Michael's and A.C. Moore Haul!

Hello Crafty Friends!

I had a lot of fun this past week, as my husband was off from work and we got to spend a lot of quality time together.  We got to go shopping and take advantage of some crafty sales.  Here are some of the things I picked up.  I've scrapbooked a long time, but I haven't gotten into the newer forms of paper crafting until recently.  So, I'm slowly building up my tool/supply stash.

My Scrap Room

Hello Crafty Friends!

Here is my NEW Scrap Room! It was our guest room, but it was hardly used, so over the Summer I picked out this delicious paint and my husband hooked me up. We had all of the Ikea furniture, I was using one desk and two bookcases, and my husband was using the other desk and one bookcase. I used to have my scrappy space in our basement, where I also had a computer desk. I swapped the computer desk (and computer) with my husband for the extra Ikea pieces so I could be all matchy-matchy AND more organized.

I hope you like it!

Canvas Storage Bins by Martha Stewart hold my daughter's books, crayons, flashcards, etc., and some office paper and electronics (chargers, manuals, etc.).

These Ikea Drona pop-up boxes hold lots of stuff I don't need at my finger tips, but need to get to often.

I don't have any decorations up yet, but I hope to get some things up on the walls soon. So, there will be more to come.

This is where I used to scrap... in what is now solely the man cave!

Thanks for stopping by!  :-)

My First Paper Bag Mini Album "From the Heart" (created April 2011)

Hello Crafty Friends,

Here is my first "Paper Bag Mini Album". I completed it this past Spring.  It's called, "From the Heart". I made it for my Mom. She will be adding her own photos and journaling and any other types of embellishments she wants, so I left it simple. I had a lot of fun creating this album. I learned and tried new techniques, including the assembling of the album (I followed Laura's tutorial from Following The Paper Trail (video).  I look forward to making a lot more of these mini albums.
