Life's Moments Explosion Scrapbook

We created this Scrapbook in a Box, as I like to call it, for our Project Class last month. The beautiful Paisley Petals DSP makes not only a beautiful box, but a beautiful scrap album, as well. The album features a couple of little envelopes with pull-out tags and several pages for journaling, along with cardstock photo frames.

If you missed this class, you can still get in on the fun. The PDF tutorial for the Paisley Petals Scrapbook is available, which includes a thorough and detailed list of supplies and dimensions along with an Illustrated Step-by-Step 24-page Tutorial (you'll also receive a PDF with journal lines and "Life's Moments" sentiment) to give you written and visual instruction for creating the project. The cost for the PDF class is $5 and can be purchased below by clicking on the "Buy Now" button. The PDF will be emailed to you within 24 hours.

Another Scrapbook Page

As promised, here's another scrapbook page share from Adriel's Baby Album. You can click here if you'd like to see the album cover. This page is a combination of SU and other DSP's and supplies. I believe the pink that we used on this album is actually Blush Blossom (retired). The Color combo for this page is Blush Blossom, Night of Navy, Bashful Blue, Regal Rose, So Saffron, Whisper White and Cajun Craze. Punches: Tag, Boho Blossom, Scallop Edge and non-SU tiny daisy punch. TFL!!

Something Different

I hardly ever share any Scrapbook pages. It's probably because I don't have many to share, although I do love creating scrapbooks, especially the little mini scrap albums. My dream is to sit down for a month and just scrap away and create a wonderful book of memories.

Anyway, in May 2010 I gave a baby shower for Adriel and one of the shower activities was to create a Baby Scrapbook for her. All the sweet ladies that came were given a page that Adriel and I had designed, cut and prepped...all they had to do was copy the picture we'd taken and put their pages together. We had a great time and within an hour, her whole scrapbook had been made. All that was left was for her to add pictures and journalling. She came over a few weeks ago to pick up the album so that she could place pictures she's been taking of Allie (who BTW,  is just over a year old now) into the album. I had forgotten how cute the scrapbook had turned out. Today I found a 3 more scrapbook pages tucked in a drawer (why? I don't know!), so I thought that I'd share them here with you over the next few days. Maybe you'll be inspired to do a little bit of scrapbooking yourself. I know that I was inspired again :-)
The page above is all Stampin' Up! I used My Digital Studio to create the DSP background and added the "little cutie" sentiment, which I printed out. The little pink bird is also a digital stamp from MDS. I believe the colors I used (it's been awhile) are Garden Green, So Saffron, Regal Rose, Pretty in Pink (maybe it's Pink Pirouette), and Whisper White. Punches: Scallop Edge, Scallop Circle, Boho Blossom, 1/2" circle, Corner Rounder.

Thanks so much for dropping by.

Travel Scrap Album

From Heidi...We have some really fun projectclasses planned for the Summer and Fall. We have a Travel Album class planned for Tumbleweed in September, so I've been playing around with some album ideas. I found this fun album idea where you make your own book binding using stitching, so I tried it out and made this little prototype. It was fun to make, so I'll be using this idea to make a new one with some of the new Stampin' Up DSP and new cardstock colors. I used My Digital Studio for "All Aboard" image. I found a bunch of fun "travel-themed" digital stamps on MDS, so I'm going to add some digital elements to the album, too. Thanks for stopping by!

Baby Album Cover

From Adriel:

My mom did a beautiful job on the cover of this album, don't you think?

Our baby scrap-together in preparation for Allison's arrival is this weekend and we are spending this week putting the finishing touches on getting ready! We have pages ready for assembly, with pictures of what each finished page should look like. We've never done anything like this before, so we're curious to see how it all will go together! Here's a couple more pictures of pages for the album:

The pages are going into the before-mentioned album that my mom did the cover for. I think it turned out beautifully and I love how she did Allison's name. Very cute!

Looking forward to seeing some of you there and will miss those of you who are not able to make it.

Hope you're all enjoying your week and having a wonderful day!

This & That Thursday: Scrapbook Layouts

Here's a few pictures of some of the layouts we have been working on for the scrap-together coming up soon! The pages are not assembled yet. We just took pictures for an overall picture to help all of the wonderful ladies coming to assemble them. The pictures should help with putting the pages together quickly and also alleviate any concerns from those who think they don't know how to scrapbook.

So, those of you coming get a sneak peek!

And for those of you not able to make it,

hopefully it makes it seem like you're a part of it still. =)

We've got some yummy food planned, too! =)

I'm planning on making my Sour Cream Lemon pie...

it's so yummy and I rarely make it,

so it's a treat for me too! =)

It's getting closer and I'm looking forward to it! =)

Thanks for stopping by!
Enjoy your day!

Newsy Tuesday

Hey there! We don't have a whole lot of news today, but we've got a few things to share with you today.

I finished the baby boy memory flip album I have been working on. It turned out SUPER cute and I really hope the new mom likes it. The story behind the album is that I reconnected with an old childhood friend via facebook recently. I really was better friends with her older sister when we were kids, but it's funny how a 3 year age difference isn't really that big of a deal when you're a grown-up... anyway, I digress. Her older sister recently had a baby boy and she asked me about the flip album. That's how the whole thing got rolling and now I have all the pieces cut out for another baby boy album and I'm hoping to do a couple of baby girl ones also. I'm planning on getting this album in the mail today on its way to its new home! =)

Last week my mom and I spent some time making some masculine-themed cards. We're planning on doing a masculine-theme SAS sometime within the next few months. It's hard to get your brain to think "masculine". I'm a girl! I love flowers and pretty things! These stretched my creativity, but it was a good challenge. Here are just a couple of the cards we made:

We're getting closer to being done with the preparation for the scrapbook put-together party for the upcoming baby. My husband and I (mainly I) finally decided on the spelling of the name we chose: Allison Grace. My husband didn't really care how it was spelled... I kept going back and forth between different spellings. =)

We have a couple of classes this week at Tumbleweed Rec. Center. A Creative Cards class and a CD scrapbook album. I'm sorry I don't have pics to share for these classes... I'll have to get them from Mom. =)

Anyway, that's the news for this week! Hope all of you are doing well and staying creative. Enjoy your day. =)

Memory Flip Album

From Adriel:

Here's another new item in our shop and what a great way to show off some pictures and memories!

Chipboard panels have been covered with beautiful designer paper from Stampin' Up! There are 6 beautiful pages completed and ready for pictures. The back of each page has a special journaling spot.

The whole album is put together with file rings at the top with cute ribbon tied around the rings. The album stands upright on its own. Cute!

Today we're teaching our Christmas Treasures class in the afternoon and evening. I'm looking forward to spending some time with our stamping/crafting friends. We get to make some cute stuff and it will be enjoyable. =)

*Hope you're having a great day! Stop by again soon! =)*
