Baby Shower Invitation

Here is a cute baby shower invitation I just created using my digital scrapbook program.  I have a wonderful program from the company Creative Memories.  I've created a lot more than just scrapbook things with it over the years like this invitation but also event programs and such.

My Ladies Bible Study always throws a shower for our expecting moms in the group.  We have had two showers this year and a house warming party too.  It is so much fun designing and creating digital artwork.

I am linking this up to One Project at a Time @ Bowl Full of Lemons

Happy Scrappin'

Caroling in the Mall

Oh the weather outside is frightful!  Here in Dallas, TX we are having our first ice storm of the season.  It's recorded a half inch of ice is out there!  The power is still on here but many are without.  I'm staying in where it's warm working in my craft room listening to Christmas carols and decided to make this page of my best friend's youngest on a field trip caroling in the mall.

Clothes Pin Frame

So I have all these adorable pictures of my grandson from the pumpkin patch but with all the other holiday activities and obligations I have not had enough time to get them in the scrapbook.  I want to display them while it is still autumn and before we start pulling out all the Christmas decorations.  I found a great frame at Pier 1 that can hold and display them until I can get them in the scrapbook!  This is so cool!

Gobble Gobble

Staying up late tonight trying to get the photos of my grandson preserved.  He'll be two in January and I still have not finished his first year scrapbook.

To create this layout I used Harvest Gathering Stack by DCWV and Cricut Create a Critter

Spook Alley

I wish I could scrapbook all day!  Here is a fun page I made today with a trendy bunting that is oh so cute.

Halloween Scrapbook Page

I couldn't wait to print and scrap my adorable grandson in his Halloween costume.

To create the page first I used a printed scrapbook page from the Recollections Boo Who paper pack.

Then with my Cricut machine I made lettering with coordinating paper

and stuck them down with the Xyron sticker maker.

I used my favorite cutting tool from Creative Memories to cut the photo and photo mat in an oval shape

Finally I added a little journaling so I won't forget my grandson's little friend's name and was done!



Happy Scrapping!

Christmas Banners

Banners are so popular this year!  And with all my scrapbooking supplies I knew I could duplicate all adorable ones I saw on Pinterest!  So here are the two I made.  The "Santa" one is done with 400pt font called Rosewood STD Regular.  I printed the letters red on cream cardstock and mounted them on red cardstock. Then I used my lace border punch to add a decorative touch and strung them on a red satin ribbon.  The "Believe" was printed with 300pt Rosewood on light tan cardstock and cut to look like flags.  I used simple twine to string them together.  You should try it.  It makes the house so festive!

National Scrapbook Day

I left the house bright and early and Kim had the room all ready for us.  She made it so festive with balloons and table displays of all the different products CreativeMemories has to offer.  I brag on the company all the time.  I wouldn’t use anyone else’s albums. 

At check in we were told we would find a scavenger hunt game and extra goodies at our assigned table.  As we worked all throughout the day Kim called out names for door prizes and at the end of the day she drew for the grand prize, a new album cover.

 My scrappin' buddy Dawn and I had a Great time today!

Great Food!

Great make and take!

 

Great albums! 

 Can’t wait for next year!

Getting Ready for National Scrapbook Day!

Besides all the other things I do I also scrapbook.  I’ve been scrapbooking for almost 20 years now and have tons of albums completed,

some partially completed

and some waiting to be started.

That is why I love National Scrapbook Day! It gives me a chance to catch up a little on preserving those precious memories.

So to get ready for the day I needed to collect everything I would need, only my craft room was taken over with quilt projects so it was time to straighten up first!

With a clean room I could now get everything together

Pictures and memorabilia from this past year

Paper, stickers, markers
Cutting tools
Adhesives
New album

I'm so excited!  Tomorrow is going to be so much fun!  Stay tuned for pictures of not only my pages I get done but also all the fun we have throughout the day!  Happy Scrappin!
