Disney Swaps done

Okay, I belong to this totally awesome online group ScrappiestDisneySwapping. They are an awesome bunch of ladies. I have learned a lot about scrapping from this group. I used to just use stickers or diecuts to create a title, now I design my title to match the pictures. Before joining this group I had never heard of journal boxes, deco squares, paper piecing, side mounts, bazzill paper and many other things. Now I am branching out to learn how to do many other things. The pictures I posted are from an ABC swap. Can't wait to get them back (and of course head to Disney so that I can add new pictures to this album). I also posted two titles that I am submitting for a couple of swaps. If you are big into Disney and Swapping and would like info, let me know and I will send you the link to join.

Fold a paper bag book

Okay so I have been asked to share how I folded the paper bag book that I posted about in August.
Step 1: Start with 3 paper bags.

Step 2: Take 2 of the bags and line up the bases.

Step 3: Glue the bases together

Step 4: Fold the left hand side over at the base line


Step 5: Fold the Right hand side over next, so that it just overlaps the left side.

Step 6: This is the inside page. Take the left over bag and fold it at the base line.


Finally place this page inside the other two that were glued together. Either staple together or punch holes and use ribbon to tie together or be creative and share your idea with me.

All about You in 52

I am participating in Debby's Dares challenge All about you in 52. She will give one prompt a week and the idea is to journal about that topic and then create a layout. I am keeping up with the journaling, but just now started the layouts. I was having a hard time deciding how I wanted to do this project. Finally decided a smaller album that will concentrate on the words and be simple in design.
Week 1 topic was Who Influenced Your Life the Most. This was a fun topic to think about. There have been many people who have influenced my life in both positive and negative ways.
I am also including a few other things in this journal, so looking forward to completing the journal this year.

Journal Your Christmas

While I kept up with the daily journaling for Journal Your Christmas, I am finally get a chance to complete my pages. Today, I was able to finish my cover page and the first 6 days of pages. 7 done only 31 left to go. Feel free to jump over to my family blog Flathers Family to read the journaling.

July 4th

I had fun making this paperbag mini album for July 4th. It uses Rusty Pickle's Bottle Rocket line. I really love Rusty Pickle papers. Now all I have to do is get the July 4th pictures printed off.

Wanted

Last November many of the scrapbook stores conducted a CSI day. It was sponsered by three different companies and all of the make n takes were free. Anyway, I finally got around to finishing my layout from that day.

Okay, I just finished Shimelle's Journal Your Christmas, (okay finished the journaling still working on the pages) and fell in love with her online classes. She is offering a free class, she is posting the info online slowly. She is also giving away some of her products. Check her out here Shimelle
