Graduation

Its in the air can you feel it?  The end of the school year and Graduations.

The Announcements the school did this year were okay, but we wanted something different for Seminary so we used the Criss Cross pattern and this is what we came up with.

We only made a dozen or so and it didn't take a lot of time.

We used Flat Black Cardstock and Double Sided paper from Kiaser Craft.  We dressed it up a little with ribbon, a flower and a glittered brad.   It was so easy to do and we loved the results.

Come in and check out all of our school and graduations papers and embellishments.

Scrapbook Challange

Here is another Scrapbook Challenge, just in time to use all those pictures you took over Mother's Day.

Here are 5 things I have learned from my mom

1. How to make the best Potato Salad.  (if you don't believe me, ask my Brother-in-law!)

2.  It will never stay clean but clean it anyway.

3. Your right, Life isn't fair... Deal with it!

4. If there is a water fight, its best to go outside.

5. You can laugh or cry, Laughing is funner.

To get you started here is another layout recipe from Bazzill Paper

Hamburger/Hotdog Card

Are you ready for a new project?  This one, the Hamburger/Hotdog Card is a lot of fun.  Once you get the hang of it, it isn't too hard either.  So grab some paper and lets get started.

Supplies: Double Sided Cardstock.  (I used Hoopla by We R Memory Keepers) , Circle Punch, Ribbon, glue and a paper trimmer.

Start by Trimming your paper to 8 1/2 x 11.  Fold in half the long ways (Hot dog) unfold, and then fold in half the short way (Hamburger).

Cut the bottom crease to the middle of the paper.  Fold the opposite corners.  One in and one out.(Try folding the corners in different directions for a different look.)

Fold the Bottom Left hand side up with the corner folded out, glue the top edge.  Fold the Right side over the Left side and Glue the top edge.

 

Fold the last flap around to the back Glue the side and top.   You should now have 3 pockets.

(two in the front and one in back.)

Make Three tags of different sizes.  I used a circle and ribbon to finish them off.

Place the tags in the pockets.  Thats all there is to it.  You might want to practice a little on some scrap paper but once you get the hang of this cute card, you'll be making them for everyone.

Don't forget to come into the store and check out all of our fun paper.  Sign up for a class or two also.

Have a great weekend and Happy Scrappin'

Family Reunion Box

First a big Thank you to all those who helped make National Scrapbook Day a success.  We had so much fun doing make and takes, classes and the crop.  We had some very talented ladies who put together some amazing pages and products.  Good job to all of you.  (and for those who couldn't make it, we hope you had a great scrapbooking weekend where ever you might have been.)

One of the things we spotlighted and used a lot in our classes was the Scor-Pal.  This is an amazing tool that can do so much more than just score cards.  Here is a little box I put together using the Scor-Pal.

It is actually suppose to be a recipe box (and you can find the instructions here) but I am going to use mine to keep all of the family reunion information in.  I can keep it by the phone or carry it with me. And its much better than a notebook.

The more I use the Scor-Pal, the more I love it, and I know you will too!

A school Poster

So my daughter is running for SBO (Student Body Officer) and needed a poster ASAP.  (Kids, they always give us time to plan and prepare, right?) She wanted to do something with a pirate theme and I remembered seeing the new Digital Downloads from Quickcutz.  So we pulled out me Silhouette (my very most favorite tool!), downloaded a couple of designs and had two posters put together in no time.

I would be lost without my Silhouette.  Its a digital cutter that can do so many things.  Of course I use it with all my scrapbooking and card making but did you know it can do vinyl too.  Home Decor is so easy with the Silhouette!  Handmade gifts are so fun to give and easy to do with the silhouette.  And as we found out last night so are those last minute school or church projects.

Come in for a free demo or sign up to take a basic class.  We know you will love this wonderful tool as much as we do!

Scrapbook your day

You do so much for everyone, do you scrapbook it?  Here is a challenge.  Pick an ordinary day and keep a notebook and pencil handy.  Write down everything you do that day from the mundane like brushing your teeth, fixing lunch and gassing the car (ouch!) to the exciting (like finishing a project, going on a hot date with your special someone or visiting with an old friend.)  Then scrapbook your day.  You can use your favorite photo or some less flattering ones- or even no photo at all.  Just get it down on paper.

And don't forget, we have all of your favorite scrapbook supplies.  We just got an order from We R Memories.  We have your favorite albums, new paper and lots of Embellishments.  Have you checked out the new Big Bite?  It is so fun and easy to use.  Stop in and have a sales associate show you how simple it is to put eyelets and wholes ANYWHERE on your pages and projects.

Enjoy your weekend and
