My Minds Eye Layout Class

This was a class I taught at Paper Daisies using My Minds Eye Miss Caroline collections. Perfect for the county fair or any summer/fall activity. I just love how it turned out. There are still 2 kits availble at Paper Daisies and I have one in my Etsy Store.

National Scrapbook Day at Paper Daisies

This years National Scrapbook Day was probably the best crop I have ever been too. It was so much fun to crop all day Saturday and Sunday. I could have cropped Friday but my body was fighting me. Wendy and Marie at Paper Daisies totally rocked the weekend. It was superb. I also participated in an online crop with Big Picture Scrapbooking and had fun working on my pages using there suggestions for challenges.

This was my space on Saturday. The pink carryall was our gift and had lots of goodies. So cute, I love it and it is PINK..........

These are 4 of my layouts for our trip to Arizona and our journey down Route 66. I so loved that journey, still need to get the pictures done, so behind yikes

This was a challenge to create a memory from my childhood / youth. So this was about my roommate Lynnette and I going to 7-11 to play Ms. PacMan

I had some kits to finish so I did these on Saturday and the pages on Sunday. What a great time and am already looking forward to next year..

Paper Roses

OK, here is my latest project. Just love the paper roses and there is so much you can do with them. These fun jewelry pieces are fun for young and old. I am taking the plunge into the land of Etsy and you can purchase these one of a kind treasures there.

SEI Nature Kit

These were 2 projects in the SEI March Kit and my mom loved them so much that I had to create them for her and they were a hit. Love the awesome colors with the butterflies and the paper in general was awesome. SEI you outdid yourself with this fun kit.

Creating a Craft Room #1

Part of the battle of getting my craft room looking the way I want it too and having my tools ready to grab, I decided to use vinyl and paint to add some pizazz. The first one is a Pampered Chef tool caddy and the second one is from Michaels. I really like the colors. More ideas to come to show off my craft space

New Zutter Books

Having fun creating or recreating themed books for others to make. This darling leprechaun made his appearance again. A great place to showcase those St. Patricks Day pictures.


New to the group is this Pot of Gold. Each coin is attached to a fun saying about luck. This would be great if you wanted to add your own journaling or talk about the photos in the album




The bunny and the egg were redone withh current papers from 3 Bugs and American Crafts. The new papers created and brand new look and were alot of fun.

Daisy and the snow

I just love watching her. She loves the snow and just happen to have my cell phone handy when she decided to roll around in it. As you see, she was enjoying herself.

December through my I-Phone

I kept my I-Phone close during the month of December and took pictures to show what happened in my world. I then put together this digital layout. Fun, fun, fun!!!

Canvas Frames = Mini Tabletop Albums

This was a really fun project. I took two 8x10 canvas' and started creating hinged albums for Christmas pictures.

First I painted the edges and inside the back side of the frames.
Second I cut paper to fit each section and adhered it with Modge Podge
These steps are time consuming because everything has to dry.




I took page protectors for 6x6 albums and created mini albums to fit snug into the inner part of the frame. I did have to cut the width down to fit.
I used chipboard to make the album base and then used brads to hold it all together. Used coordinating papers to create pages.

I printed up some Christmas song lyrics and added those and some flowers to create something special.



These attach together with a hinge and you have an instant album that can be left open or stored away on a book shelf. Have fun and creating something wonderful. The possibilities are endless

New Year and New Goals

I have to say that there is so much on my mind. Some things I can share and others that I can't. Change is looming - I am optimistic that it will all be good. One thing I have not done enough of, is creating. I have so much to do and so many great tools to use and I am missing this key component of who I am.
So, watch here and I will show you the cool things I am creating and also review the tools I use. So many times we have things we never use cause we don't know how to or we just don't use them.
My first goal is to get this area I call a craft room in order so that get down to just creating.
I will show some before and after shots of how all this came together and hope to inspire others in their creative space.
That being said, some major health issues still loom and a medicine adjustment can make life hard but as long as I can create and share, then I am a happy girl.
Would love to hear about what you all are working on and what does 2012 hold for you. First thing to do is create an idea journal to keep notes of ideas when they spark. Creating is my word - just keep creating.
Happy New Year and God Bless you all
