Travel - Suitcase Shaped Mini Album Class


















Travel Book - Suitcase Shaped Book Class
On Saturday, July 24th, I held my travel book class at Scrapbook Village in KY.  We had a great group and so much fun.  The ladies really enjoyed making their vacation treasure and will finish each page on their own.  Hopefully at the time of retreat in November I will be able to see their finished product.
We took our time making the cover and the ladies did so well.  It is so satisfying to watch them and lead them through the process of creating and building their book for those precious memories.  Everyone has their own special and unique take on a page, book or other project they are making.  It is fun to see how they take and add their own personality and sense of design.
We had so much fun together, lots of laughs and lots of talk. 

Below I am going to be offering a class on "Christmas Cookies".  We will be making a jar book with our favorite recipes and using the Cookbookin' line of papers.  I must say right out, that Cookbookin' is my favorite line and I am always looking for ways to showcase the line.  Love it!!!







Thanks for checking in today and remember to try something new today.  
Happy Scrappin',

June - Yard Sale 2010

Remember 2 weeks ago I mentioned that I was in the process of getting ready for our annual yard sale.  Well here are a few photos of us getting ready.  Let me tell you, it was sooooooo hot!  98 to 100  degrees every day.  The weather was so oppressively hot and the humidity was just as bad.  But anyways, we got through it.  We are going to try to have our last one at the end of September.  I am sure the weather will be much better and more buyer friendly.



My 3 grandgirls folded all the clothes and arranged them for us.  


Dennis helped carry "stuff" for us and get it all arranged.  Thanks!




Ben, my hunky grandson and muscles helped get all you see arranged nicely and he worked until he got so tired he sat and helped.  Wow, the stuff he carried and threw out for us.


Part of the Barbie collection Kathi and I bought to sell on ebay.  We have sold many, many dolls and we have all this to go.  See the boxes on the left, there is more in there.


Thanks for checking in.  Just thought I would share with you what I have been doing.  We worked for 2 1/2 weeks straight to get ready for the sale.  Not many people came.  Next time it will be better.
Thanks,
Sandra

Mason Jar Book
Christmas Cookies
Pages 9 & 10 

Each page has pull out tags with mitts dangling from one and Christmas lights dangling from the other page.  Lots of room to journal, add photos and/or recipes.






A photo of all the extra pull outs for recipes and photos.


This is the back of the book opened.  You can give this book as a gift and write the name of the recipient on the back cover.
An absolutely sweet and very personal book.  It is so easy to add special touches and your favorite recipes.  Have fun making the book and let me know how you make out.  I do now sell these books (undecorated) on this website.  Check it out on the left hand side.
Thanks for checking in and happy scrappin'.

Mason Jar Book
Christmas Cookies
Pages 7 & 8

This set of pages is loaded with lots of spaces for recipes and photos.  Each page has a pull-out booklet that opens up revealing 3 more pages.  You can copy your specials onto lighter paper and crop them into the booklet.  That is such a cute way to share your holiday treats with others.

I really like creating the mini book.  It takes on its own personality and brings out your creative side.  Let it shine!  
Try something new today and happy scrappin'.

Mason  Jar  Book
Christmas Cookies
Pages 5 & 6


The 2 pages flow into each other.  You could start a recipe on page 5 and finish it on page 6.


The plump snowman baker is the "keeper" of the pages.  He is overseeing the sack of flour below him and offers a special place for a photo or recipe.


Your ticket to cookies, cakes and pies.  Many sweets and sugary treats will be baked and enjoyed by all.  
Fun pages right in the middle of the book.  A double page that can be used individually or together.  
Have fun and happy scrappin'.
