Note Boards

My new favorite thing to make... I call them noteboards. Im sure Im not the first person to think something like this up but I will say I was awefully proud of myself when I did. I found these boards at the dollar store and grabbed a couple for my neices to use for a craft project. I of course also bought one for myself but had no clue what I wanted to do with it. Well we were working and then it came to me.. why dont I make it a dry erase board. My house is in some serious need of organization as far as remembering things go. So I covered it with some DSP I had and added a transparency. then it was done, but it looked terribly plain. So I added a post it note pad- that way I could bring the reminder with me if I needed. Still a little plain so I added the tear off calendar since we cant seem to keep a calendar in my house. Then it was done. The all in one noteboard. I need to get some dry erase markers then I will add a holder for it and some magnets so I can hang it on my refrigerator. It does hang, but if I hang it up my boys will get it off the wall and destroy it. Thats all there was too it. I was thinking it would be perfect with the calendar stamp set SU has, but I dont have that one so I just printed one off and cut it. It works for me. What do you think?

Have a Safe and HAppy New Years!

6x6 scrap page workshop

Hi everyone! Hope your all staying nice and warm inside cause that snow is freezing outside. This is a scrap page I put together and am very pleased with how it came out. I Love the pink and brown combo...well just about anything and brown is a favorite for me. I used pink perouette (someday Ill learn how to spell it without looking), bella rose dsp, pink and brown ribbon and chocolate chip ink. Behind the picture is a tag that has the date that the picture was taken and whatnot--thats why the ribbon is up there. I didnt think to pull the tag out to show that thats what it was.

I am going to be having a FREE workshop on January 23rd where we will be making this page. If your not so into scrapbooking but need a night out, come anyways. You will be able to check out the new catalog and see whats coming up for sale-a-bration. And besides, its free...what have you got to lose?

Hope you have a fabulous Day!

this and that

Hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas! I did. The boys had a blast opening presents this year. It was very busy for us. We had a christmas eve party, then stayed at my inlaws for the night so the boys could just open all of their presents there. After presents we headed to my sister in laws for an early dinner and to open presents again. Then after that it was off to our aunts house for christmas with Grandma. It was a very busy long day. My boys were Exhausted. It was nice to see everyone for the holidays though.

I gave the scrap book to my mother in law. I finished it just in time. She opened it christmas morning and before she even turned to the second page started crying. It was really sweet. Then everywhere we went that day she brought it with her to show it off. I had planned on posting some more pictures of it, but I didnt take any pictures before I gave it to her. Next time I see her Ill have to get some.

well just wanted to let yas know she liked the scrapbook. I am working on some more stuff to share with yas soon. Have a great day!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Hope everyone is having a fabulouse christmas today. It came sooo fast this year. So the story behind this scrapbook.... I am making it as a gift for my inlaws. My mother in law has been saying how she would like a family scrapbook so I have been working on putting one together. All of the pages are very simple cause I decided at the last minute that I wanted to do this as a gift. I dont know if she checks out my blog or not--my guess would be no, but ya never know-- thats why I couldnt say it before.

So yesterday I showed you a page with my neice Makenna, well these are her parents. My oh so Wonderful Sister in law and her husband. I will say I have been very lucky. Most ppl cant stand their inlaws and I love mine. I couldnt ask for a better family to marry into. So for this page I used Rose Red (from Earth elements), kiwi kiss, chocolate chip, not quite navy, and some dsp that I have layin around that I bought at michaels. Again a very simple page. I used the big shot for the letters and I was done. I really like the colors of this page. It just seems like they fit their personalities so well. I think this is my favorite page out of the whole book...

Well thanks for stoppin by. Enjoy your holidays!

Scrap Page 3

This is my gorgeous little neice Makenna. She is 10months and such a good baby. I love the main picture on this page and thought that since her shirt was purple, that the page should be purple as well. This is a very very simple page but I really love how it came out. I used 2 purples from the soft subtles family (I cant remember thier names and dont wanna go look) and Pink Pirouette. I had some jolees stickers layin around and thought they went well with the pictues I used so I through them on there for some quick embellishments, used the big shot for her name and VOILA! I was done. so thats page 3.... more to come in the next couple days.

Have a Great Holiday!.

Page 2

This is another page of my other son kaleb. I cant believe Im actually getting a chance to post two days in a row! So this page uses old olive, only orange, brilliant blue (i think) and that DSP that retired and I cant remember the name of. I used chipboard that I had packed away (one of those Ill use this someday things) and after I had it all glued and finished I decided I really didnt like it but Im stuck with it. Every other page i have done for this scrapbook uses the same set of letters. oh well though. Ok my 5 minutes is up. Time to be a mom again. Have a GREAT day!
