Vintage X-Mas Album at Scrapbook Island 11/13

I'll be teaching this vintage Christmas album at Scrapbook Island on Thursday, November 13th at 6:30pm. Come see me if you're in the area. It's a GREAT store and SO fully stocked. Laurie and her ladies are so wonderful!

Prima Build A Book

This was my first ever acrylic book. I used the Prima Build A Book. It was so fun to make, tricky because you have to be mindful of what is seen on the back of each "page" but I love the look of all the different shapes together. There is a pic of the cover and one of the interior.

Have a great weekend, if you're local and free tomorrow come by and see me at My Daughters Wish for the Spooktacular Scraptacular.

A New Album, Soldered Charms & Antique Finds

This is a picture of my newest album. It features all things Hambly. I realized I'm quite the collector but I haven't actually made much with it. I will be teaching this class on November 15th at MDW.

A Few Fun Things

Here's a few fun pics. The first two are of a Christmas album I'll be teaching. The third is a ginormous pair of scissors I found at Target and they really open. I love them! The last is a pretty crocheted light fixture I bought at the Shabby Chic store in SF. I finally had an electrician come out and hardwire it last night. It's bigger than it appears in the picture and really pretty. Sunday I'm off to a Sally Jean class in Portland, I can't wait!!

Travel Album Class

This is a picture of the travel album class I'll be teaching soon. "NY" won't be on the cover if you're taking the class, that will be blank for whatever you want to put there. The hub and I are going to NY in December sans kids and I'm SO looking forward to it!!! How cool am I? I have the album done before the trip?? All I need now are the pics.

I have to give a shout out to the ladies that took my class at Scrapbook Island last Saturday. What a great bunch of girls! It was alot of fun and it was my largest class to date. We actually only ran over by 15 minutes so you know they rocked it!

"Slipping Through My Fingers" Shadowbox

Originally I was going to teach this class titled, "Slipping Through My Fingers" but decided later to save these shadow boxes for something else. This project was inspired by a new collage sheet of dresses and the never ending pile of dresses Grace seems to outgrow everyday. Around the edges of the box I wrote a verse from one of my favorite Abba songs. Check out the teeny tiny books, they are so cute!!

10 Things I Love Most About Me Class

Here are a few sneak peeks of the class I'll be teaching at Scrapbook Island on September 13th. It's going to have a funky vintage vibe and the theme is "10 Things I Love Most About Me". I'm using vintage celluloid roses from 1940 and I tea stained some new lace to give it an aged look and feel. Come check it out if you're in the area!
