Recent Creations

Here are some things I've been up to lately... I'm been very busy... lots of swaps!


Alterd notepad, using Daydream paper. I actually found this paper really hard to work with. Its very busy. But, I'm pleased with how this turned out. This was for a swap, so I'm excited to see the other artwork I get back from it after the end of the month.


ABC book pages. I did A and Q. Again, this was using the Daydream papers and again it was pretty hard for me to work with. I don't have a photo of my Q page, but I think it turned out cute. I made 27 of each of these, again for a swap, and when the swap is complete I'll get a full alphabet set back. I'm excited to see it.



Train layout. I used the last of my Life Delights paper pack for this one and finally inked up the "Life's a Jungle" stamp set for the animals. I did this during another crop with my sister Emily. I'm really pleased with how it turned out. Needs journaling, and probably another embellishement over the the elephant. The layout concept comes from CTMH's "Cherish" scrapbooking book.


Funny face layout. I love these photos. This is the Magic Moments paper pack, and the layout concept is from CTMH's "Reflections" scrapbook program. Again, this needs journaling and embellishments. I also did this one at the crop with Emily.
You should also check out my personal blog and check out the giveaway I'm doing. I hit 100 posts on that blog in December and I'll be giving away a set of cards (probably 3x3 cards) hand-made by me. Leave a comment on the giveaway post before midnight on January 31st to enter.

Altered Mini-Composition Book Swap

I've been busy lately, just not super busy with much paper-crafting creating. After my open house and the crop with Emily, I got busy with some Christmas crafting... specifially I made this quiet book for my little girl. It was a fun project, but took a lot of time.

I started creating again this week, this time working on some consultant swaps that I've signed up for. Here is the first one I've finished... its an altered mini-composition notebook with a matching pen and 3x3 card. I made 8 of them and I'm sending them off to another consultant, who will sort them out and sent me back one of mine plus six more made by six other consultants. I'll use them for hostess gifts, among other things, when I get the swap back at the end of January. Its been fun to get back to crafting...
