Fall Flowers

I love the Fall Flowers Designer Paper! It has to be one of my favorites using all of the best colour combos! In my eyes anyways. Today was a busy day I had a workshop and then I tried to spend some time with the fam and did a bit of spring cleaning then decided to paint my kitchen! Well I didn't paint it today I just decided that it needed it! LOL I hope you enjoyed your weekend and March Break.

Recipe:

Cardstock: Old Olive, Kraft, Really Rust and Very Vanilla.

Stamp Set: Thanks SO Much ( I think)

Scrappin For Fun!

Irecently took part in my first scrap booking crop. I have never even been to one of these before in all my years of scrap booking so it was a new experience for me! The CM demo there had a Cricut which I am totally in love with and I am dying to get myself one for my Scrappers 6 Club! You will Love it ladies! OMG but anyways! SO I worked away on a few layouts. It was great to scrapbook for fun..Its been awhile and I have alot of catching up to do. These pictures are of Jackson when he was about 1 month old. Abby used to get so upset when Jackson would cry she didn't like seeing him upset. She is such a little mother. I love the little rub on quote from the Friendship Blooms SAB rubons. Such a perfect saying for the picture. It says a small thing done in great love is a great thing! There aren't enough m&m's in the world to get them to sit that close now! Or as they call them W&W's! He he. I hope you had a great weekend and stayed warm!. Enjoy the snow!

Brag Book Tutorial

Supplies that you will need:

1- 4 3/4" x 9 1/4" piece of card stock for back and spine of book
1- 4 3/4" x 6 1/4" piece of card stock for front of book
Card stock and patterned paper for finishing touches
Paper cutter with scoring tool or bone folder
1/16" handheld circle punch
Clear Envelopes
Brads for spin
Other accessories of choice for the front of the book
Sticky Strip

I got this idea from Roxy who did a great Tutorial for this cute little book for Splitcoast it can be seen here. Check out her blog is great too!


Step 1
Score your 4 3/4" x 9 1/4" piece of card stock at 1" and 2" length wise

Step 2
Fold your card stock over at the 2" score mark. This will form the spine of your book.

Step 3
Apply Sticky Strip to the end of the front panel. Attach front panel to spin like so....

Step 4
Adhere the 6 1/4" x 4 3/4" piece of card stock (your front cover) to the exposed Sticky Strip.

Step 5
Peel the plastic lining of your clear envelope seal, line the envelope up with the back of your book and tape down. Layer all envelopes on top of each other. Use as many envelopes as you would like pictures in your book . The envelopes will be your page protectors for your photos.

Step 6
Use your hole punch to make holes for your brads. You can use your thumb as a ruler on both ends Learned this trick from Roxy or just measure or eyeball about and 1' or so in from the end. The punch will go through both all the card stock and envelopes with no problem

Step 7
Attach your brads.

Step 8

Decorate the front of the book. I used the Enjoy Every Moment stamp set as well as Flower Fusion atttached with a brad to the center of the image , and cutie Pie DSP. I also stamped on double stitch ribbon with Staz-on and added a build a brad. Basic instructions are shown here:

Build a Brad- Stamp small image punch it out with the 1/2' circle punch adhere to brad with glue dot or other adhesive and then apply bubble on top.

Viola finished product! Isn't it so cute! A great idea for a shower gift! You could pre make grandma brag books for the mommy to be! Well I hope you enjoyed the tutorial and will give it a try!

Wanted! Bedazzled Brads

This is a card I made using WANTED. You can add bling to your brads my heating them and dipping them in irr. Ice embossing powder and then heat setting them! It dosn't work with all brads I have found that the pewter ones turnout the best!! I made the scallop around the horses by cutting out a circular mask with acetate and the coluzzle. Then I used the small star stamp from this set and stamped the image all the way around the edge of the mask. After you remove the mask!! Ta da a scalloped frame!!! How fun! I will be posting a tutorial tommarrow so be sure to come back and check it out! Please see my revised class list for march Classes I had to changed a few dates. good Night all! Be sure to check out the eclipse!!
