It’s been awhile

Hmmm…. let’s see… since my last post I have re-learned to knit, sewing diapers and outfits galore, and been doing lots of scrappy stuff – enjoy all the pictures!

Tutorials for the following projects are over at Back Porch Memories (under the newsletter tab) 

Busy creating

Of course I have a mile long To-Do list… but what do I spend 2 hours on tonight? This…

I found the tute here and changed it up a teeny bit.

In scrappy-ness, I finished a ‘Cup of Comfort’ album for Back Porch Memories.  Its made from a Maya road coffee cup album and has some cute recipes and such on it.  Not sure if this one is for the store or if it will be listed online :)

Tomorrow I’m going to try to work on some actual LAYOUTS!!! <GASP>
I haven’t scrapped a real picture since December (I don’t count the two recipe albums I did!)
And then I really need to start on my mile-long To-Do list!

So busy…

The countdown has begun for my hubby  to return home!  I am not getting much ‘me’ crafting in lately. I have some sewing and scrappy projects to finish for other people, and then I think I’m going to take a break and just focus on what I want to do.

Here is a little Accordion house home deco I did for Back Porch Memories – she has it for sale on her add-on page if you’re interested.


Here is a recipe album I did for my SIL for Christmas




For one of my sisters, I made her a rag-patch tote, much like this one that is for sale in my etsy shop.

Purses for the girls

Some dresses for a friend
And lots and lots of other Christmas presents that I forgot to take pictures of, of course!

Going to be making a Molly Monkey next (actually 3 of them!) and my sister wants a recipe album by the end of the month!
Then I have to work on 4 bridesmaid dresses for my other sister’s wedding – ugh – I have too many sisters!!! LOL!

Halloween and Christmas!

The owner of Back Porch Memories asked me to do a Halloween mini album kit for her store. I had a blast picking out all the goodies and playing for two whole days until I came up with this!  FYI – the kits are sold out, but you can enjoy the eye candy here.


Two little tags stuck in a pocket with a spider tag hanging from it

Left page folds out, middle page is a 4x4 acrylic page and right page has a little bling spider on the web


Kraft envy on the left holds three tags to put pictures on.  Right page is WRMK black lace on an 8x4 acrylic page.

Silly Faces page, unties and folds out to show two picture spots.  Pumpkin is corrugated.

 
Tombstones are tags that come out of the grass to journal on.  Moon has 3 hidden journal or picture spots that rotate out.


The last page, with a hanging tag that says ‘EEK’


I had a blast making it and couldn’t wait to share.  I have some other projects too that I’m getting ready for Christmas – here’s a mitten and snowflake garland made from two Maya Road chipboard books. Pardon the horrible pictures – welcome to winter in Alaska and no good light!

I have been creating!!!

I just can’t post any of it because its either been for the store in town or its for Christmas gifts. But trust me, I’ve been scrapping and sewing up a storm!  Here is a LO I did for a scraplift challenge last month that I can post now  :D
