Baby, Chipboard Cascade word book

 Good Morning all, hope you are all enjoying the day. I have been working on many different things in the past few weeks, and have been trying to get a handle on the up and coming show season, so there is a lot of paper being cut, stamped, embossed, glued and colored. But what better way to spend one's time. The first project I want to share with you is a word book that was made for a friend. Basic chipboard, papers of your choosing, adhesives, and a lot of embellishments

I used a combo of Spellbinders dies, sizzix dies, and cuttlebug emboss folders. STickers and a ton of ribbon. If you would like a book like this plain for you to embellish, or completely done just email me for the specifics. Have a great day.

Box update and a card...

Hello crafty ones...Well my day was not a happy day, My best friends father had passed away, and the funeral was this morning...I stayed with her the day just for moral support in case she needed it. Her siblings never bothered to show, as they are all very selfish, so how could I just leave her..One can never have too many hugs in this situation.Anyway when I returned home I found another clue from the boys in an email...It says," Dear Mom, we know this making you crazy, and thats part of the fun we get to have...Were sure by now you weighed your saddle, and tack. And we seen the post, It's NOT the saddle, sorry maybe next time, as that is a great idea. Clue number 2....Inside the large box are at least 3 smaller boxes, and 1 of the items is black and a deep deep blue color...It makes NO noise at all.....and before you ask, the items do go together, somewhat. So there it is, clue number 2...

On a crafty note....Here is another card I attempted.... I promise the next one will be a lot better, and all stamping and coloring....I am putting my dies and cutters away....It's the only way I think this is going to happen....Have a wonderful everyone....

8x8 Scrapbook covers, albums

Here are a few more of the altered scrapbook albums...It is so much nicer to personalize them, rather than just a plain old front. All you need is (5) sheets os 12x12 paper, and (2) sheets of 81/2x11 paper. a glue stick, and whatever else you want to match the theme of the book. The font on the book if from Sizzix, and called Endless love. A few Prima flowers, brads, and lace. You can be as basic or fancy as you want to. I left this one rather empty looking, which is very hard for me to do....

This is a cute little book for that special baby/toddler in your life. The tear bears are a pattern from My ScapChick, and Lisa's Piecings. Spellbinders for dies, and a fiskars border punch, a few dimensional stickers and a cute little saying finishes off this book..

This one is basically the same thing, only I used my Cricut and my Silhouette for the die cuts and My SCrapChick for the tear bear. A bit of inking and chalking, and pop dots is all you need..

This book I used the Silhouette for the angel and branches, topped off with a few Prima flowers and it's all done. Well it could be done. These books are so easy to do, and are the perfect size. Espically for the beginner scrapbooker. They are 8x8 and not quite as intimidating as a full 12x12 page or album to do. I prefer glue sticks for these types of projects, as it stiffens up the covers and gives a nice base for adhering other items.. Have a craft happy day ladies...

Cascade Scrapbooking Album

Hey ladies, the word books, cascade albums, and flip books are very popular right now. They are fun and oh so easy to make. You can cut them using your cricut, your desktop cutters, and if you do not have either of them, you can hand cut them. The pattern I used for this book, came from a very talented gal RachelB over on UKSCRAPPERS. I used 2 of her border files to make this book...SO never fear you can still make these if you have a scissors.

SO the supplies needed is chipboard, (I used an old cereal box), a pattern, matching papers, embellishments, ribbons, stamps, adhesives, and any other items you like to use... I use glue sticks for this project, the reason being I like the stiffness it gave the ceral box, it stiffened it right up, just like a really thick piece of chip board.I cut the pieces all out of the cardstock of my choosing, glue them all down and then taking the X-acto knife trim up the edges. If you do not like the raw edges of the chipboard or in this case the cereal box, I used a matching ink to cover all exposed edges, and the edge of the papers giving it a distressed look. These 2 parts are the hardest and most time consuming, so hang in there....Once you have this step done, the fun part is next, embellishing the book. There are no rules, no limits and no restrictions. Be as creative as you like.. I like these books done up with tons of ribbons, lace, embellishments, and little doo-dads. Once you have 1 book completed stand back and admire your work..It was all worth it in the end. And they do become addictive. If you do not want to take the time to make these from scratch, you can purchase these from BoBunny, I like there books as they come in many colors, and you do not need to mess with cutting papers and inking edges.

Ok, so there you have it, a unique album, for a special someone in your life...My Neices love it when i make these books for them...Here is the latest album created

So on the next cold snowy day, empty a box of cereal, grab your papers and glue stick, and have a little fun with these funky little albums..If you would like a pattern to cut and trace just email me and I will send it you, or you can come pick it up...Just remember to save the original copy so you can re-use it any time you like.. Or make your own borders using any shape that you like. It's that easy to do...Have a great day ladies..

Hugs,

Ronnie
