I want to send HUGE THANK YOU to Imaginsce for giving me such a wonderful opportunity and fabulous package of goodies! They really were a treat to work with! I hope you enjoy my project! I’ve got lots to share, so let’s get started!! Since I have so many pages/photos, I will keep my words to a minimum! :-)

Remember, you can click on any photo to enlarge.

I used my goodies to create a vacation mini album. I started with a 6x6 chipboard album that has been waiting in my stash for just the right project! The black chipboard really makes everything pop! I even used my Imaginisce i-rock and hot rocks to enhance some of the embellishments throughout the album! Dutch Scallop Square Frame

All Aboard!!

Hello! I came back from vacation to have my computer crash a couple days later! Aack! Thankfully they were able to recover all my info and photos! Whew! This was the 4th trip to the shop since the beginning of the year! Hopefully we’ve got all issues resolved now!

Here is another project I created with my Shawn Davis Designs kit. Shawn sent me this adorable little Maya Road train mini album along with these adorable My Minds Lime Twist papers. I compiled some of my favorite photos of both my boys together through out the years.

As always, click on any photo to enlarge.

A closeup of the back cover.To create the wheels, I cut circles with my cricut. Then, again using the cricut, I cut rings slightly smaller and adhered them with pop dots for a bit of dimension and interest.

More October Afternoon goodies!

I’m here! I’m here!!

A couple weeks ago, I started this project using the October Afternoon goodies in the Alternate Kit from Life Preservers. I finally got a chance to work on it again.

I perused the local thrift shop and found this old book for 50 cents! I loved the theme of the cover and thought it would be perfect for a mini I wanted to do using my school photos.

After removing the pages from the book, I used my Crop-O-dile, to punch holes.




Here are some of the pages. I am missing photos from a few years. I will add more pages as I aquire those photos.

a close up of a few of the techniques I used.

non kit items used: cork stickers, metal charm, letter pebbles, acrylic letters, trim, lable holder, punches, marker, Distress Ink, stitching, Distress paints, cardboard, stickles, chipboard, gemstones, pearls, felt, burlap, buttons, staples, badges, tab, coffee cup coaster, floss, grunge paper, rubons

What an awesome weekend!! We had so much fun at the Life Preservers crop!! It’s not to late to check out all the great challenges and make N takes! Incredible inspiration there!! We have until Nov 1st to get them finished and posted!! I am so glad for the extension! I was having to much fun to accomplish very much! I did manage to get one challenge and one make N take finished. I am hoping to get several more completed throughout the week. We’ll see…the school just sent Drew home with a fever. Cross your fingers that he doesn’t get to sick, and that I don’t get it!!


I created this for Krista's Bingo Challenge. I used 10 or more buttons, staples, torn paper, and a stamped image.






I also finished Rhonda's Mini album Make N Take. I am going to slip this into Drew's stocking for Christmas. Naaa, I'm not to worried about him coming here and seeing it! I decided not to post photos of the pages this time. It is about a big hunting trip, and I didn't want to offend anyone with the contents.

been busy!

I’m back!! For the past few weeks, I have felt in a bit of a scrappy slump. Thanks to Von and my October Life Preservers kit, I am feeling creative again!! Wohoo! Von's kits are always just the pick-me-up I need!
I tried and tried to come up with ideas for the Maya Road Sheer House mini album in the project kit. Beings the farm girl that I am, it kept screaming “barn” at me, soooo barn it is!! Take a gander and let me know what you think!!
*don't forget, you can click on the photos to enlarge them*



I tried to stick with just the Pink Paisly papers and punchouts from the kit as closely as possible. To create the trim on the barn, I cut stips from the excess on the punchout page. For the cow, I cut the white body parts from the punchouts!
