my christmas mantel

2011-12-21T21:31:00.000-08:00

so i can be posted on the eighteen 25 blog!

my subway art is caught in the glare! but its there, i promise. in the same spot all year round. i printed out a bunch and gave them to friends and neighbors for Christmas. They all love it!!!

December Green Tangeriens Kit Club

2011-12-16T10:09:00.000-08:00

most of these pictures are from christmas last year. i hadn't done any pages for carter's book. that is one draw back of being so caught up! it is hard to find pictures to scrap for holiday themed kits before they happen!

November Green T Kit

2011-11-15T13:46:00.001-08:00

not much to say about this one. i was glad to have more time to work on my projects. so i did get to spend more time designing my own work than coping CK! My favorite is Mac & Cheese.

Green T October Kit

2011-10-24T11:05:00.000-07:00

i used my woodgrain circle stamp and some UTEE to make them shiny.

this kit was packed with fall and halloween fun! i never made a scrap page for carter's book last year...this was the perfect opportunity to catch up!

Onto 2009

2011-10-18T14:23:00.000-07:00

I hadso much fun scrapping with Jenn and Diana this past weekend! Even though we had a smaller group than normal, it was still a blast. And we were all really productive! I am now scrapping 2009, but realized I am missing some Christmas pictures, so I'll have to revisit 2008 once I find them/reprint them. Here's my 16 pages from the crop.

LO for this week

2011-09-24T13:29:00.000-07:00

Does this look familiar Maegen? It should cuz I copied it from you!!! I did this quick LO today while the girls were at the circus this morning with my parents (lucky them and lucky me), e finally took a nap (which he has been refusing to take the last 4 days), and the house was so quiet!!! I weeded the front yard and then decided to scrap for a bit and next up is uploading more photos cuz I am fresh out (of printed ones mind you, not pictures in general). I am going to try and do at least 1-2 LO a week. It is a nice break. I also sewed the girls some really cute nightgowns this week (at night when kiddos are sleeping) and they turned out adorable so I must post!!

Green Tangerines Sept Kit

2011-09-19T13:42:00.000-07:00

totally forgot to post these!

scrap expo friday night=fun me time

2011-09-11T15:03:00.000-07:00

It was a much needed break and so fun!! I came home with lots of goodies and more boy scrap pps and embellishments!! Yay! I also did two pages and I did one today while pretty much everyone was napping (except Sammy of course). I have been having fun doing these new boy pages (I know it will probably get old after awhile). So most my pages are pretty simple these days, but I think that will be the continuing trend as my spare time is much more limited than in months past!!!

12x12 magnetic wipe board

2011-09-07T17:51:00.000-07:00

I used vinyl to decorate this 12x12 magnetic wipe board I found at Bed Bath And Beyond a year or more ago. Now I have little spots to write in my plan for the week. Hopefully it helps keep the kids entertained and me organized!!!

I have finally entered the scrapbook world again!

2011-08-31T13:52:00.000-07:00

I did this LO last week and it felt great. I wanted to keep going but no me time!!!

I did this one today while Sam was at school and the two others were actually napping (same time never happens). and yes I ignored all my other mom duties and just blogged and scrapped the last two hours. Now I have a few minutes to decide what to do for dinner....hmm......

Diaper Change & Merrie Miss Reunion

2011-08-08T20:55:00.001-07:00

A fellow scrapbooking friend I made from working at Scrapbook Heaven, invited my sister and I over for a cropping party a couple weeks ago. I finally finished up the second layout this past weekend. Hope the naked bum doesn't offend anyone. ;)

August Green T!!!!!

2011-08-07T14:03:00.000-07:00

The August Kit Rocks Socks!
I know I say that every month, but this one really was the bomb. I loved playing with glimmer mists. And bright PP always cheers me up.

project 365

2011-08-04T13:58:00.001-07:00

here are some scrap pages i made for my proj 365. i have been doing a full LO for some weeks. i just can't give up scrapping all together, even though it takes up a lot of space in my house! AHHHH such a conundrum!

My own little scrap fest

2011-06-07T15:56:00.000-07:00

I decided to have my own little scrap fest. I felt left out :-) These are all from Christmas last year. They are for my mom. She likes me to scrap everything ;o) I too am ALMOST caught up on my mom's book. Just have Legoland from 2010 and our April Trip. Not going to get caught up by our June visit, I have too many other things on my plate these next two weeks. Oh well, there is always July!

