In desperate need

... of more photos...lol... how is it I have boxes full and still feel I need more :) Today I drew for and contacted the person who will receive the coffee filter album. This morning I managed to put together another layout and start my tutorial for next week on Tuesday at theeverydayscrapper.com so I am very excited.

yay for today

well here's a lo I did of my marathon...woohooo...AMAZING!! And for other great news I got today, I will contribute to theeverydayscrapper.com every week! I will be adding a tutorial each week how great! swing over and check her site out... it's awesome. plus, there is an awesome give away going on over there :)

Okay today is a wonderful Wednesday! I finished a few more layouts yesterday for challenges, but I also finished a cute coffee filter book. So I will let you know how I made it and if you want it simply become a follower and make a comment on this page :) yay.

here's the finished front for you to see :)



MATERIALS:
coffee filters
inks
papers
embellies of your choice

here are the type of coffee filters needed

you can ink them or paint them whatever you prefer. On this one I used inks, both ink pads and walnut and ranger sprays! If you use the sprays and are in a hurry, you can pop these wet filters in the microwave to speed up the drying process!





After you have the filters dry and inked then you can bind them. On this one I used a simple stapler technique, but I have used rings, ribbon, and thread before as well... They all turn out cute!



For my paper, I like to get rid of some of the wonderful scraps I keep on hand! You don't have to but it is a great way to use up the rest of really cute paper! I choose to cut my paper or rip it in numerous ways depending on the look I want!

As for embellishments, you can use whatever your heart desires! Also, don't forget you can put tags inside the filters and use them as pockets!

Wow what a weekend

well after completing my marathon on Friday I could barely walk.... yikes I was sore... today I'm feeling more like myself, but WOW WOW WOW! 26.2 done before I'm 26 woohoo my goal! So now I have some awesome pics I need to get uploaded to walmart so I can scrap them :) while I've tried to recover I've been doing scrap therapy on scrapbookdreamers message board... super fun... so here are some layouts I made for their challenges

PLAY

The boys at play... I have been wanting to scrap these pics and I think it turned out so cute. I used a lot of acrylic paint and stitching on this.... and I love love love this glitz paper.

On another note, I probably won't update the blog tomorrow because of the marathon, but we'll see what happens... if not, see you saturday

working on a layout...

I had hoped to upload a new layout of the boys today but it's been progressing slower then I'd like with everything else going on :) It is turning out cute though... I'm doing a lot of stitching which is fun but time consuming! Also, tonight I will be packing my bags to go to SLC for my marathon on friday so woohoo for that... I can't wait to see that finish line :)well that's all for today, but I am hoping to get another layout up soon

Just got my slide up woohoo... it turned out nice! Super excited about that

my new lamp... haha see what happens when I tapper for a marathon and clean out my scrap room? I go crazy scrapping :) then of course a cute lo of Logan. the pics are of him and my Sariah and I've needed to scrap them forever

last run before marathon time

yay it's my last run before my marathon! I can't believe it! I'm excited and nervous and so so so ready

A cute album for Grandma Nori

I made this of my boys for Nori... Hope to give it to her this weekend ;)

new LOs

Inspired by my clean room I threw time into some new los. I finally scrapped our trip to the inauguration and just love the way my page tuned out. Then I did a lo of Woo's 1st bday party... not a happy camper. And, I also finished a 9 year book for James and me! I stared that album a long time ago, but hadn't finished, so yay me!

Cleaned and reorganized my scrap room

it's so nice again. I love that 'new' feeling. I'm all scrap happy!
