TUTORIAL TIME, 12X12 MINI ALBUM PAGE

Hi all...well just as promised, here is the tutorial to the sneak peak I posted a few days ago. This tut will show you how to make a mini album page using 1 sheet of paper 12x12.  If you make 5 of these page, you can get 45 pictures and 45 tags!!! I sure hope you can use this tut and that it inspires you to create!  Im thinking on doing a complete book using this technique on Ustream. I havin some issueing getting internet in my studio so, so as soon as THOSE kinks are smoothed out, I will set a date. Please comment if you would be interested in working along side with me! ( The halloween mini will come to Ustream first though)
 THANKS!
Enjoy the video...

and as always

My version of a Halloween Mini

Good afternoon all. Loving the weather!! Wish it would stay like this, but no! soon I will be complaining it's too cold! lol I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I did a lil shopping at Micheals and Joanns Saturday, finally broke down and bought some new cricut sticky mats! lol They are so nice and clean and sticky!! making my life easier, espcially since I had to cute all the pages for my Halloween mini. I took a different take, made it more cicular than squared paged like most.  I hope you enjoy it...I will have a kit coming out tomorrow fot this mini and maybe if you all want this will the project we can together on Ustream.
(yeap still working up the nerve for that one! lol Most all requested a Ustream on my last mini album so Im trying to get a date set up for that as well...Having internet issue in my craft room though, that is my biggest delay to date :( 
Ok well here is a video of my H. Mini hope you enjoy it!


Thanks so much for stopping by!!

So many colors!

Hi all. I have not had a chance to scrap in the past few weeks.  Life seems to get in the way! lol  I have been spending lots of time with my grandbaby, Brandon, so its a good trade off I believe. 

I have been having problems desiding on a blog background! HELP!  For those of you who have been by, you have probably noticed the fast changing backgrounds. From deep purple to red and black and now pumpkins!  Is this background too busy? lol

Well Brandon is spending the night. So I have to go check on him, he is asleep but I always worry about him. I must check him all through the night. 
Hope you everyone has a great Weekend.  Stop by, leave me a comment let me know your still out there...

and like aways....Thanks for stopping by...capture memories one by one!

What a day! Friday Halloween Gift Holders

Hello! Ok so plans didnt go as planned today. I feel I got a lot done, but I didn't get to finish my doodle to post! ack! But I will get to her soon. Brandon spent the night again and the little guy didnt get to sleep until 1am! He loves it here, and he loves his Pawpaw. Krystal (my daughter/his mommy) has taught him to use sign language and its so cute to see him sign. But he is creating his own words! Which makes it hard, as you might imagine. He kept pointing with his little index finger to the top of his head. He kept doing this over and over and pulling on my hand trying to drag me to the back door! Finally Doug (my hubby) suggested we take him outside, maybe he wanted to go sit on the swing...as soon as me made it outside he heads towards the back shed where Doug keeps him motorcycle...the little tyke wanted to sit on it and put the helmet on...that is what the pointing to the head meant..."helmet!" lol I just love him, he is such a little person. He will turn 2 on Nov 7th, he is growing way toooooo fast!


Anyway...for inpiration today I wanted to share these money or gift card holders. I used the cylinder from paper towels. I cut it in half to get two. Then I decorated them with handmade flowers. The flowers I made using the paper streamers that are used to decorate for birthday parties. Two huge rolls of those are only a buck at the dollar store and they come in all sorts of colors! Here are some pictures...I am a horrid photographer so excuse the pics please. They look so awesome in person. My kids are too old to trick or treat so I always give them a little something for halloween. Last year I gave them handmade sourcreams containers filled with Candy. Those area really cool to make also and you get to use the corrigator. So this year they get these, with money, they can buy their own candy! lol
These flowers looks sooo pretty in person! They are stickled, and all glittery.
 


Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope I inspire you to create! :) lol and NO they are not getting my SAMS card, I just couldnt find anything else while I was doing my "fancy photo shoot!" lol
and as always... 
THANKS FOR STOPPING BY~

MIA! TGIF

Hiya........ I know it! I've been MIA! Been so busy with the grandbaby I haven't had time to craft or post, but I have a really cute Halloween doodle to share with youll later tonight. Im on my way to the Post Office right now. I am glad to report that my Abbie mini album sold! I was so happy and sad at the same time. She is my first doodle to ever make it to a project of mine, the first to be printed and colored in!! I really didnt think she would go that fast! But Im sure she is going to a good home.  Sooooo ok, I have to go now, but thank you all for stopping by and for all the sweet email and comments you leave me, I appreciate it, IT's what keeps me going.     :)