(this one is actually for my brother. he wanted me to do a book for him, makes for easy bday and xmas gifts)

Almost There

2011-06-06T16:19:00.000-07:00

Thanks to our scrapbook overnighter last weekend, I have almost finished 2008 - the goal Maegen set for me. ;) Jenn really put me to work this time. I was really struggling to keep up with her page count. I'm quite sure she would have beat me if she had not been so very pregnant. Here's my 12 pages from our cropping party.

Green Tangerines June Kit

See more at the Green Tangerines Kit Club Blog and Gallery.

I WIN!

2011-05-22T16:55:00.001-07:00

Here are the LOs I did when Jenn and I were together Friday. We had a really nice day scrappn' in her basement. I did not take super great pics of my LOs. I am really behind blogging and I just didn't want to spend the time.

check back next week for the Green T June Sneak!

May Kit

2011-05-11T17:06:00.000-07:00

here are my creations for the May Green Tangerines Kit. It was an awesome one!

Little Spook

2011-04-18T22:37:00.001-07:00

I'm finally done with Halloween 2008. If I didn't take so many, many pictures, it'd be a whole lot easier to catch up!

This was a lift from CK March/April 2011. The spiders' legs and webbing is hand stitched.

Back on Schedule

2011-04-11T14:57:00.000-07:00

After powering through 6 weeks of Greg working graveyards, life is finally getting back to normal. Our schedule is falling back into place and I am once again finding a time when I can scrapbook (as well as blog, and clean, and exercise, etc.). These layouts were completed at the Scrapbook USA Expo (had so much fun with you Jenn!) and during the boys' nap last Thursday.

easter shirts

2011-04-11T13:11:00.000-07:00

No Bonnets or Pretty Dresses for this HOUSE!

Saw this T-Shirt here a year ago. It was so easy to make. The only thing that would have made it easier is if I had some of this stuff!

easter art

2011-04-08T21:15:00.000-07:00

this is what i did yesterday instead of scrapbooking. or updating my P365. I am just in a craftn' mode right now. I know I will hate myself for slacking off again, but c'mon these needed to be in my kitchen! inspo from here.

3 more down!

2011-04-08T13:10:00.000-07:00

Design from CK Jan issue and I am in love with this fancy pants pp!!

Also copied from Jan CK issue.

And my first boy LO! Yay! It was fun! Kinda simple I know and that's all I get to do before JULY!

Pages from this week!

2011-04-06T12:42:00.001-07:00

trying to get caught up! I have been doing a page a day this week. As you can see, they only took me under 30 min each!! and i also scraplifted from Maegen too with the top 2! Next, I am going to do my first baby boy LO (his ultrasound pics)!!! Kinda scared and excited at the same time!!!

April Kit Released!

2011-04-04T11:12:00.000-07:00

Haha, sorry I forgot to post the sneak, my art wall took over!

the cards:

the DPLO:
the Single LOs:

I loved everything about this kit. I think that elastic ribbon needed to be a headband, but I don't have a small baby girl, so I used it as a trim on my LO.

spring projects

2011-04-04T11:05:00.001-07:00

made this tote bags for the boys instead of Easter baskets. these take up WAY less space. They turned out so good that I want to make one for myself. But to be a purse, not an Easter bag. The Easter bunny does not come to the adults in our house. (we have NO self control when it come to eating treats)

and I made this "peeps bunny bunting" courtesy of this post last year. And subway art from here (thanks Jess for being on top of that one!)

the art wall (and mini tutorial)

2011-03-31T20:47:00.000-07:00

It all started one year ago with inspiration from this blog. Then my parents had our walls painted for Christmas (we chose gray mare). Then I had this idea to buy a really ugly frame from a thrift store and paint it yellow! I'm not gonna lie, I was a little nervous it was going to look like a neutral baby nursery met an Easter decoration, but it looks way cooler than that! I chose to do metal instead of cork because the metal went better with our room, and it seemed to cost the same. Plus, who doesn't love some cute magnets?

So here you have it folks...our "office/front room" art wall.

