Layout Challenge

I just uploaded this pic of a layout I just made based on a sketch challenge for soulscrappers.com.

It's a picture of most everyone in my husband's family taken on Christmas Eve at our annual gathering. Missing is a brother, a brother-in-law and a nephew. But, luckily our niece, from North Dakota, and her husband and baby were able to make the trip.

Scary Doctor - SoulScrappers.com Challenge

SCARY DOCTOR?!?! I don't even think the dog was scared!

The challenge was to use all the embellies we received from Shazza in Australia. I used everythig she sent and added the date (2004 and the stitching). I think it turned out very well!

Christmas Card Lay-out Challenge

The first soulscrappers.com challenge I've posted in a long time.
I took the front of a Christmas card (red and white paper) and used it on white
cardstock to create this lay-out.

Label Bag Project for New Year's Day

I like to swap FB's (friendship books) and LB's (label bags). I started out on Swap-bot.com but, have found new swappers through the FB's and LB's I have received along the way.

Here is a quick tutorial on how to make homemade envies.

I only used a few tools.

My scissors, bone folder, personal trimmer and double sided tape.

I used a Stampin' Up! envie (roughly 3X3).

I opened it up and used it for my template.

Then I traced around it...

Cut it out...

And creased it on four sides.

Fold on the creases.

I used the double sided tape on the small tabs. You will want to make your tape pieces just a little bigger than the piece here. (UUuuuuuuhhhhh! My nails look pretty!)

Then just fold up the bottom tab and fold in the side tabs and press down on the tape.

I made all these envies in just a few minutes....well, it seemed like only a few minutes. I was watching season 1 of LOST on Netflix!

Happy envie making!

My Scrap Space

Well....it's New Year's Eve and I'm watching American Pickers on the History Channel. Soooo...I thought I'd post some picks of my scrapbook room now that my new TV has been installed. I can't wait to get the satellite hooked up so I can work in there.

I think it's funny that it looks so organized but, I'm still always looking for ways to get it more organized. Almost everything has a place and I try to put things back in their place once I've used them. Hopefully we will be able to get Dish out next week to add in a receiver! I should be all set up just in time to start the soul-scrappers GLEE CLUB challange next month. I'm exicted.

Happy New Year to all!
