Creative Team Submission...

Just wanted to let you all know, I just submitted 3 hybrid projects to the Jessica Sprague Creative Team Search. I love Jessica's products and all of her classes and all she and her website have to offer. I have learned a lot just from her beginner digital scrapbooking class and still have two more in the series to complete.

Her call was out for projects, digital, hybrid or both. Since she made it easy to see what others were submitting by making the a CT Search gallery on her site, I instantly knew I had to submit Hybrid Projects. Most of the enteries were digital scrapbook pages. I have gotten better at these but really think my talent lies with the hybrid projects. I created a wall decor peice out of coasters, a paper bag album(thanks Kathy for the idea & Instructions), and a card set with a matching box. The deadline to enter is today at midnight and results should be out next week!

Just wanted to update you all on my submission and here is a sneak peak at what I submitted...details to follow!

Paperbag Album in Premade Album

I made this album for my hubby for Valentines Day. I used Kathy's idea that I saw over on her blog...I love Kathy Orta's blog Paper Phenomenon and she made a paper bag album that she added to a pre-made leather album that I just fell in love with. Of course, I had to make my own version of one and here it is? If you want directions on how to make this album, click here.

These last two photos show the extra journaling space sheets that are inserted into the paper bags. I just added photos of different times and on the backs journaled about that photo. The other two sheets have lyrics to our favorite songs from back in the day!

This was a really fun album to create! Thanks Kathy!

Welcome Little One Basket and Paper Bag Album

Hi Everyone! I cannot believe how long it has been since I hae posted anything on my blog. For those of you that actually read my blog, I apologize!

I was busy this past weekend working on a Paper Bag Album for my husband's new neice, along with a welcome basket of goddies for her! I purchased the paper bag album as a kit from someone on Etsy but forget exactly who. It was already put together with the ribbon and all I had left to do was embellish the naked pages. I also made about 6 photo / journal mats to slide into the openings of the bags and added a scalloped circle as the tag.

Here is what it turned out like! (sorry the lighting is really bad and my pictures look even worse)

I ended up putting the book in the basket of goodies we were taking to her! Here is what the basket ended up looking like!

I really hope they liked every aspect of the basket. It was a lot of fun to do.
