2013 Scrapbook Calendar

This free photo slideshow customized with Smilebox I sat down last night and finally got my 2013 Scrapping Calendar completed.  I scored when it was 70% off at Michael's after Christmas and then I got my photos for one cent each from Snapfish.  Check it out! ~peace and blessings~ Lisa

Scrapbooking Calendar 2012

I spent this afternoon making my annual scrapbooking calendar. This year I used a kit from Recollection. The theme is devoted...love that for my family!

Valentine's Day Tin~Teacher Gift

This is my first tin for Valentine's Day. I made it using Recollections Basics Scrapbook Paper, Bazzil Cardstock in red and my Cricut. I used the George and Basic Shapes Cartridge and the Jasmine cartridge for the font.

This is the top of the tin, which we'll fill with Hershey's Kisses for the kids' teachers. I am probably going to add some red ribbon to the tin above the heart....just don't have any red ribbon at home.

Thanks for stopping by!

2010 Calendar~My Snow Day Project

I made a scrapbook calendar for myself yesterday during our snow day. It took me all day, because of my little helpers and several other necessary tasks, to finish. I'm pleased with the results. I used a scrapbook calendar kit by Basic Grey. I had made one last year using the same kit and loved the ease of having everything together in one spot. You can view it here.

Thanks for stopping by!

Altered Journal~Remember

My friend asked me to make her an altered journal in which to write her memories. After searching the internet for inspiration, I came up with this design. The papers are from a Best Occasions punch out pack from Wal-Mart in Jewel Tones. I purchased the composition book at the Dollar Tree. This time I secured the paper with Mod Podge. It worked beautifully, although messy. I hope she is pleased!

Getting Photos Organized

I'm always trying to organize things to make life a bit simpler for me. I bought the Cropper Hopper Photo Storage Box sometime last year from QVC. Today while cleaning up my scrapbooking/card making supplies, I decided that I should finally organize the photos that were in piles all over the table into the plastic envelopes and put them inside the storage box. What a freeing activity! I feel so much better that my photos are arranged by topic and/or date and will be easy to pull out when I'm ready to scrapbook them. Here it is with the filled cases:

I'm so tickled that I accomplished this activity. I'm also working on organizing my scrapbook paper, stickers and embellishments by theme. It's starting to come together.

Have a day full of blessings,

Lisa

2009 Scrapbook Calendar

This is a slide show of the 2009 calendar I've been working on for myself. It features pictures of my kids. :0) It's not my best work ever, but it was a first attempt at using rub-on transfers. The calendar was part of a kit by Basic Grey that I purchased at Michael's. I'm going to get three 2010 calendars when they come out and make them for the grandparents as Christmas gifts.



Blessings,

Lisa
