PROM 2008

These are my last 2 layouts of Ben and his prom date Melissa. Ben and Melissa have been friends, girl next door, since they were both 7. They go to different high schools but share many common interests. It has been a pleasure and absolute fun to watch these two wonderful children grow into fine young adults. Their whole future is open and I know they are ready for it to happen.

COOL DUDES

A simple little layout of grandson on prom night. He and all the other guys lined up in front of the limo to have their picture taken. Quite a group. You can tell some of them really have a great sense of humor. Look at the outfits. From very traditional to absolutely flamboyant. Everyone had a great time and everyone was safe.

Ben is going into his senior year this coming year. WOW, where did those years go? I am sure it will be a great year for him. He is an honor 4.0 student and also plays sports. He is the center on the football team, plays basketball and soccer. A very busy guy, oh yeah, and has a sweet girlfriend. We are all so proud of him.

Thanks for listening to my ramblings today. Just had to get it out! Its a grandma thing. Try something new today and happy scrappin'.

ACRYLIC SCRAPBOOK - CHRISTMAS STOCKING

THE ABOVE CHRISTMAS STOCKING HAS BEEN COPYRIGHTED

BY SANDRA WILSON

It is finally done. This is the third acrylic Christmas scrapbook that I have made this year. Kind of Christmas in JULY! I made them early so if anyone should want to order them, I will have plenty of time to make and ship them.

The acrylic stocking comes bare with only the protective film on it. I then painted, inked and glittered mine. Actually this stocking was very fun and easy to decorate. Just remember you can see almost all of the layers so your layouts should reflect that. I will be posting this and the snowman on my "order acrylics now" page. You can access that by just clicking on it to the right of this posting.

I hope you enjoy my acrylics as much as I do. They are fun to make and design. Take your time to look at them. I have even more acrylic books in the early archives of this blog. Just click on them and they will come up.

Have a great day and if there is any way you need me to help you with a project, just ask. I will be glad to advise anyway I can.
Remember try something new today, and happy scrappin'.

THINKING OF YOU

Just a simple little card, but it can mean so much. If someone is on your heart and mind it helps to say so. The above card was made with that in mind. The pages have been inked and a beautiful satin ribbon was added. 3 scalloped hearts were punched out and placed in the middle of the page. I then joined them together so I could stamp this pretty hat on it. The hat has been shaded with pens and chalk. A very nice effect. The inside of the card is open for the sender to write a personal sentiment.

Just a little card, with a lot to say. Take your time to look at it and let me know what you think. Thanks and have a great day. Remember to try something new today and happy scrappin'.

FRIENDS

Sarah and Ellie! What more can I say. You see one, you see the other. They are very close friends and do not like to be separated. My granddaughter is Sarah and one of my scrapping buddies is Ellie's mom. We all hang out together often and the girls are together almost every day. I am sure they will be very close, like sisters, all of their lives.

The silver tag is a new magnetic tag put out by Petaloo. The scrapbook store that I design for sent me a pair of them. One large and one medium. This is the medium size. Each is covered with silver metallic paper, and when they shut, there is a magnet inside that holds the cover shut. I then decorated the tag.

On the cover I stamped the flowers and the saying. Then I used a few Heidi Grace rubons for effect and added the glittery flower and green leaf. On the inside I included their names, date, and a few more rubons. The main page has the picture of the girls that I cut to size and separated them. You can still get the idea when you see them look at each other. Real cute!

Thanks for looking and try something new today. Happy scrappin'.

SNOWMAN

"NEW" Acrylic Album

The above snowman album was designed, cut and decorated by me.

This snowman design has been copyrighted.

This book was a lot of fun to make. I had the idea for the design, cut it out and decorated it in a snow motif. It is fun doing snow and Christmas albums in the summer. Kind of keeps you cool!

The album consists of 3 regular 8x8 pages and the last page has the cut out of the snowman. I then painted him and used sparkly glitter and Stickles to decorate. His bow tie is a snowman ribbon that I had. Real cute.

I thought I would share this design with you. I have them for sale on my Tea 4 Two Acrylics. The snowman album is about to be added, so look for it soon and if you want to order 1 or more, just email me and I will gladly give you the specifics.

Have a great day and try something new today. Happy scrappin'.

SUMMERTIME FLIP FLOPS

Cute, cute and still cute. Every young girl or tween would love to have a book like this. It is all pinks, greens and summertime. I had so much fun making this book. I simply followed the outline of the paper flip flops and added the white paper bags. There is lots of special tags, photo mats and places to journal all those important times. It is kind of like a flip flop diary.

Take your time to look at the book and if you have any comments or questions, feel free to leave me a comment. Also, if there is a particular type of book you want to see, just let me know. I may have already done one and I will post it.

Thanks for checking in and have a great day. Try something new today and happy scrappin'.
