I'm Back! with a scrapbooking project to share

I'm Back!  I have not been crafting for a while now.  Managing my IBS has kept me pretty busy for months.  I am happy to report I am doing much better and have gotten back to having some free time to do some papercrafting.  In honor of Virtual Scrap Book Night over on Splitcoast Stampers... here is a scrapbook a friend asked me to make for her coworker who is expecting.  

Smash Sunday

It's Smash Sunday again, and today I am sharing some pocket pages I made to hold more books I want to read. While the page I shared last week has a ton of books I want to read, there was still a whole bunch more. I decided to make some pocket pages that were just pretty and could hold anything, not just books I want to read but maybe places I want to go or things I want to do, Leap List stuff. I can just slide anything in the pockets and change it up as I go along.

Saw this art work over on Kellie Winnell's page and had to CAS it. It is pink and matches my pages! Thanks Kellie for inspiring me to Smash! There is a great Facebook group where everyone shares their journals here.

I used some Inkadinkado clear stamps from a set called Thoughts For The Day. I colored them in with Copic RV34 and some stickles. I added some Paper Layers and stickers from the Glitz Pretty In Pink kit. Finally I added in some Smash tape and SmashPad pages and topped it all off with an tin butterfly ornament I got from the dollar fifty bin at Michael's.

Smashing Sunday

I have been bitten by the Smash bug. I got my first Smash Journal on Friday. I had fun breaking it in. I decided to do a layout about reading since that is my other obsessive pastime. Plus it was a perfect excuse to use this new Bedhead stamp from Saturated Canary. Looks just like me! I just finished reading Great Hexpectations by H.P. Mallory this morning.

The very first page I made was about books I wanted to read. Of course I ran out of room because there are a lot of books on my reading wishlist. I covered over the first page in the Red Doodle Smash Journal completely. It was orange. I hate orange.

I decided to cover over the left inside page also to include more books. I still have a bunch more but these are the ones I want to read first.

Here are all the cool Smash goodies I picked up to get me started. I got the Like This Smash Tape, the Entertainment Smash Pad, Red and Blue Smash Stickies plus some cool finds from the Michael's $1.50 bin. I got some Shabby Chic Clothes Pins and a cool vintagey lined Paper Pad.

Scrappy Pages

Hi Everyone! I know I have been quiet for a few days. I am working on a scrapbook to give to one of my best friends as a Wedding gift. We are also giving her a small album from all her friends for her shower. Here are my two pages from the group album. I am not sure about most of the supplies as they were mailed to me by one of the other ladies planning the shower.

Here is what I did add to the kit....Stampin Up markers in pink and yellow colors...not sure which ones, SU! rub ons and stamps that match Walk in the Park collection, SU! Simply Scrappin Kit You Are Sweet, PTI Sumer Sunrise cardstock, Martha Stewart Daisy Margarita edge punch, Copics Markers YG03 YG13 RV06, YG95, Y38, Nesties Label One

Baby Time

Here is a Baby Boy scrapbook page I made during the snow storm Saturday. I used my Sew Mini to do some zig zag stitching to jazz up the page a bit and added a cute little giraffe stamp from The Angel Company. (Copics used: Y32, Y35, Y38, B41, B0000, B02)

Close ups:

As promised, here are pics of my new baby "neice" Ava- only 10 days old...

Scrapbook for Baby Ava

I have been hard at work on my Christmas cards, so until they are done I figured I would post some pics of the Scrapbook that I made a few weeks ago for my best friends baby girl Ava.
