Quick and Easy mini album

This weekend I finished up this little album of out summer water park fun. Each section 2 pages/4 front and backs is made from a single sheet of cardstock.
I lined each flat page with a coordinating printed paper (this was BoBunny line Sun Kissed) using different edge punches to make each unique. I did triangles on each pocket page, also adding edge punching or corner punches. I used small tags to journal on and placed each in a pocket and attaches buttons or ribbons to the tag hole for easy access.

Making the pages are pretty simple...

Take a full sheet of 12 x 12 paper and score it at 6inches on each side. This will resulting in 4 - 6x6 scored squares.

Second cut one scored line from the edge to the center of the four squares (see dotted line)

Next using a ruler, score from the corner of the new cut line, to the corner diagonally from it, this will form 2 triangles on each of the flaps.

Alone that scored triangle line, crease the cardstock, forming a triangle. Using your tape runner or adhesive of your choice, glue the flap down to make that triangle double thick.

Next you will form the pockets. On flap #1 add adhesive along the triangle/pocket edge that will lay closest to the center scored line, that will be the fold in the page. Keep the adhesive as close to the edge as possible so you will have plenty room to use that pocket. On flap #2 you will do the exact same thing, but this time folding the flap backwards to the other side. After gluing it down, you will have one pocket on each side. This will be 2 pages, each side consisting of 1 pocket, 1 flat side.

The blue represents your pockets/flaps. But this is as if you can see thru the cardstock to see each sides pocket.

Cool Mini Album

I can't take credit for this AWESOME idea. I got the idea/inspiration from Jhopkins. I've been working on my own for a short while. I recently joined an online group of scrappers on 2peas who are all working on loosing weight. I thought it would be fun to use this project for that album. I love how it turned out so far. I still need a charm for the outside and to decorate the front...but so far so good!

Girl Monday?

NOPE....It's Girl FRIDAY, one of my favorite new lines by Cosmo Cricket! I made this lil flip book album in a convention workshop at GASC last weekend. The class was alot of fun and taught by none other than STACI ETHERIDGE, fellow Texan and scrapbooker extraordinaire! She was a great teacher, very upbeat, but kept the instructions good from all levels of scrappers. (ok, except the ones behind us who decided about 5minutes in there were gonna "watch" instead of create"....what's up with that? I think they might have been "pretend scrapbookers").

Everyone who has seen the book LOVES it...My #1 fan on this creation was my daughter who gets to keep it, as I used it to record her Band Banquet event photos!

Friday already?

Wow...this week has FLOWN by for me. My girls left Tuesday for a few days with my parents on a trip to Fredericksburg. With all the excitement of GASC last weekend, and being so tired, I've been a BAD BLOGGER this week.




Here is a look at one of the projects I made at the convention in a class I took. The front and back covers are made with embossed metal...as technique I am now IN LOVE with! It also has several metal embossed elements as accents.

Project for a gift...

I have been holding off on posting this item - until I was able to give it to my sister-in-law, which I finally accomplished, when coming to babysit Saturday night. I made this with pictures of my nephew and other family members from our July 4th celebration down at the farm in Whitney. It turned out cute - I did add ribbon to all the tags - but took the pictures before I got that done.

I'm baaaack!

The retreat was so fun! The 3 course gourmet meals were amazing and the accommodations were very nice. When you attend something like this, especially with over half of the 12 women in attendance, being strangers to each other, there is always a certain amount of "drama"...but it was pretty low on the drama-meter! (thank Goodness...I'm about drama-ed out lately)
I got alot of work done...
This is a luggage tag for my Camera Gear Bag - using Love Elsie paper line

Katie's paper bag album of her 14th birthday photos.
She took it to school to show it off to her friends and it was a big hit!

I made the girls handmade cards for the valentines gifts...they always love that.
They turned out pretty cute, so I took a picture!

The Soulmates page was made using a sketch at Page Maps website!


This page was made just to record my appreciation for Katie and was an original design.
