Finally Finished







I have been very busy with finishing school and getting my house back in order after Thanksgiving. I have also been working a new album for some time now and it is also finished. This is a pink toilet paper roll album that I got the idea off of youtube and I made one for a daugther. I cannot remember the name of the paper that I used but everything can in a kit. I used FolkArt Metallic Rose to paint the whole toilet paper roll inside and outside. I made little tage that go in the openings out of manila folders and the butterflies are from K&Company. Hopefully within the next day or two i will have aanother finished album that I have. I have 3 other albums besides the almost finished one that I am working on as well. There are going to take some time. They uploaded backwards so it goes back to front. :)

Busy, Busy.

I have been so busy lately it is unbelievable. I have started on my husbands and I love album. I have also started on a album for my daughter that is all pink. I was looking through my paper and found a kit that was only half used so that is the 2 projects that I have going on right now. I really need to finish my layouts that need to be put in a scrapbook. I have now decided to become the secretary for Girl Scouts here in my town and that is another thing that has been keeping me busy. Plus I am almost done with school. I only have 3 more weeks and I get my associates in Medical Transcription. I have also been job searching. So hopefully this weekend I can finish a mini album to share with everyone. God Bless.

Last Post

I uploaded the pictures backwards so the bottom pictures are of the 2 mini ablums I made for the girls. Then its the front of the fabric album and then all the pages and then the back cover. Hope everyone enjoys there day and God Bless.

Final back on track.













So we have all got over being sick so I have had time to finish up what I call my fabric album. I can not remember everything that I used on this album due to the sickness and busy life. By all of the fabrics I used I got them from a friend and now have 2 tote tubs full of fabric. The important part is I got it done and ready to show everyone. I was also working on a toilet paper roll album that I seen on YouTube and I don't remember the lady's name at this moment to give her credit but as soon as I find out I will edit it in. But that album didn't work out so well because someone took it off my scrapbooking table and it got wet. I was making it like a brag book for a friend of mine for her 4 children. I also made mini ablums for the same friends 2 oldest daughters and finish them as well. So my next project is to do a Love album for my husband and I. Then afer that I have to make agraduation album for my brother girlfriend who graduated in May of this year. So I hope you enjoy and may God bless.

Update

I have been fighting with the stomach flu and some kind of sickness that is only a headache and a fever for 2 weeks off and on. I feel better but each one of the kids has been sick as well. Now it has came back for a second or third round in my house. My youngest who is 4 has now got it. We are hoping to kick this out of our house soon and everyone is back to good health. so with that being said you can only guest that the next thing I am going to say is that I have not had a chance to scrapbooking while dealing with all of this. I am still in the process of trying to finish the mini scrapbook I have been talking about hopeful in some of my down time this week I can finish that and of course after everyone is do being sick. So please keeping looking for it hopefully it will be done in the next week.

My first mini album









I worked all day yesterday on 2 mini albums but this is my first one ever and the other one is not finished yet. I cannot tell you what paper brand I used because I don't remember and all I remember is that I got it at Hobby Lobby. I used my Cricut (Don Juan) to cut out all of the tags and the designs on the last page. The stamps that I used I bought from a yard sale. I used yarn and fabric to make the ribbon. I used Chestnut Brown and other colors to chalk the edges from EK Success. I hand drew the lines that are on the tags. I hand made all the flowers with the fake kind you can buy at Wal-Mart and brads.I used paper embellishments tht I got in a kit a while back I also cant tell you the name of them either because I dont remember. But here are the pices of the album going from front cover to back cover.
Hope everyone has a great day.

Up and Running again.



I would like to share with everyone a scrapping box that I found at http://imageevent.com/littlecs7/projectofthemonth/srcrapbookinabox I do not take any credit for her idea but I did make may own and I wanted to share it with everyone. I followed her steps and used my Cricut and used the Disney Pooh font Set to decorate it. I then added my own touches by putting in pictures of all four of my kids and then a family picture in the bottom. I decorated the outside ( I can not tell you the name of the paper that I used right off hand)and I used Burnt Sienna and Chestnut Roan Color Box fluid Chalk inkpad for the edges, I also used the extra cards that were left over from making the project and I used the above mentioned inkpads for the edges and then I used a flower stamp (do not know the brand or collection it was given to me)to stamp the corners, I then drew my own journaling lines on the extra cards front and back. She ha it named as the scrapbook in a box, I put on the outside Memory box.I out it all together and the extra cards fit into the box at an angle and the top fits perfect and everything goes together. I gave this box to my mother-in-law as a gift and she loved it. Once again this was not my idea but the lady's idea that is listed above I just personalized it to my effect.

Trying to update.

I know it has been some time since I last updated my blog but I have been very busy. I have just finished my last few classes in school and I am now ready to do my externs. I have also went camping and have celebrated a few birthdays within my household. I am also having issues within my family and that is getting very stressful. Don't worry it's not between my husband and I or with the kid or exs or anything like that. Then my computer stopped wanting to transfer pictures off of my printer which has slots for the SD cards and such so you can print them right off of the card and that is the only way that I can upload pictures to my laptop to share with everyone and organize then so that I can print and scrapbook them later down the road.So that is what I have been doing since the last time I updated my blog here. Next the things that I have started doing this week so far (its only Monday) is making cards, a really cool scrapbook box, and a few pages that I am trying to finish up for the year 2007 and that album will be done soon hopefully. I hope to get several scraping things done this week before my externs because I don't know what to expect and I probably won't have the time to do much. As soon as I can figure out away to put pictures on my computer besides using the cool now broke printer I will post some of the projects that I have been doing.Thanks for looking.

Layouts that I have done recently.






The top picture is for my daughters baby album for when she was 8 months old.
The bottom picture is of my baby shower that I had when I was pregnant with her. I still need to add a few touches to this one and also some journaling.
