Project Life in a Box

Hello all my crafty friends. Here is another new project for you!

Check the Hobby Lobby Tab for all the details and info.

Triple Play Boxed Set

This one is so fun.....and simple!  Maybe you have vacations photos from several different trips.....or a few special grandkids?  You can put all of those precious memories in one compact place...

 This boxed set holds 3 mini albums.  The albums all have six pages and each page will hold 4 photos....that's 24 photos in each album!  and 72 photos total!

Each page in the album is actually a pocket page, sized and designed to hold a 4x6 photo with no trimming or cutting....how cool is that!

This will make a great gift for your non-scrapping friends....just stick photos in!

This class is scheduled for Thursday May 8th and Saturday May 10th.

Please check the Hobby Lobby Tab for more details and information.

Hello all my crafty friends!

I have another small mini for you......along the same lines as the Easy Peasy albums.  This is a library pocket style mini with a new binding technique.  Every page is actually a pocket that holds a photo mat or two.

 This little mini measures about 4x6...perfect for a quick gift.

 I did this little album in two different papers......

 Wouldn't this make a cut baby album?  or graduation album?  It could have a ton of different looks depending on the paper you choose.

Although I have done these with cardstock and a 6x6 paper pad, you could do this with the double sided paper used for the Easy Peasy series.

This class will be scheduled for Saturday May 3rd.

Please check the Hobby Lobby tab for a supply list and more details.

Easy Peasy Album Series

Hello all my crafty friends!

The different Penny Pinching series albums that I have done seemed to be a big hit!  So with that in mind I've been creating more albums using a minimum of supplies.

I have created 3 different albums with just ONE stack of paper!  Yup, you read that right....ONE stack of paper and I had leftovers.   ( I think I might be able to come up with at least one more...I'll work on that!)

Unlike the previous albums, the pages in these little cuties are made from the paper themselves....not card stock.  Score, cut, fold....instant page!  Easy Peasy!

All of these little albums have a ton of room for photos.....even 5x7!  They are super simple to make and would make quick, inexpensive gift.

                                        Graphic 45  Purse Album

I had so much fun constructing this album.  The paper was just beautiful and the images are stunning.

This album was made with Graphic 45 Couture Collection.

Isn't it pretty?

This album is loaded with space for  photos as well as having tons of little journaling spots.

This will be a Hobby Lobby Class starting March 29th.  Please check the Hobby Lobby Tab for more info.

Penny Pinching Continues

Hello all my crafty friends,

The Penny Pinching Series continues.....this time with file folders?  HUH?  WHAT?  I know...funny but the material is great to work with.

This is album #1....it folds open 3 different ways and has room for tags.

These little albums are fast, fun and simple to do.  You can embellish them as much or as little as you want. 

 This is style #2.....I love this one!  It has room for room for a lot of photos with side loading pockets and top loading pockets as well.

If you really are not into the whole grungy look...how about this one?  It's the same little album just with different paper.

 And here is #3....  This one is a bit larger but just as fast and simple.

I will be doing these at Hobby Lobby starting March 8th.  Please check the Hobby Lobby Tab for more photos and all the information on this series of classes.

Hello all my crafty friends,

So in response to all of the questions I have been receiving about the flower class....

We will be using JUST the Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die. 

Class will be Saturday February 8th  10am-2pm ish or until you have had enough flower making.

There is no charge for this class.

Please bring:

A TON of pre-cut flowers....cut from card stock, paper and or double sided paper.
Hot glue gun
Heat tool or hair dryer
Small spray bottle of water
Flower shaping tools OR mouse pad and a sharpie
Brads
Scissors and pencil
Piercing tool or something to make a hole with.

These are the tools that I use.....but keep in mind you don't need them.  The sharpie works great as it has a nice round end on it.  That is really all you need....something with a smooth round end and a cushion of some sort....the mouse pads work just fine.

This the the McGill flower tool set.  I know that Hobby Lobby does have this and I think it's around $15...use your coupons! There is a shaping mat that goes along with this kit but I'm not sure how much it is.

These are Sculpey clay tools and they work great as well.  Both of them come together and the cost is $9.99 at Jo Anne's. You really don't want the set that has the changeable ends.....I have tried them and these work better.

As always, feel free to contact me if you have further questions!
