Easy Scrapbooking.

I have done a few challenges this week, I just haven't had time/daylight hours to take pictures of the finished projects. I will try to post some new good stuff tomorrow. Tonight I had a workshop at my house and it was awesome, except for when my cat lit his tail on fire on a candle and the whole house smelled like singed hair...hehe....I made chocolate covered strawberries to match the card and had Hershey's kisses for the kissing technique! I made a yummy dip and we had a fun night making crafty stuff!!

Here are some really cool scrapbook page inserts that Close to My Heart carries to fit inside their standard albums. There are a couple of different varieties including 4 pocket and 6 pocket pages. This is the 6 pocket holders. I put our Christmas candy-making pictures in a single sleeve and made a little journaling card for one of the pockets. The front is the title card and the back 'recipe' is for the journaling. (There are also pictures on the reverse side of this sleeve, I didn't take a picture.) This annual event is scrapbooked! Done and done!

Color Inspiration Challenge #33

EEEK!!! I am so excited for this week's color inspiration challenge. On Monday I received a package in the mail with a Cosmo Cricket paper pack and I was just dying to use it! These colors are really close....I know they aren't exact matches, but you have to admit that the paper is so cute!! The die cuts are CTMH, basically I just placed the large scallop square on the white card stock at an angle and then I placed the papers on in a sort of over-lapping collage. Then I did some faux stiching with a brown pen. After that, I just basically placed my pictures on and popped a couple of cut-outs and die cuts with foam squares. I did ink the edges of the cardstock and the title letters so they wouldn't be so stark white. I had a really hard time picking out the perfect pictures for this page. I will probably be making several pages using similar pictures and papers. The pictures are from a week this summer when my little brother Gage visited me. I entrusted him with my digital camera and he went around taking pictures and having a friend take pictures of him...a sort of covert photo shoot....a really fun way to see a boys world...from his eyes I guess.
