Clowning around and the Hunchback

 The elephant came from a pack of baby embellishments.


I used the bell from a Christmas die and the rope from a nautical set to create the embellishment.

Beach layouts

Layouts for separate albums. Similar but different based on the photos I had for each.

Fall cards and layouts

 Playing catch up with posting some past cards and layouts I took photos of but didn't upload here.

 

I cut the top design from a sheet of paper and used a different background. 




Halloween themed birthday card!

Halloween costume I made for my daughter one year.

Scrap tote

 These are very old and terrible photos but I'm going to post them anyway. This is a tote I made for myself back when the Cropper Hopper totes came out and it seemed like everyone had one but they were $$$. I would see the ads in the magazines and people would post about them. So I came up with one using a cardboard box as a sturdy insert and some fabric. There's one more outside pocket on the back side not pictured. I had way less supplies back then!

I still have the scissors and the tote. LOL A new box inside and I store page kits I've made  in ziploc bags in the tote.


 

 

Side note: This was my daughter's room and I painted the striped walls by hand. Painted a border and used foam stamps and craft paint.
 

 

 


Christmas layouts

 Getting around to posting some older layouts I took photos of but never uploaded to the blog. 



I scrap separate albums for my kids so sometimes I have identical layouts and sometimes there's a variation depending on the photos I have.

Diagram for box card

 I came up with this diagram back in early 2017. I made a cut file but this can easily be done without a machine. It's just a matter of scoring and cutting in the right spots. For the inside pieces you attach your embellishments to, just cut a strip 1" wide and 4.25" long. Score ends 1/2" from edge (the long middle section should be 3.25" - same width as the long side of the box).
Here's an example of a box card.
