Christmas Has Come Early!

I'm so excited!  After thinking about it for some time, I've decided to plunge into Project Life scrapbooking.  Several of my friends are doing it, and the idea of finishing scrapbooks quickly really appeals to me.

I plan on tackling old photos and memorabilia.  One advantage I can already see is the interchangeable nature of the pages will make it somewhat easy to do any rearranging if I find a box of memories that needs to be included in a chronological spot.  You can't do that with whole scrapbook pages!

I'll try and post some pictures of my pages in the coming months.

For now happy scrapping!

Baby Love

What can I say, I love babies. I love baby scrapbook pages, I love baby cards, announcements, clothes and blankets. I especially love that sweet baby smell of my own little ones. (Some of whom are not so little really anymore).

I was going through some boxes today (spring cleaning), and found this scrapbook page I had done for a swap. It's one of my simpler designs, but remember I like the simple stuff.

I hope you like it too.

(By the way the shiny centers are the flowers are microbeads I adhered with crystal effects).

Happy Holidays!

Wow, where has the time gone? I didn't mean for 2 1/2 weeks to go by without posting. (How did that happen?) Well, on second thought, Christmas parties, holiday concerts, Christmas shopping, rushing Christmas orders out, making several hand-crafted mini scrapbooks with customized photo CD's, waiting at the post office....

Yes, it's been a busy time here.

I hope all of you had a marvelous Christmas or Hanukkah, and that your new year is full of love and happiness.

Until the new year actually starts, I thought I'd share some photos of the mini-scrapbooks I made. These were taken before I added photos and other embellishments since I don't want to post personal pictures of the recipients.

There were five books in all. The papers largely coordinated for all five, though there were some slight variations between the different books. (If you look at the photos, you'll see what I mean).

These books are made from CD holders which are covered in patterned paper and held together by adhering them to solid colored cardstock. The covers and spines were made from solid-colored cardstock as well.