(here is a view looking at the art wall and the front door for those of you who have been here and can envision our front room)
(and a close up of one of the static pieces of artwork, just because i am so happy with how it turned out!)

and a Mini Tutorial: How to make a magnetic frame.

spray paint all your frames. i chose "strawflower". My frames needed about three coats. And beware, you might paint your garage floor if you are painting in breezy conditions. So be sure to cover MOST of your garage floor.

gather materials: a big sheet of sheet metal (mine was $20 @ Home Depot), tin snips (thanks Reynolds!), work gloves, a ruler, sharpie and masking tape.

Measure, put on your gloves, Cut, and snip off any jagged edges.

put your metal in your frame and use the masking tape to hold it in place. Unless your frame has a nice back. Then just put the back on (at this point I was yelling at myself for throwing away the backs to my two smaller frames! duh!)

(then stand back and admire how awesome you are!) now your frame is ready to be hung on the wall and decorate with kids' artwork held up with cute magnets.

I would like to take a moment to publicly state how awesome my husband is. He spend the good part of an hour tonight helping me hang the art wall. He is awesome or the bomb.com

[I love him]

Easter!

2011-03-28T19:22:00.001-07:00

So I have realized that my apartment is so tiny, there really is only one place for holiday decorations.. So here is my spring decor! I went a little crazy with the hobby lobby 50% off sale... Anyway the subway came from here!

Getting one step closer

2011-03-27T12:56:00.000-07:00

and yes, I made this LO a long time ago for QK and so I still need to add an S to girls for this LO to work!!! i copied your disneyland LO for this one!

I copied another one of Maegen's but I can't remember which one for this one!!! Yeah, I realized that I never scrapped April 09 so I had to!!!

And another Easter '09 page!!!

I am getting closer to finishing 2010!!!! I wanted to finish before baby is born and I am pretty sure I can do it and even start into the new year!! Yay!!!

scrap for my mom

2011-03-19T16:46:00.001-07:00

These LOs I did for my mom when we went to visit in Feb. I guess I didn't have time to post them before. I hope I didn't already post them. I went back a few pages and didn't see them.

And these I just did this week. I did two disney LOs for my mom's scrapbook. I also made a huge 67 page photobook with all our disney pictures. it took a lot of time. I wish that I could share it here, but I can't. So if you want to see it you will have to come visit us. they are the same LO. I copied from the most recent CK. I love this DPLO sketch. super easy.

march kit

2011-03-14T11:43:00.001-07:00

Here are my projects for Green Tangerine's March Kit. I guess I did not take pictures of the cards I made. I will try to remember to take pictures of my April Kit cards :o) I am such an idiot...I did not spell incredible correctly in the journaling of Incredi-Ball. I need spell check for my handwritten journaling. I think I like the last one best. I just love how bright the pictures of C turned out. he is only happy in the water.

If you need some inspiration go check out the other team members projects in the gallery. They rock.

Munich and Salzburg

2011-03-12T09:51:00.001-08:00

While Jesse was coaching this beautiful Saturday morning, I decided to scrap the few photos I had printed.. 30 ish minutes later I finished these two layouts!

I believe there are only 8 more cities to go and then I'll be done! (and only one of those cities should have multiple pages) wahoo! Then it will be wedding album time!

sneak week, march kit

2011-02-25T10:20:00.000-08:00

head on over to Green Tangerines!

i have to admit i had a love/hate relationship with this kit. don't get me wrong...loved the papers and alphas, and the cardstock, even the cute flowers, but hated that it was the exact colors of baby J's first year album. I seriously never want to look at lime, aqua and brown again. (well maybe until I forget all the work that went into creating a million baby LOs)

Yesterday and today

2011-02-17T14:59:00.000-08:00

This LO I copied from Maegen but I can't seem to find it again. Lame I know, hers was cuter.

This I copied from CK, a recent month. I am slowly getting 2010 caught up.

Testing 123

2011-02-16T19:46:00.001-08:00

I just figured out that you can blog from your
phone! love this.

