A New Endeavor...

Well I am getting pretty caught up on my personal scrapbooking. One of my most favorite parts of scrapbooking is "making" the paper... I love to find the perfect papers that complement each other and embellishments are my friends too!!

So, I am going to give a try to selling my layouts on Etsy! Here are some examples of what I am selling...

Thanks for stopping by... I will share some of my other layouts as I finish them!

Well hello again!!! We are finally getting back into a schedule around here. I was sorting through my pictures on my computer and came across some christmas layouts (i know they are a little early) that I wanted to share with you. They were "crafted" with the SEI's Glitzmas line.

This was great paper to work with I loved it!!

I am toying with the idea of becoming a Memory Works consultant... if you are or know anyone who is please let me know what you think and if it is working for you or them... Thanks!!

A Scrapbook Layout...

Here is scrapbook LO I just finished for my son's scrapbook... I did follow a sketch. I love this line of people... I think My Minds Eye!!! I had to add him at the end because I forgot him and I think it made the page!!!

The chipboard letters are from the dollar scrapbook section at Target. I just added the dashes with a black marker.

Thanks for looking... I am heading up to my scrap room now... hopefully I will accomplish allot today!!! We will see!!

Some new Scrapbook Layouts!!!

Wow it sure has been along time since I have been here. I have been doing allot of layouts lately, finally that the holiday rush/season is over. Here are a few of my favorites...

This one was when we were on the QEW in Toronto and my DH would not pull off for my son.... poor kid. He was not able to go (a little "stage fright") so we still had to pull off anyway.

This one was an Easter layout that I scraplifted from a magazine..

Thanks for stopping by... I have to go start getting ready for an eleven hour crop next Saturday. I cannot wait I am going to try to break my 36 page record!!! I'll let everyone know next weekend!!!

Become a Fiskateer!!!

Tags for Cards and a Tip at the End!!!!!

I just wanted so show off some cute tags I made for some cards... I love these calendar chick stamps!!! I want to do a whole line of calendar chick cards -- how cute would that be!!!

I may even use some of these for gift tags for chirstmas gifts!!! Thanks for stoppin by!!! I will post the cards I make when I get them finished.

I got this tip from a friend of mine. She read somewhere, when you finish doing scrapbooking layout try to make at least cards with the scraps. I am going to try this we will see.... I will let everyone know!!!

Close to My Heart Cards!!

Here are some cards I made with the Close to My Heart stamp set (I forgot the name) that I got free when I hosted a party in June!! I was going to put them in m y Etsy store but my mother-in-law bought them!!! My first "in-person" sale!!!

A girl at work also asked me to make some for her but with different colors!!! So exciting!!

Here I go AGAIN... Another Chipboard Wordbook!!!

This book is for my Grandmother's 90th Birthday celebration!!!

Most of the paper and embellishments are from Making Memories, but some of the cardstock is from Close to My Heart. I got the 8 x 8 Making Memories pack from Big Lots for only $3.00 (how exciting).... and all the other matching embellishments from all different places including cropchocolate.com and peachycheap.com!!!

I could not beleive everything being offered (at cropchocolate and peachycheap) and everything I was finding was going to match!!!

I will keep everyone updated!!!

More Chipboard Wordbook Pictures.....

I asked each of the kids Poppi is...... I think my dad even had a few tears in his eyes when the read their quotes....

Now I am going to make my grandmother a book that says "FAMILY".... We are celebrating her 90th birthday in July!!

I better get back to work!!!

Finished Chipboard Wordbook!!!

Well here it is..... My dad loved it!!!

This was a very fun project!!! I usually do 12 x 12 pages only and this was great because it didn't take as long to actually feel like I accomplished something (ex. a full year of one of my children's lives...)

I have a few more pictures to post....
