A Few Things I've Made

Do you ever feel like you've been running and running and running?! And then when you finally sit down, you can't even remember what you've been so busy doing? That's how I've felt lately. We've had so much going on, and it's not over yet.

We've had vacation, wedding showers, visiting family, weddings, funerals, church events. It seems like if you can name it, we've done it. : ) Anyways, I have had a little bit of free time - I don't know where it came from!  - but I've been able to do a little bit of crafting.

I had a friend have a baby about a month or so ago. So I decided to make her a cute little scrapbook to document all those precious moments with her new baby boy. Here are a few of the pages:

I was also able to make a pair of pants for The Husband to match a jacket I made a few years ago.

There were a few flaws, but nothing I couldn't hide with a few more stitches... : )

Have a good weekend!

Cross Project

This is my latest project. I made this as a birthday gift for someone. This is one of my favorite projects that I've made so far! What do you think?

I bought two wooden crosses from Hobby Lobby. I spray painted the larger one and the sides of the smaller one. Then I modpodged scrapbook paper onto the smaller one and roughed up the edges a little bit. I used Liquid Nails to glue the smaller cross onto the larger one. Then I modpodged the little crystals onto the wood and the paper. Pretty easy! And it looks beautiful! 

Enjoy!

Church Craft Night

Last night our church had a craft night for the women. We made magnet boards and a scrapbook page. I was in charge of showing them how to create the scrapbook page. Here's what we did!

Magnet Board

For the magnet board, we used small cookie sheets. Some women painted theirs, but I just left mine how it was. We used mod podge to adhere the scrapbook paper to the cookie sheet. Then we drilled holes in the top to put ribbon through to hang it. There wasn't any ribbon that really worked with my colors so I will have to find some. We also had magnets to put on our board. 

Scrapbook Page

For the scrapbook page, I used the Cheerful paper. I cut out a bunch of different owls from the Hoot-n-Holler Cricut cartridge for everyone to choose from. They got to pick out their owl, two photo mats, a journaling spot, and stickers. 

Enjoy!

Invitations and Cards

Today I also wanted to share with you just a couple of cards I've made recently for friends and family. Both of these were made with the Creative Memories sbcStudio software.

We had a surprise birthday party for my mother-in-law last month, and I was asked to create the invitation. Here's what I came up with:

Then a friend asked me to create a Christmas card for her and her husband with a photo of them. Here is the Christmas card. They had their own photo in the spot and their names in the place of 'Me and Mine'.

What do you think? Do you enjoy making cards for other?

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

That's me ringing my bell!! (you know us scrapbookers have to ring our bell anytime we finish a page! : ) )

I've finished my wedding scrapbook! And just in time for our 1st anniversary! Yay for me! Now on to the next scrapbook! I'll be doing one of all the holidays, birthday celebrations, and vacations which will start with our honeymoon in Eureka Springs, and I'm also wanting to do a smaller book of us getting our house fixed up before moving into it.

What scrapbook have you been working on?