This is the valentine I sent via pic message. Now I won't even have to pull out my computer to post my new scrap pages!

moving my way along

2011-02-16T19:19:00.001-08:00

I finished two cities and one country tonight! (i was actually really proud of myself, i have three hours while jesse is at practice coaching to myself, i did the dishes, three homework assignments and three layouts!) Just have to say, love the pebbles pages. i was sort of forced to use them because i ran out of american craft pages for my binder! anyway so the lighting in my house was horrible so you get a blurry image of it with no glare, and a crisp image with glare! enjoy

feb kit

2011-02-14T11:32:00.001-08:00

(this was based on the sketch that is always included in the kit)

now that the kits have been sent off i can release my projects! due to CHA and some unforeseen busyness my projects did not make it onto the Green Tangerines Kit Club Blog. So you get an exclusive look! My favorite part of this kit were all of the vintage embellishments. I love it when old meets new. Oh and I loved brown, green and blue with a touch of something warm like yellow or red. And the star gems. I wish I had more...they would have been on every page! enjoy!

Finally!!!

2011-02-10T15:38:00.000-08:00

Scrapbook extravaganza (did I even spell that right?)

These pages are from a month ago and so yes, Lera beat me in every way!! She got more done than me and she got them posted way faster than me. I can't even blame it on being endlessly sick because so has she!! I would go into detail....but my kids are already needing me and I don't think I can even remember where they all came from now. Most though were actually from the last month or two of Creating Keepsakes.

Scrap Happy Thursdays

2011-02-07T15:01:00.001-08:00

One of my New Years resolutions was to make scrapbooking more of a priority. I made the goal to scrapbook every Thursday during the boys' nap. The past two Thursdays, I had every reason not to follow through with this, i.e. sickness, the boys not taking a full nap, a messy home and many, many other things to do. But, I did it! I figured if I didn't stick to it the first couple times, there's no way I would keep it up. Here are the fruits of my labor.

ROAR! ROAR! - my own design. I used Jenn's cute dino paper, and if you notice this layout is all pattern paper except for the "shadow" from my dinosaur bites and the strips I journaled on. What happened to me being a solid cardstock girl?

At Five Months Old - lifted from January 2011 CK. I used a flower print on a boy page. I was in a crazy, liberal mood. ;) The swirls on the bottom right are freehanded.

A little bit of Twist

2011-02-04T19:31:00.000-08:00

This is the same wreath that maegen and jen made this fall.. i just put it in a heart shape for my one and only valentines day decoration! **yes i know the frame needs to be painted... i jsut dont have time or spare cash to buy it yet :)

sneak week

2011-01-28T11:17:00.000-08:00

It is sneak week over at Green Tangerines!

go take a look...I dare you!

my projects are not up yet, but will be soon. so there is a little hint for ya!

scrapbook etc. feb 2011

these are the last pictures i scrapped for jack's first year. the next pages i scrap for him he will be 1! so i am going to try something new this year...call me crazy, but i am starting to feel like a slave to my scrapbook. i am going to concentrate on my P365. I will do some full pages in that album and then do a lot of full pages for Green Tangerines Kit Club Design Team. I just realize that if i keep up at this pace I will fill 100 books before I turn 40! (well maybe not)

12 Pages - 1 More than Jenn ;)

2011-01-24T15:05:00.000-08:00

Hooray for scrapbooking overnighters! Thanks to this last one, I scrapped 12 pages (all inspired by October's 2010 CK), and had a blast doing it. I also have 6 more pages planned, that I didn't get to. Wishing, and hoping, and praying and planning that I will get to them soon.

The end of Paris

2011-01-23T13:24:00.000-08:00

I am done with Paris. The majority of the rest of the trip can be done in the pebbles pages, so it should go quicker now (with a few exceptions, like switzlerland and rome). These two were both my own design, i was too lazy to seek inspiration in what little time i had (i did these in 40 min!)

which really turned out to be 2 or three a month. i can't help myself! he is so cute! i hope that i have captured his babiness. now on to toddlerhood!

i started working on these a couple weeks ago. I wanted to get Jack's book caught up for his first b-day. I may still add some LOs of he and carter and our summer visitors. but for now at least it is up to date-ish. I just have January left to do and then I am taking a break to do some sewing projects!

a little bit of Paris

2011-01-15T08:43:00.000-08:00

So it has been REALLY hard to decide what photos to scrap and which ones not to.. because i have SSOO many!!! Anyway, here is about half of consolidated France. Only 8 more places in europe to go!!

