File Folder Mini Book

Hi everybody, I hope you are having a wonderful weekend!!
Last night I got to hang out with my scrapping group and we made a fun project with a file folder. I'm sure you have seen these before, but I wanted to share it with you. They are super easy and fast to make and  the possibilities are endless.  It's always fun getting together with a group of women to create. Fun conversations, great food, and lots of inspiration.

Here is a link to a tutorial on how to make these cute tag mini books.

Thanks for stopping by!

Another Challenge! OCCSC13

Hi everybody!! I hope you are all having a great day. The weekend is in sight and boy am I looking forward to it.

Here is my submission for OCCSC13. I have been doing so much "cute" recently, I decided to change it up a bit. Hope you like it!!

I love these papers by Basic Grey and the oval cut from the Wild Card cartridge. I inked it up with Vintage Photo Distress Ink and then did several layers of UTEE on it.  It's super glossy in person!!

As always, thanks for stopping by my little piece of the world!

Toilet Paper Roll Mini Album turned.....

GIFT CARD HOLDER!! Yep, my scrapping MeetUp group got together on Saturday to make toilet paper roll mini albums. As I was sitting there decorating mine, trying to figure out what pictures I would put in this thing......it hits me! The light bulb went off, the bells began to ring, singing was heard.....okay, maybe that is exaggerating..but an idea did come to me. These little cuties would hold a gift card perfectly. So, I took my grocery store club card out of my purse to try it out. Whadda ya know...it did fit perfectly. So my mini album is a mini album no longer. These creations will be used for graduation cards and gifts all rolled into one. (Get it...toilet paper roll...rolled into one..??..anyone? okay maybe only funny to me)

I hope you like them as much as I do! 

Hope you are having a great day!

Easter Projects with the Cricut

Here are a few projects that I made with my Cricut today. We don't do large Easter baskets for the kids anymore. For one, I really try to limit the amount of candy that they consume. And two, all they really want anymore is money :)

I used the Tags, Bags, Boxes & More cartridge for both projects. I really tried to use more boy colors for Eric, so I focused on the blue and orange for his little Easter box. The bunny on the front was cut from the Easter cartridge and I just added an orange bow. The paper used on this is from Basic Grey, the Lemonade collection.









The little purse I made for Carson is really cute. I just added a little flower that I made on the front and a bow. The paper used on this one is from Me & My Big Ideas, the Chester collection.

I also had fun playing with my new camera! We just bought the Canon Rebel T1i. I'm still trying to figure out everything it can do, I'm probably gonna have to take a class!

I hope you are having a great day!
