Scrappy Post

It has been a very long time since I have posted any scrapbooking layouts.  Honestly, I haven't been scrapping as much as I want to lately.  Time has certainly gotten away from me...it always does.  I finished both of these layouts after being inspired by the Cosmo Cricket blog.  Julie has been sharing sketches and encouraging readers to play along. 

This layout of Aubrey was made using the Cosmo Cricket Nutmeg Paper Crafting Kit.  I have had these pictures printed for a while now and never got around to getting them scrapped.  I love Aubrey's chubby arms and her confident steps.  The Nutmeg papers perfectly suited the pictures and I was extremely pleased with the finished layout. 

This layout makes me smile because I absolutely love the happiness on my babies faces!  While inspired by a Cosmo Cricket sketch I used October Afternoon papers and added some Kaisercraft pearls. 

These are the only layouts I have completed this year and I am very ashamed to admit it!  Things have been busy and I really need to upload and order some prints.  My little photo printer has been giving me some troubles lately so I need to start planning better before I place an order online.  It also doesn't help that my scraproom is a disaster!  I need to spend a day putting everything back in its place.  Now that James is home he can entertain the girls while I clean up. 

Thanks for looking!  I always appreciate folks stopping by my home in cyberspace!  Have a great weekend!

Back to Some Crafty Posts

I have been working on finishing up projects that I have put off for a while. Last year I downloaded a couple of Timeless Templates from the Papertrey Ink website. I knew these were templates I could use over and over but never sat down to complete one of the projects. So last week I pulled out my external hard drive and found the 2 templates I purchased and printed them out onto solid kraft cardstock. From there the options are endless and I love the versatility that comes with these templates which was a big reason I purchased them. I pulled out some October Afternoon patterned paper and set out to decorate my cute little boxes. I even used my Dymo Label Maker which makes me extremely happy. I love that thing!

I decided to make a small mail sorter. Sometimes I just don't have the time to sort through the mail when I get home so now I can put it in one place and go through it all when I have time. When I am cleaning out my purse I can also drop the receipts that need to be shred right into a box and take care of it when I have the time. This project did not take long at all and I love the results. It is a cute way to keep me organized and I need alot of help in that department.