I do scrapbook I promise!

2011-01-14T13:58:00.000-08:00

This LO is copied from here.

This one from here.

And again here.

Yay! I did these LO's this last week. Each on a separate night even! I copied all of Maegen's LO's -so thanks for making my life so easy!! I am slowly getting caught up. I have till July!!

green tangerines jan. kit

2011-01-12T19:03:00.001-08:00

here are the layouts i did for the green tangerines january kit. it was a lot of fun. and the papers were so verisile. i actually used some of my left over papers today! i love kits. it is so great to have everything i need in one place.

18th to 25th (minus 23rd)

2011-01-06T20:09:00.001-08:00

i am almost done with my december daily book. i just have to do page 23. but i don't have the pictures yet. J-walk is keeping them hostage. Loser. [you know i love you like a brother.]
and the title page. but i am a little burnt out right now. doing a weeks worth of scrappn in 2 days is a lot of work. and brain cells. I want a silver pen so I can write on my pictures like AliE did.

i green tangerines

2010-12-31T20:28:00.001-08:00

here is some green tangerines love...you will be seeing a lot of their kits soon! i am on the design team (yay! finally!) i have two LOs posted on their blog so far. a single and a double, just keep scrolling.

green tangerines kit club

any super ambitions scrapbook goals this year ladies? how about get caught up to 2011 by june?

14th to 17th

2010-12-18T14:44:00.001-08:00

oh baby jack. i really love you. you really are the cutest baby ever. never grow up ok?!

so how do you get copies of your kids letters to santa when they are old enough to remember you never mailed it? and then do you hide them until they are no longer believers in a physical santa? i guess i could always say "santa gave it back to mommy because he knew she would want to save it."
so i totally copied ali e here, but there wasn't a better way to do it! i haven't written my testimony down in a long time. i am glad i did it.

9th to 13th

2010-12-18T14:17:00.000-08:00

ok, maybe i shouldn't whine so much. i got all the way caught up. gonna photograph the rest right now.

december daily one to eight

2010-12-16T07:45:00.001-08:00

So I know I am 8 days behind. There is no chance that I will get caught up before I leave, or before Christmas for that matter. I have decided that this project is meant for people who do not travel for the holidays or travel alone with two small children to a place where there is no creative time. but i am going to bring my stuff with high hopes that there will be some time for me to work on this project. it just turns out so much better when the memories are fresh. enjoy!

209, TWO HUNDRED AND TEN, 211

2010-12-10T20:29:00.000-08:00

can i get a whoot whoot? we did it! 210 Layouts!!!! Whahooo!!! ok so we may have had to stretch it a little, but we did it in the end, and that is all that matters.

jenn, if you are wondering where my 4th layout went, well it is a funny story. you see. i must have really liked those pictures,because i scrapped them a couple of months ago. see?

so i took the pics off, and used that same sketch for a Green Tangerines Kit Club project. I will post them all when the kit is release Jan. 1st.

205 thru two hundred and 8

2010-12-07T13:32:00.000-08:00

So amazing that Maegen and I were able to scrap over the Thanksgiving holiday despite no husbands and family craziness. Anyhow, we scrapped during the day for an hour or two one day and then one night after the kiddles were in bed. I wish it were more but still impressed at what we accomplished despite not much free time!!

192 to 204? December Daily Foundation Pages

2010-11-19T11:34:00.000-08:00

I must be crazy. But I love the December Daily book. Here are my foundation pages. I am linking this to the AE blog. I copied a lot of ideas from her this year, not many brain cells left to recreate :o).

I am not sure how many LOs I should count. So I did how many would make a 12x12 sheet of paper? That would be 14 ish. I will post the pages as I finish them, but will only count it twice if we become desperate :o)

one ninety 1

2010-11-07T15:31:00.001-08:00

Thanks for the idea Maegen! I was going to scrap today but then thought why not try to whip this little baby up! I improvised a little but it worked! Now my door is not boring anymore!

190!!

