I had to use a "bad picture". This is not the best picture of my daughter because you can't see her entire face but I love her shadow on the hay bail.

Sweet and Simple

Lastly I had to create a layout of something I love. Of course I can't just choose one, so I chose family, reading and M&M's. 

Treat Boxes

I'm so proud of my daughter. She made these treat boxes for her BFF's. It just melted my heart when she told me she wanted to do it. :)

witches brew

I made Cathy a little boo basket this week. I felt like scrapping something "Halloweeny". :)

 I also got to play with her Close to my Heart Art Philosophy Cart.

I altered a tea box to make the basket and made a ribbon bow. I love the holidays!!

My dream desk

Tonight I was browsing the internet for storage space ideas and came across this desk on bhg.com! I have finally found my dream desk!! Isn't it lovely?!? Wow!
