I'M ON A ROLL!!!

I have finally finished up my scrapbooking room and my mojo was lost somewhere within there. I am on such a roll that I have now finish 3 things that I have had half finished for some time now.

One being the Daybook that I posted on here (still no pics but its done), and then I finished up 2 mini albums, one that was a tutorial from Kathy Orta on Youtube. Here is a photo of the one I followed with Kathy Orta a while back.

And here is the other one that I finsihed. I will do a Youtube video flip through on this one soon.

 I took these with my webcam sorry the quality of them are not that great.

I still have about 3 or 3 left to finish and that will be all of my unfinished projects and then I can start doing more layouts. I have though about doing videos from start to finish with layouts but I am also focusing on one thing at a time.

So that is all I have to share today, Hope everyone has a great Friday and a wonderful weekend!!!

If You Were A Camera Charger Where Would You Be......

I have been searching high and low for my Sony camera changer. It is my favorite camera to use for videos and taking pictures. I have a Kodak camera that I use only for when I forget my good camera and it stays in my purse. But it makes videos look really yellow. So in my latest Youtube video I had to talk really fast and flip through my Handmade Daybook quickly. So if you have and questions on that please message me on here or on Youtube.

It is very frustrating so I may have to start using my webcam to record videos until I find my charger!

So here is some photos of the Handmade Daybook with some embellishments in it. I might do another video when I get it filled with my pictures.

My First Handmade Daybook!

Today I finally finished a Handmade Daybook that I have been working on for a while now. It is just the base but its finished, now it needs the pictures and the embellishments. I am thinking of using it for a camping trip that we took either this year or last years.

You can buy pre-made Daybooks that are made by Amy Tangerine  or you can make your own.

Here is the front of the book.

The cover is acetate and I stamped it with StazOn ink in Jet Black and one of my cling stamps.

The book is made out of random scraps of paper that I had laying around and several different corner punches on every other page.

The back cover is also acetate and stamped with Stazon Ink in Jet Black.

I am now going to go and embellish it and hopefully have it finished for tomorrow so that I can post pictures. Cleaning up my scraproom  has inspired me to scrapbook again. I think my mojo was lost in my messy scrapbooking room and I have now found it again now that I have cleaned and sorted and got rid of things.

(Check my Youtube for an up coming video of a sneek peek on the inside of this Daybook and for the final project completed).

Sneek Peek!!!

Here is a sneek peek of what I have  been working on. It is a December Daily Lapbook. I followed Kathy Ortas Tutorials on Youtube (there is 7 in all, check here to check the 1st one out!!). I am in no way taking credit of this, this was idea I just followed along and made my own using her directions and a different paper line and embellishments.

I had a lot of fun making this album and this will be my first year doing the December Daily. It is where you document everyday with pictures and journal from December 1-25. I will make a video of the flip through and post it on my Youtube channel HERE.

I have to finish my scrapbooking room today but I do say that since I have cleaned, sorted and got rid of things I have now found my mojo again. It was somewhere in the mess and I found it.

Here is a couple of pictures of the final clean up.

This is a picture of the mess that I still have to clean up. You can't see it in the pictures above becasue its hidden by the stuff in the middle of the room hehehe.

Its still a little cluttered but it is functional. I have plans on re-organizing in the near future and buying some new storage. Out with the brown dresser and cabinet and in with something new.

How you all enjoyed today's post and Thanks for stopping by!!

Chaos!!!

OK so I don't  have any pictures to show you this time around but I thought that I would clean up my scrapbooking room so that I can get my motivation back so that I can finish unfinished projects and start on new ones. As I was coming to a close on finishing up on the clean I drop my jewelry making stuff and little beads scatter everywhere!!! I start to throw a tantrum and my wonderful husband comes to the rescue and tells me to take a break and walk away. So I walk away and he cleans it up for me.

My scrapbooking room has been a complete and utter mess for a while now. I was working very hard on it and I think I was concentrating to hard on it and that's when disaster struck for me. I am now going to take the rest of the night off and work on something else or even relax and read a book.

After I get my room fully done and reorganized and cleaned then I am going to start some kinda of Advent calendar for my kids this year. I think it will be a fun thing for them. I have never done it before. I am really getting into the holiday season this year because we put up the Christmas tree last night with the kids. That was a lot of fun but we realized that we lost a box of Christmas decorations and it had the lights to the tree in it. So we now have a tree with no lights but like I said on my Facebook status it still looks good because the kids helped.

This is how I feel with my scrapbooking room at this point.

I know that I will get through the last hurtle with my scrapbooking room. I just need to step back for today and finish tomorrow. Yes, I hate leaving things half done because I am afraid that I will not finish them but at this point I have no choice.

But I think I am done with the post for today and I am going to play around with blogger some because I think I just figured something out (setting a schedule for post to publish). I really haven't played around with it to much so now is a good time as any.

Thanks for stopping by!!!!

Mojo Lost, If Found Please Return.

I am in the process of finding my mojo to get started on Christmas gifts. With Thanksgiving just 3 days away it has motivated me to find my mojo.

I have started on Kathy Ortas December Daily as that is another thing I would like to do. Follow the link HERE to watch her Youtube Mini Series on how to create her December Daily Album.  I have so many things that I want to start doing but my mojo has up and left me.

Another thing that I have been looking into starting is Project Life. That I would like to start at the being of next year and follow through with it for life. I think it would be a fun way to document things that happen in my families lives on a everyday basis. I know its a lot to keep up with but if I can put aside time to work on it I can do it.

Here I am talking about starting new things when I have so many unfinished projects going on as it is. I have at least 4 mini albums that are half finished and layouts upon layouts that need to be finished and pictures put on them. I have SMASH books that I need to put all of my memorabilia in them and "smash them". Needless to say I have more ideas of different type of SMASH books I would like to do.

As I write and put it all out there I think I feel the creative spark coming back!!!

I am also trying to clean up my scrapbooking room and I think that is a big part as to why I cant get motivated to create something. I look at my room enter it for a moment and walk right back out. So I think if I finish cleaning it up that will also inspire me to create something as well.

I have a few mini albums that I do have finished that I will be making videos on soon but maybe not until after the holidays.

Well now that I have rambled on I am going to stop this post here. Thanks for stopping by!!!
