2008 Review

I saw this in Scrapbook etc. magazine and thought this would be so neat. Trying to capture the highlights of the year was harder than I thought. I used Bazzill cardstock and OA weathervane journaling boxes , buttons , felt ribbon and felt flowers. This was a fun project!! The supplies I used can be found at WWW.ACBaileyDesigns.com . My next post is going to be my top 10 favorite layouts of 2008, so stay tuned!! Have a great day!

tree sketch

I came across this so very "cool" sketch for all those Christmas pictures we took yesterday. I was so eager to share it with all you scrapbookers. I found this at http://www.pencillines.com/. Go take a look! Hope this get you inspired.. it did me.

Daisy D's/Christmas 02

This is last years Daisy D's Christmas paper. Just had one sheet so I put it to good use. This is my 12th "vintage" Christmas Layout. I have them all hanging in my Memories Room - for all to see and laugh at hair do's and up and down weight issues hee,hee. Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and or Hanukkah!!! See ya soon with more crafties!

more vintage Christmas

Just doing my part to keep you gals inspired! I did these early this morning (1:30 am) Yep late night. I love working with my old photos-brings me back to that time and place. I used Festive by MME and some scrappy Chrismas embellishments . I love ribbons and buttons and I was sure to use both. Ha, ha. Have a great Holiday and find time to be scrappy - after all its a holiday!!

Fruit Cake Yum!

Don't these look yummy! I just had to show the fruits of my labors yesterday. With a cup of coffee and a slice of fruit cake - It doesn't get any better than that ( well at least for me). A good friend in Anna, Illinois shared his famous recipe with me. I had to beat it out of him. I'll give you a hint, it has a wee bit of apricot brandy in it-but just a bit. Hee, hee!! Hope you have a great week and go bake something and then eat it!! It will make you feel better. Promise.....

more crafties

These are calendar book marks. You can go to www.timeanddate.com to get your calendars for the book marks. All I did was mat the calendars and add some ribbon.

I used jiffy pop corn(stove type) and covered the tops with a little paper, stamped a holiday greeting, ribbon and snowmen!!! Quick gift!

The metal clips can be purchased at an office supply store. Just cover the bottom and dust off those punches and add a shape, add a little sparkle and you have a photo holder, recipe holder or place setting holder.

This is a beverage card that can be made very easily and attched to any beverage as a gift card. As you can see, I have been crafting this week. I love to craft and make something out of nothing. One of my favorite things to do. Most of these projects were made from left over paper kits and scraps. I hope you will get your scrap papers out and create. Have a great week!!!

Weekend Projects

My weekend projects are complete!! Yeah, I'm so happy. The top photo is so sweet. I did this layout for a challenge on AC Bailey. The second one is just precious - meeting the princess. All little girls dream of being the princess. Some day she will be. Trying to finish up on my Holiday shopping - almost there. Just a few items to buy. Hope these LO's have inspired you to do one more before Christmas. Have a great week!
