Busy, Busy, Busy.

I know it has been awhile since I have updated my blog here but I have been really busy with Girls Scouts. It is cookie season and I have been trying to help my girls out with that. On top of that my husband went out of town for training and I have been taking care of everything here at the house with our 4 kids. Then here recently I have been sick and so have 2 of the 4 kids.

A few projects that I have been working on in my spare time is domino pendants (I will have pictures at a later date, )mini albums (half finished), my stepsons baby album and a box that I altered with a mini in it. I have been doing a lot of supply ordering and I also joined a mini album kit club.

I also just finished college and I got my Assoicates Degree in Medical Transcription. Too actually have the degree in my hand is an experience in itself, it is the best feeling in the world aside from having my children.

Things are starting to slow down so I am hoping to get back on track.

So here is my update and God Bless. :)

Time Is.... Mini Album

I finally finished it!!! I used Tim Holtz distress ink (Mustard Seed)to distress all the edges. I am not sure what paper collection it is or who it is by. It was a kit that was given to me. I am really proud of this album because I took a lot of time and care to complete it. My daughter says it look more like a Fall album and I have to say I agree with her but I am using it for Summer. Thanks for looking and enjoy. Everyone have a great day!!

Woof Album

I final finished another album!!! This one is for your dog, I personally do not scrap my pets but the paper I used was cute so I made one. I do not know who makes the paper that I used but I did use the Cricut Sampler cartridge and used the Paper Pups sampler. Also I used the Fabulous Find on the sampler to make the hinges for the tabs on the pull out photo mats in the large pockets. I used 5 paper bags and Cinnamon paint by FolkArt (3 paperbags), Coffe Bean by FolkArt (2 paperbags). I painted the edges of the paperbags before I put the paper on. I also used Cardinal Red by Folkart for the dog houses on the front cover and the dog bowls on the back cover, Classic Green by FolkArt to paint the grass on the front cover and then Linen by FolkArt for the bones in the dog bowl on the back cover. Some of the things that I used were given to me such as the dog on the front cover, the bones picture frame, the dog in the treasure chest and the dog house with the food bowl. I hope you enjoy and have a great day.

Graduation Mini Album

This is my first min album kit that I bought and put together. I did this sometime ago. I wanted to share all of the finished mini albums that I have done and I think that I am coming to the end of the finished ones. So this means that I need to get to work and finish the other 8 that I have started. Enjoy and have a great day!!!
