Family mini album (made using "Tell Your Story" collection)

Hi all,
I just completed another design team project for Heartfelt Creations! I have to admit, I wasn't very fond of the colors at first, but now I can honestly say that I'm in love with the color combo! It grew on me :) When I was assigned to work with this collection I had no idea all the yummy embellishments that it would include. Teresa Collins has outdone herself!!! Check out my youtube video to see the link for the tutorial I followed to make this album (click here to watch).Thanks for stopping by to take a look...

Friday Fun #2 -oops!

Hi everybody, sorry for the overload of posts from me today...I just realized that I hadn't posted my last couple of projects for my new craft series, called Friday Fun! Now, that is NOT fun. So here is my project #2, a super simple layout for baby:

Thanks for stopping by!

My 12 days of crafts series-Day10

Today's project is a baby boy mini album I made for Las Scrappin Senoritas (lasscrappinsenoritas.blogspot.com). It's a sample mini for a kit we have available on our blog. Below is a picture of the kit & of each of the pages of the mini.

 

My 12 days of crafts series-Day8

This photo tag was fun & easy to make. I used paper from K&Co's ancestry.com mat pad, adhesive paper trim from K&Co's Christmas Cheer, Recollections bling, a dictonary paper flower, vinyl lettering and stamps from CTMH's Happy Journey set. Watch the video on how I made it on my YT channel, gloriascraps2. Thanks for being here!

My 12 days of crafts series-Day5

I made these cards using this week's Mojo Monday sketch, #219. All of the paper is from CTMH's Jingle paper pack. I was really happy to be able to use my new cricut cartridge (for the scalloped circle), Lovely Floral (thanks to Katie!!!). Thanks for watching!

My 12 days of crafts series- Day 2

So happy to share with you my own TP mini (the others I've made were for swaps/gifts). Thanks for stopping by. See you on Day 3!

Challenge #30 of 31

As part of a swap for Las Scrappin Senoritas, I've been working on an album for Irene. She chose the colors, and I think they're lovely!! This is just one page of her album. It's a 9x9 chipboard album (Bo Bunny) and misc. paper & embellishments.

Challenge #28 of 31

Today I'm working on a 4"X6" envelope mini album for my daughter. But sshhh! it's a surprise! The cover is made from a cereal box. I'm using one of her favorite CTMH paper packs, the Stardust collection. I'll post my progress as I'm only working on this when she's not around, which seems to be late at night while my little angel is sleeping :-) I'll post more details as I go. I hope to give this to her for Valentine's Day!

Challenge #14 of 31

This is my first envelope mini. I got the idea from Laura on FollowingThePaperTrail.I made this for my sister a couple of months ago, but didn't get a chance to take pics or do a video before giving it to her. (Thanks Olga, for letting me borrow it again. Upon your request, I've covered the pictures to protect the innocent :-)

Challenge #12 of 31

Today I've decided to organize my greeting cards. I bought a box for them a couple of years ago and it worked fine until I had so many cards that I didn't know what to do with! I've decided to store my Christmas cards seperately in this rubbermaid container, since I have a lot of them and I've organized the rest in the box by occasion. I love it!!

Challenge #11 of 31

Whew! All of these challenges have me going crazy!!! I think it's time for a GIVEAWAY!!!!!!!! (My first ever!) Watch the vid for details!!! Thanks to those who have subbed and followed :-)

Challenge #10 of 31

In an effort to get all of my photos out of boxes and onto layouts, I joined a group on YPP that will help me to get back to my first love in scrapbooking, 12x12 layouts. I need all of the help I can get because I'm soooo behind on my layouts!!Yeah, one down, hundreds to go!!!!

Challenge #7 of 31

Here are some flowers I've made in the last few months. Some I made at Ruthie's flower workshop, the others I learned to make from watching YT videos. I like how they turned out, not bad for an amateur!

Challenge #6 of 31

This has been on my to-do list for at least 6 months! I saw some that Ruthie received in some swaps, and I thought "I've got to make one of those." I went with a Valentine theme on this tag. It measures 4"x7". I used CTMH's "That's Amore" paper collection, a stick pin I made and other miscellaneous embellishments.

31 Day Challenge #1

Hi everyone!! Happy 2011!! I have been inspired to commit to "The 31 days, 31 goals, 31 videos" challenge that was issued by Marion on youtube (apieceofcraft.com). I think it's a great idea and I figure it will help me to complete 31 things I've been meaning to do. So, I've decided that I'm going to post all 31 challenges here along with pictures instead of doing videos. I realize that I'm already 6 days behind, but I don't think it's ever too late to start. Please bare with me as I might have a couple of posts a day until I catch up completely.
Ok, so my challenge #1 was to make good use of this box in my craft room. (You know how I love to recycle!)This sturdy cardboard box measures about 12 1/4 x 12 1/4, so it's perfect for storing my 12x12 size bags of embellishments. I simply glued on some paper on all 4 sides and decorated the front of the box in my favorite color combo- cream, black & red. I love how it turned out! It took me all of 15 minutes to do. Plus, it saved me from spending money on a basket. So, one challenge down, 30 to go!

Christmas mini my daughter made for me

I just had to share this album that my 12 year old daughter made me for Christmas. I'd like to think she's a chip off the old block, but her creativity and style is all her own. I'm a super proud mama!!!!
