Valentines Corsage Swap with Sweet Goodness Girls

So here comes the rebirth of this blog. Finally after a crazy fall for both Ann and I. Ann moved.... (Sniff, Sniff ) to WA. And thus we both have kind of gone through a dry spell. Hopefully that will be done for a while.
Here is my package for the Sweet Goodness Girls Valentines Corsage Swap. So above is it all wrapped up to be mailed. A cute fabric box from World Market and a cute little V-Day Tag/Ornament And a Heart tin with some Chocolate.

Open the box with the corsage nestled on some wood shavings. I loved those so much better than some plastic filler.

And the corsage with some vintage music, ribbon, and bling.

Paper Bag Album Class- SMILE

I made this album for a class I was teaching on Paper Bag Albums at Church. Notice the much less adorned look of it. I plan on putting some pictures of the boys in it. I think it came out really nice even if it isn't as blinged out as I normally do on a mini album. Shows you that simplicity can be equally as nice.

The paper is Cosmo Cricket.

Frightfully Delightful

So here is a minialbum inspired by Marion Smith's Halloween Mini Album. You can watch her video and perhaps it will inspire you to make something too. Mine is Really CHUNKEEEEEY! I like em' chunky!

Made mostly with Making Memories Spellbound paper from a few years ago.

Album In a Box

The Album in a box comes from watching a Live with Prima Video.

Forgive the awful photos. I was getting ready to send these to my mother and MIL. So I took pictures of them on the dashboard of the minivan.

The one on the Left is made with DCWV Paper. And the other is from a Basic Grey.

My Girl Chipboard Album

The Chipboard album for this is one of the Mary Englebrite albums in the dollar section at Michaels. For a dollar... you can't beat the cost of chipboard and cutting it out in a scalloped circle. I stocked up on a few. Square Scalloped, Tea Pot... I forget what else. I have only one daughter so I lovingly Titled it... "My Girl."

Page 1... Loving those new Prima Flowers. The paper is DCWV Mariposa. I am going to have to buy more of that paper.

Page Two. I did some crackle paint on that butterfly. Added a Tim Holtz book plate.
Page Three. The green flower was a white Prima, but I colored it with Angel Mist.

Page Four. The Bingo Card I used some of the Old Paper Crackle paint form Ranger Inks/Tim Holtz.

Best Friends.
I love this little doily frames. It picked up some of the Green Glimmer Mist too and i used it on the green flower again.

For an Aged look I put crackle paint on the picture. I was just testing out how it would look.

Quite awhile back I found this C Pearl ornament in the dollar section at Michaels. Nice to finally put it to use. This page and others has some of the new Prima Bling.

Back... lots of Ribbon, seven gypsies chandelier thingys and a Tim Holtz Key that says Heart.

There it is... a chipboard album with my girl.

Explosion Box

Here is my latest Explosion Box featuring Christmas 2009. It has been so nice creating something for myself. Often all my paper crafting projects are gifts for others.

Above is the top of the lid.

Front View.

View of it opened looking down.

This is the first time I did something 3-D in the center. I think it came out cute.

Scrapbooking show and tell

I got this tin from the Thrift store for .99 cents. I ripped off the paper, cause frankly... it was ugly and drab. But I liked the ink distressing they had done on the metal itself. You can't really see it in this picture though. So I took out some of my scrapbooking stuff and went crazy on it. I ooohed and awed over this tin.Well this is my version. Sorry the picture isn't that great. I really need a new camera. I couldn't find a butterfly I liked to go on it. Though I may add one at some point.

A gift for a very helpful friend.

Back

I hope she enjoys it, cause i really appreciate her presence in my life. Others saw it and now I have been asked to make another. So I need to get this back healed soon, so I can finish it!