2010-11-04T20:52:00.000-07:00

So my husband was a meeting tonight... and I really needed a break form school work and work.. soo i crafted! i found the instructions here . i love it! and i had all of the materials at home already.. (the ribbon was from BedBath and Beyond wedding gifts :)

one80nine

2010-11-04T10:38:00.000-07:00

i found the frame @ target (one sale :o) and added the ribbon and little tag (it says November with a glittery leaf) to dress it up a bit. made one for my mom for her b-day. she never checks this blog so i think i am OK to post it. don't tell her about it!

since i cannot get a decent picture of the two boys together i have been taking good pictures of both of them and printing them on one paper. so far so good!

speaking of target...have you check out the dollar spot lately? they have had some pretty cute scrapbook embellishments. that is where i got the glitter leaves. can't say no to a $1! i got glitter letter stickers too.

2010-11-04T10:01:00.001-07:00

from here V and Co Fabric Wreath. But I took it one step further, turned on my silhouette and put a monogram in the middle. now a little less country, and a little more me.

Our good friend in the ward is getting married so a group of us are throwing a bridal shower for his cute fiance. I whipped up 16 of these pretty invites the other night after the boys went to bed.

My Silhouette provided me with the lovely bride silhouette.

Yay! We are slowly going to reach our number! WEll Jake is gone a YM's tonight and I was trying to decide what to do in my precious quiet time and I was looking at this blog and saw these LOs of Maegen's and thought I can do one of these and so I did in thirty minutes even. The top LO I just finished up from another time long ago that was started and not finished!

Looks like we are on a roll with craftiness, just not neccesarily scrapbooking. Here's a couple more to add to the craft mix.

Beaded Spider Pin - Here's one spider that I am not totally terrified by. I would actually go as far as to say it's pretty cute!

Halloween Decorated Cupcakes - The pumpkin is made by topping your cupcake with half a Hostess donut, icing it, covering it in orange sprinkles and then adding a fondant stem and leaf. The ghost is done my icing the cupcake, sticking a Dum Dum sucker in the middle, covering the sucker with a circular piece of fondant, and then adding two dots of frosting for the eyes.

You probably saw this wreath on the cover of Woman's Day magazine. My friends and I did this project together and it was pretty easy and cheap to make.

This board I just kind of invented. I saw something similar on a blog that I liked. I cut some wood at my friend's house, then painted it white. I then cut out words with vinyl (which you could also do with black cardstock I bet) and rubbed on. I then modge podged over it. So slowly I am trying to decorate my house on a small budget!

And this is the project that is currently sitting on my desk and hopefully I will finish this week and will post! What projects have you been up to?

161-168 (and yes I counted my two pager as 2)

2010-10-24T13:32:00.000-07:00

Here they are finally! Layouts that Maegen and I did while we visited them in CA at the beginning of September. See that didn't take me too long to post-only two months!!! Wow what a slacker I am. I just feel like I have been working on a million projects. Which another post will follow!

158, 159, 160

2010-10-11T21:06:00.001-07:00

158/210 i did this one last week, it has just taken me a while to post. lazy getting my pics off my camera. it has been so long i don't remember where i stole the idea from, probably the oct ck.

159/210 i came up with the one on my own. i just love that measuring tape paper.

160/210 here is my advent calendar. man this was a piece of work! wish i had heat trasfer, but i didn't want to wait for it to come in the mail. i did some thing out of felt and others are 3D stickers. i decided to do 13 days before halloween. carter cannot wait to hang it up! Jenn's is cuter. oh well. we can't all be as cool as jenn.

154/210 copied from here. [PS I am in LOVE with Studio Calico's Page Kits. Really.] the little brad is a snake, you can't see it cuz of the glare, (the seal has nothing to do with it except S is for Snake?)

155/210 copied from here (the title says...just be happy, sorry for the glare, and the franken"T")

156/210 my own design. (i love that stamp set! yazaaah! oh and those stickers are some oooollllddd school scenic route.)

157/210 copied from here

So I got this little 6x6 pad of Sassafrass Lass Apple Jack paper from Peachy Cheap a while ago. Mostly I got it for the embellishments. But I thought it might be fun to use only 6x6 papers. It actually was kind of nice to go all minimalist. Don't worry. I am not turning into Ali, YET. (all my backgrounds are BasicGrey)

Hey! how many of you realize that this is post #302???? Wow! That is a lot of scrappn over the past 3 years!

