Monthly Tag Club

 I joined a monthly tag and rolodex club kit and I'm having a blast with this simple kit.  The directions are amazing and easily they can be put together.  Something I enjoy these days - simplicity when it comes to scrapbooking.  There is so much going on in the world that I need simplicity and something easy and not complicated and doesn't take a few days to figure out the layout or what mixed media I want to incorporate into the projects.  Here is some of the previous kits.  

Postcards from Disney

So I don’t know about you but I’ve been to Disney in Florida and in California growing up and I loved their cartoons and movies and the history of the business. I’ve lost touch with it until my nieces arrived and started to get back into it with what they love and as they grew as did Disney I grew as well.  I’ve collected items over the years from my numerous trips but when I saw they had a box of the classic post cards I had to buy it and I’m going to make a mini book with them a flip book. It was the Disney characters I grew up loving and the storylines.

Sir Vagabond in Japan

Here is a two page layout using the Stamperia Sir Vagabond in Japan.  I just love this collection.  I've been wanting this type of collection for years.I used Stamperia Warm Red acrylic paint and watered it down and then put it all over.  I then kept spritzing the pages to get it even lighter and also a worn and aged look. I used the stencil from the collection as well and inked the cherry trees and lantern.  I used the chipboard Geisha and a paper cut from the paper pack to add a look of the scrolls.  I inked the edges of the page with a stamp from the collection and then took a spatular with the last of the red paint and put it all over the edges of the travelers notebookk.

My Weekly Planner booklet...

For the year 2021 I was using the Birds of a Feather weekly planner by Geninne D Zlatkis and I just ordered my 2022 weekly planner by Kelly Rae Robert’s !! I just love these little planners they fit perfectly in my handbag!

Mini Albums

 I have a new addiction and it’s miniature scrapbooks and they are so easy to make as long as you have the tools!! I used the We R Memories envelope maker for the mini envelopes. I used the We R Memory Keepers 5x7 mini scoreboard to measure the 6x6 paper down to 5x5 to make the 2x3 mini envelopes. I suggest using doubled sided paper so there is some fun on the inside of the envelopes. I only used one sided paper from my stash to destash!! I had as a test run and I still loved the end results!!

Travelers Journal - mixed media

I made my own mixed media travelers journal using bits and pieces of scrap paper and do digital stamp fussy cuts.

Knome hanging decorations

 This is a fun craft to do with your kids or even adults.  I took a cardboard wrapping paper roll after I used all the wrapping paper and cut it into inch size pieces.  I purchased off white / creme yarn at Michaels for 3.99 and used a coupon and paid half price.  I cut 100 pieces into 10 inches.  Each cardboard piece needs 10 pieces of yarn.  You have to fold the yarn in half and put the loop on the inside of the cardboard and wrap it around the cardboard.  Once you have all 10 pieces wrapped around take a piece of yarn and pull the 'crazy hair' together and tie a knot around it.  Next you will need to cut the yarn hair and make a nice hair cut so that the yarn is all even.  Next you need a hot glue gun and a puffy nose and glue it on the cardboard rim.  Inside the hat you need to stuff a few cotton balls in so it puffs up to look like a head. Once you have a few of these done you can use a longer piece of yarn and string it through the hat part of the Knome and hang them up around your house!  Enjoy!

A beach theme holiday gift for my bestie this year!

 This entire gift cost me less than 25.00.  I purchased the hanging board from Hobby Lobby for 10.00 - the most expensive item in this gift!  I went to the dollar store and purchased one bag of sea stone and I only needed 1 bag and had extra left over, along with the blue mini clothes pins. The burlap lace was purchased in Michael's at 50% off and paid $3.50 for a roll, the electric lights were also on clearance and I paid $1.99 for each one.  I used hot glue and burned my fingers a few times when putting the stones in place but this took about 1 hour to put together.  This is for her beach house, she wants to hang the yearly beach tags as a memory for each year they are in the new house.  Such a great memory over the years.

Miniature gifts

So every year we always do at least one prank gift fr my nieces and this year is a doosie!! I found miniature Amazon box, USPS box, a pizza box and small gift box printables.  I printed hm and the. Cut them all out by hand instead of using a machine - that was mistake number one! I couldn’t find my bone folder so help with folding on the lines so I used a butter knife and that worked great!
