My finished project! Preserving the memories from Kiddie Kapers Parade July 2008. I used the Blue Ribbon paper pack and July Word Puzzle stamp set.

Christmas Card Workshop

These are the two basic designs that we'll be making at my upcoming Christmas card workshop. You will be able to choose your own paper packet and personalize with various Christmas stamps. This is only the example - each participant will make their own unique set of cards. Let me know if you're interested in attending.

Christmas Already?

I know it's been awhile since I posted but I've been a single mom lately five days a week so I really haven't had much time for my paper crafting habit lately. I did make these simple Christmas cards though while I was trying to get inspired for my Christmas card workshop I'm hoping to hold this month or next. I hope you'll be there!!

Lots of photos!

Here's an idea!
Use a page protector that holds six 4x6 photos.
Decorate a 4x6 piece of cardstock to journal about the other photos for a "scrapbooked" look. This is a great way to tuck away a lot of pictures all at once without the work of doing actual layouts.

Getting Organizzed!

I found this great entertainment center and knew it would be perfect for organizing my paper crafting materials. The best thing about it is that it was a "free find" from a neighbor... thanks neighbor!

Bridal Shower Gift

Here's an Idea!

Hand stamped recipe cards for the bride-to-be make an excellent shower gift! I did these cards earlier today using various stamp sets and tied ribbon around them with a small gift tag. Include recipe cards with a casserole dish or other kitchen tools related to your recipes for the bride-to-be.

It's a Girl

For those of you who haven't heard...
It's a GIRL!
Amanda joined our family June 8, 2008.
I am finally getting around to paper crafting again and this is a layout I just finished recently with her first set of ultrasound photos from November 2007.