2010-09-30T08:22:00.000-07:00

Yes a halloween countdown. I am also counting this. My sister found this project on Studio 5 and it is finally finished and right in time. I just hung it up this morning! It ended up costing $11 to make. Oh, and used a lot of shapes from Silhouette which is why it was so cheap to make. Want one?

Instructions (as per requested)

I did 30 squares (yes I skipped 31 to make it an even calendar) that are 4x4 each. I just bought 9x12 sheets of felt, 5 of them (white, green, orange, purple, and sparkly black) and you can get 6 squares out of each sheet. I bought them at JoAnns for .29 a sheet.

I then bought a yard of black felt. I think it was 4.99 a yard and I had a 40% off coupon. Mine was 26x36.

I then downloaded shapes from the Silhouette online store and actually used heat transfer to adhere them to the felt. If you don't have heat transfer, cut out the shapes and then just cut them out of felt or fabric and glue them on.

I then placed on my squares and sewed them on zig zag style. Anyhow, pretty easy....have fun!

this weekend, I sewed a princess and the frog dress for Sammy for Halloween. I will get a better full length picture but it turned out pretty cute! Oh, and since I finished the dress yesterday, she of course had to have her hair done princess tiana style!

145?

2010-09-19T16:33:00.000-07:00

Ok, so last weekend my sister Krissy came to stay since my parents went out of town. She was in desperate need of a dress since she got asked to not only 1, but 2 homecomings which one of them was yesterday. She wanted a short dress, but not skanky. So we looked all around Utah Valley, and what do you know, there was not really a "long" short dress (meaning modest). Well we decided to take matters into our own hands and make it! I admit I was a little nervous, and Krissy was terrified as to if it would turn out. But thanks to both of our amazing skills, a gorgeous and modest dress was made last weekend for only $40. I thought I could add this to our craft blog? and I am hoping you will agree. P.s. I will add my scrap LO's from CA soon!

142, 143-44

2010-09-17T16:40:00.000-07:00

142/210 MME and some random accents. I have done this LO twice now. I love it. It may be my new favorite. (sept CK as seen here by me and here by jenn the amazing.)

143-144/210 a double. what? yes, sometimes i do do a double...and whats more...sometimes i do design my own. crazy pants i know...he recognize that triangle border? yup totally used my silhouette again! not super crazy about the pen lines. they car kind of sloppy. oh well.

141

2010-09-13T11:52:00.000-07:00

141/210 i used the same pebbles inc boy line i have used this entire year! it is kind of fun to see how many LOs you can get with the same papers. i just got those robot stamps...so cute! i tired to do the title with my silhouette, but now that slice master jake has left it is hating me again. maybe he should move in? or at least live one floor up and three apartments down again.

140

2010-09-13T11:41:00.000-07:00

and it is a stretch, but i did use scrapbook supplies...buttons, thread, and chipboard (to make the patterns)

instructions
this is so easy.

plain white onezie (or t-shirt) pre-washed
pre-wash fabric (it MAY shrink sometimes i wash, sometimes i don't)
interfacing (iron on kind, can be double sided, it costs a little bit more, i usually just get the one sided kind)

first cut out your template. i use a cereal box or some cardstock scraps

judge how much fabric you will need. cut out a rectangle (so not your actual shape) and cut out a rectangle of interfacing the same size.

iron on interfacing to your fabric

cut out your shape (turn your shape wrong side up then trace on the back (right on the interfacing) then cut)

pin your shape onto your t-shrit (use a lot of pins so it does not slide)

(if you have double sided interfacing iron it on to your t-shirt)

sew. this is the tricky part. don't sew the shirt together! and i find that any onezie smaller than 12 mo is really hard, so for the smaller sizes i stick to something really simple like a circle or a star. (i use the smallest stitch length and sew around, then i zigzag too, might be over kill but i find that the straight stitch holds it in place while I zig zag...so maybe I should use double sided interfacing :o)

then embellish. i usually hand sew some details (like the whales water spray and the fish's mouth, I used 3 threads of floss) and add some buttons. for the babies make sure the buttons are super secure. but my kids tend to leave them alone (which knowing my kids is pretty surprising)

Jenn and I had a mini scrapbook day on Labor day. I miss her already! I dedicated it to getting caught up on Jack's book, but Carter still managed to sneak in there a few times! We got a lot of work done considering we were still mothering our children (in our heads anyway).

only 70 more LOs to go! We can do it! Rah Rah Rah! Oh PS we are now counting two page LOs as TWO PAGES! If we get desperate on New Years Eve I will go back and recount. So starting now...count your doubles as double! its only fair!

