Altered Canvas

The Scrapbook Junkie Design Team got a fun project of creating an altered canvas which represents each of us. I was going to go fun and "Hello Kitty"-ish, but kept coming back to the things I love... vintage, heritage, texture and lace. Tell me what you think!

Silly, Silly Girls!

Design Team meeting was tonight at The Scrapbook Junkie. Fun news!! I got "promoted". I am now on the official monthly team, not an alternate any longer. One of the ladies was unable to fulfill her duties and I am taking over her crown, er... I mean her duties. Such a treat for me!

Beth wanted to get a pic of all of us wearing the green go-go glitter glasses, that's what I call them, anyway. It was a hoot. These ladies are not only terribly creative designers, but just a whole lot of fun.

Stay tuned for some samples goodies coming to the blog when I finish.

Another Wedding Gift...

I covered this frame with this BEAUTIFUL paper from Making Memories. It is flocked. I just love the feel of flocked paper. It is so rich and luscious. And I LOVE the ribbon that I found. The center strip feels suede and the ruffle edges are like grosgrain ribbon.



Don't you love it when you find something in your stash that is just perfect? That's how I felt about these K& Co. fabric covered brads. The color and design match the flocked paper. Aaah, there's just something so satisfying about that!

Wedding Gift

My nephew got married and I made this book for him and his new wife.

I used the Heidi Swapp Mirror book cover. I really enjoyed working with it. It was a bit intimidating at first. I wasn't sure how certain things would look on it, but I think it turned out well.


I fell in love with this line from "Little Yellow Bicycle". Just beautiful and full of textures. I also couldn't resist the embellishments that went along with it. I'm so glad I had a reason to buy it. LOL

Kitty Scrapbook

I made my daughter a scrapbook of all of the cats we have or have had, for her birthday. She had a wonderful reaction. She oohed and aahhed over each page. It reminded me of why I love scrapbooking, especially as gifts for others.


I intend to take pics of the layouts to show. It went pretty quickly since it was 8" x 8". But I did find that I had to print out my own pics in order to get them small enough to put more than 1 or 2 on a page. That was unfortunate since I had already paid to have 100 developed. Oh well, she can have a photo book, too, right. :)

Another Blast from the Past...

Well, since I am bringing up the past, I thought I would share a page I had published a few years ago. The publication was "Scrapbook Answers", April 2006 issue. Above is a scan of the article and below is a pic of the actual page.



I was so sad to see "Scrapbook Answers" go out of business. They included a CD in each issue with lots of info, fonts and clipart.

Oh well, at least I got my 15 minutes!

Revisit the Past

Well, I have been working my little fingers to the bone on projects for everyone else. And since they aren't mine, I don't have much to share with you. So I thought I would go back to the past and pull up some of my favorites. It's not likely you would have seen them.

Enjoy!
