My Rachel, My Muse

So, the K4 page inspired me to make the sign for my daughter's door that she has been asking for. She loves it....she helped with the doodles. I think I just found my newest product line for my shop on etsy. Yay. I It is made from a piece of scrap 1" x 4" that my husband was tossing out. Lock up the workshop, honey, because here I come!!

Scrap Idol Week 7

So I am moving forward in Scrap Idol again....It is down to the final three. This week's challenge is to use only the following: solid card stock, brads, eyelets and ribbon. Here is what I came up with. Check out the other entries at the scrapbooksupplystore.ning.com

Just can't wait

I haven't heard about the results for my contest yet. I have been working like a dog on these recycled books. This is my favorite, so far.

I also really like the Hershy Bar Book...chocolate and scrapbooking go together like peanutbutter and jelly. My husband knows when I am going to have a crop or just do some serious scrapbook time, because I head to my room with a bag of miniature reese cups....mmmmmm.

Productivity Galore

I have had quite the weekend. I backed up all my photos...yes ALL of my photos...that took most of the day today. I created my synergy layout for Scrap Idol. I cleaned my entire craft area. Took photos of all item I have made but never got a round to posting on my website AND I posted about 40 new items on my etsy website. I am exhausted. I tied all my coasters with ribbon, too.

Scrap Idol 6

Yea - I made it another week. This week's challenge is to create a layout use only one product line. Our choices were Cosmo Cricket, Basic Grey, or My Mind's Eye. I chose Cosmo Cricket. Here is the result.

Okay - so my layout this week may not make sense to anyone not an engineer...The title - synergy...is a term my husband used to refer to what our relationship lacked during a rough patch in college. Yes, he was an engineer major. The term kind of stuck throughout the years as we have created this life of happy chaos together. I mostly used the Hello Sunshine line from Cosmo Cricket. I rarely make a page without ribbon and Hello Sunshine did not come with ribbon, so that is Jack's World. The message board, chipboard flowers and frame are Bare Naked by Cosmo. I used my cricket to sut out the title with the exception of the S...that was a part of the die cut sheet of alphabet. So here it is...week six.

Scrap Idol Week 5

The contest continues. Scrap Idol at the Scrapbook Supply Store in Greer, SC is in week 5 of its competition. I am really enjoying it. This week the requirements were to use at least 4 photos, 3 embellishments, and a summer theme. It had to be a 12x12 layout...1 or 2 page spread. This is my entry for week 5. We will find out in the next day or so who is eliminiated. Wish me luck.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

So now I am in to these notebooks. I am constantly scouring the trash at not only my house, but in others' homes. I have a problem. I am making note books out of recycled food boxes. They are absolutely perfect. I wish I could take credit for the idea, but I found them on etsy. I can not remember the store, but I thank you, whomever you are. My kids absolutely love them. They have been reading this series of books called "The Diary of a Whimpey Kid". They are going to town writing and drawing in their own diaries made from their favorite snacks. Fun.

Scrap Idol Entry 4

I am not too thrilled with this page for this week's entry to the Scrap Idol Contest. It was uninspired. I very well may get the axe this round. Grandma and Grandpa look great, though. Don't they?