2010-09-02T08:22:00.001-07:00

Hooray for scrapbook overnighters! Otherwise, I might not ever scrapbook. I am still feeling the lack of sleep from this weekend, but it was well worth it. Here are my 10 pages (which happens to be .5 more than Jenn, just saying. ;) ) We always have a little competition between the two of us to see who can scrapbook more pages, which is great because Jenn is a scrapbooking maniac and really pushes me.

105 through one hundred and twelve!

2010-08-17T19:16:00.000-07:00

Missing a pic I know ( i forgot to get it printed!)

I love our big scrapbook overnighters that happen every four months! They are so fun and we get so much done! It is also a nice break from our kids! I got 9 1/2 pages done. The other one is going to get finished this week, promise! So now people, get postin' what you've been doing!

2010-08-11T19:17:00.000-07:00

So since we are stretching it on the crafts, here is one I have been working on the last day. I can't take all the credit or really any of it, but they are my new favorite thing! I got the idea from this fav blog of mine. So clever. Anyhow, I was thinking maybe I would make these for Christmas presents, so let me know if you want one! (ps don't look too closely at my hair, it's gross....hasn't been washed for a few days)

2010-08-08T20:16:00.000-07:00

Since we decided to count paper crafting projects as layouts, I'm going to throw in these bows that I made for a friend at work. She didn't have any bows for her daughter and had overheard me say they were easy to make, so she asked me if I would mind making a few. They were so fun, that I got a little carried away and made about 30 bows in all. My boss saw the finished products and asked me to make some more for her daughter, which I am excited to do. I used a ton of scrapbooking supplies in their creation (ribbon, buttons, brads, paper flowers and even chipboard).

I know, I really need a baby girl!

2010-07-26T20:02:00.000-07:00

Yay! We are slowly getting there. This was copied from here. Yeah I am getting so pro at copying these days. This pp is the famous sasafras that I have done a million lo with. Yes a million.

2010-07-23T17:09:00.001-07:00

100/210 i made this for my friend heather. she is having her first baby girl in a few weeks! this is for her room. she does not have a name yet, but it might be Delaney. So I took a gamble and put a D in the frame! I hope that I do not have to fix it later :o)

101/210 from the pencil lines blog. my baby jack 2 weeks old. he does not look like that any more!

2010-07-10T16:08:00.000-07:00

I started doing some pages for my mom. I am behind a whole year in her book! But it was easy enough to finish the summer since I already did a whole album (26 pages) for our Hawaii trip!

(84/210) we bought this paper at Michael's for 0.20 a sheet! It is old We R Memory Keepers. I used my new rick rack nesting circles.

(85/210) got this one from jenn. used the same paper. the stickers are left over sassafrass lass from other projects.

(86/210) who says you can't have flowers on a boys lay out? well i do. but this is for my mom.

(87/210) and a double pager! this one was so easy...i didn't even cut my pictures!

(88/210) and since we are getting desperate I included the 4x6 sheet protector pages I did for her. this is my favorite way to record an event when you don't have a lot of time.

Eighty Three is a Miracle!

2010-07-04T12:57:00.001-07:00

Miracle of miracles, I scrapped! Just about every day during naptime I say I will scrapbook. Of course when the time comes, I realize that I should clean house instead. I always say to myself that I will clean today, leaving me time tomorrow to scrapbook. I have come to realize that no matter how thoroughly I clean house, with two little boys and a busy hubby, it is always messy again the next day. So I decided to leave the house in its clutter and go ahead and give myself some me time. The next pictures for me to scrap (chronologically) were of July 4, 2008. I thought that was pretty fitting for today's post.

The letters and stars are hand cut because I was too lazy to get out diecuts. Rub-ons are from Scrapworks. I'm not sure about the pattern paper; it was purchased a long time ago.

Ok so can I post the numbers even if I can't show the work yet? Also, I am counting these towards our goal which I think should totally count. Agreed? I will post them Tues as that is when this is getting released! Let's just say a little bit of sewing was involved......
