My daughter rocks

So, last weekend, Isabella hung out with her Dad. They ran some errands and stopped at Lowe's for some sort of manly man stuff. I know that when that happens, Isabella says "Can I go look at the paint colors?" and we say yes because it makes her happy and we trust her not to run off with some cute older boy. LOL. So anyhoo, on Sunday night, we're watching the Oscars and Isabella says "hey mom, can I show you the fans I made for my friends?" I, of course, say sure. She pulls out a set of awesome mini paper fans. I think they're totally cool. But then, I ask her what they are made out of. She says "paint scraps" aka PAINT CHIPS FROM LOWE'S. Seriously. How cool is that? Not only does my girl rock the craft, she rocks the re-use too! Love these. And I'm sure her friends will too!

Getting my digi on…

I've been busy. Back in the saddle. Working my mojo. Whatever you want to call it, I've got it. I'm on a mission to complete some digi albums and be "caught up" on my chronological scrapping, so I'm working on 2007 and 2010. Weird, huh? Well, see, I thought 2007 was done so I finished 2008 and 2009, sent them off to Adoramapics, which was awesome by the way, got my photo albums back, was all excited, and then Isabella says "so, we're just skipping 2007?" WHAT?? There's no 2007 album on the shelf? Seriously? Oh my stinkin' heck. So, then I realize I really and truly have not scrapped the 2007 photos. Or the ones I did scrap were not digital. Or the digital layouts are gone in their original form and all I have left are the smaller web versions. Just suffice it to say, this should be a lesson to everyone to be careful with your backups and lack of backups and your trigger-happy delete finger. Ugh. But, I do like the new layouts so its all good.

The next two are 12x12 double layouts.

The next ones were created using digital products from Tami Miller. I love her designs and she's got her new shop open at Scrapbook Bytes. She's going to be adding a lot of kits over the next several weeks so check it out.

Have a great day!

Paper layouts… what the heck?

So, a friend of mine is going to be selling these gorgeous flowers from Thailand at a craft show in California. And Janet is one of the most giving, awesome-est people I know, so when she asked if some of us would like to make layouts for her booth, I was happy to say yes! These flowers are really neat. They come on floral stems so you can use them in all kinds of crafts, not just paper. But I loved the results on my layouts. Thanks for looking!

Belated Valentine’s Photos

So. Even though my mojo/groove/whatever you want to call it has been virtually nonexistent, I did go to a crop in January and make some cards and start a Valentine's project for my hubby. I finished it a couple of days before Valentine's and almost forgot to give it to him. Thank goodness Isabella brought down her handmade cards for us, which triggered my memory to go get this out of its hiding place in my craft room.

I don't know why my photos are blurry. I obviously had the camera on the wrong setting, but you can get the general idea since I'm lazy and don't want to go back outside and take them all again.

This project is based on a Carol Wingert class. If you subscribe to her mailing list, she will let you know when she has a new kit. And these kits are different because they are JUST PDF instructions and a supply list. Super cheap and you can use your own supplies. Carol's project had a gorgeous glass bottle on the front wrapped in linen and tulle. But mine was FREE except for the instructions because I had everything I needed in my craft room, including the red heart ornament that I've been hanging on to for four years. It was just waiting for the right project. I didn't even know I was going to use it until the last day I worked on the project. I was still thinking I needed a glass bottle, I looked up, and there was the heart on my shelf. Done.

The inside has a pocket on the left, and I want to thank Susan, from the January crop, for cutting the butterflies for me with her Cricut. The rest of the project is a mini-album on rings, attached to the back side of the old book cover. I love this idea and will do this again and again, I think.

And also for Valentine's, I participated in a magnet swap with some fabulous ladies in the SoulJournaling Yahoo Group. Here's a picture of my magnet tags.
