Mini Albums

I have been sick at home with pneumonia for the last week or so, and positively bored out of my mind!  So, I decided to find some "scrapspiration," if you will, and happened upon Laura Dennison's blog, The Paper Trail.  I watched a video of hers on YouTube and learned how to make a "Stack the Deck" mini album.  The pictures below are what I've done so far.  It still needs photos and embellishments to be finished.  It's a birthday gift for my mother.  It's a really fun and simple technique.  Thanks, Laura!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

This "On the Fridge" series frame is one that I created for a friend to put a photo of her granddaughter in for St. Patrick's Day.  I used patterns from Myscrapchick for the bears-too cute!  The whole layout measures 9x12 and slips inside an acrylic frame.

I recently also began working on a mini album for my mother's birthday-my first-and am loving the way it's coming out.  I used all old pictures from my childhood and a binding technique that I learned from Laura from Follow the Paper Trail.  I am almost done and will post pictures when it's finished.

Happy scrapping!

Happy New Year!

After all of the preparations and cooking and entertaining, the holidays have simply flown by!  Now it's time to un-decorate (which is significantly less fun than decorating is :( !)  I have been very lazy about updating my blog, but here are a few photos of recent projects I have worked on:

The top picture is a magnetic plastice frame for the fridge, Thanksgiving-theme.  I made a whole series of those in both Christmas and Thanksgiving themes to sell at a local craft fair this fall.  The last two are sample layouts from a friend's baby album.  Credit for the Thanksgiving patterns is to TreasureBox Designs.  The baby layouts feature patterns from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs.

Latest Baby Album

These are some pictures of my latest album.  I do not think my photography skills are the greatest.....have to work on that!

Newest baby album

I had so much fun creating this baby album for a friend.  The pictures do not do it justice.  Patterns for paper piecings are from Little Scraps of Heaven and Treasure Box Designs.  I just love how easy it is to make such intricate paper piecings with their patterns!

Scrap Mojo Returns!

Whew!  What a busy few weeks!  I have barely been able to keep up with my everyday life-never mind trying to find time to scrapbook!  This layout was made for a friend I work with who just recently became a grandmother.  I used the Treasure Box Pals Collection from Treasure Box Designs to make the animals, and I framed the whole page to be hung on a wall.  I like how it came out a lot!
