Capri Sun Scrapbook

As you know i have the love for crafting, whenever and wherever I can, and as I sit around this early morning, I'm looking at my box of capri sun pouches that I have collected over the last 2 ears.lol yes I have that many. I have made many coin holders and bookmarks with these pouches and as I'm looking at them and trying to figure out what else can be used for the things. it hits me and I go nuts, I get my paper,gluestick,tape,scissors crop a dile, and go to town creating a cute memory scrapbook that will definately be the talk of your friends. I did some research and couldn't find anything so I went with this on my own idea and this is what it looks like, I will be embellishing it more and will post the finished product. but for now here it is with 5 pages and 4 small pockets with tags, as you can see them sticking out on the side. you can use the 5 pages front and back if you have more photos to put inside.  I cut my papers to fit the cardstock that I cut down to match the size of the drink pouch and added them into the drink pouch. you will need 2 of the same or different pouches if you like, use your crop a dile to hole punch the ends. I put all my paper inside and punched it all together. add the brads, added the ribbon, will be adding more later, and decorated the small pouches and added some cute tags. I will be embellishig it more, and post it as it comes to it's complete look, but for now to show you all what it looks like, Here is a pic of it and I hope you save those drink pouches and share your pics with me on what yours looks like. Enjoy!!!!

Recipe Keeper

I love to work with paper, and if there's a pretty paper pattern out there and I see it, I go ahead and get it, you can never have to many paper, especially if it's a beautiful flower, flying bird, or even a tall light house, I have to have it in my stash. so of course as usual, I go through my papers and see this nice , this is actual wrapping paper that I had left on a roll, and along with some cute purple shell ribbon edging, I had to add it to this book I'm working on, and it was finished last night. I love to make junk journals as well as make small altered books as well, for my daughter, so this is what it is and how it came out. hope you enjoy and if you have any questions please let me know.

Down below are some junk journals I made, a good size for me and the mini one for my daugher. these are just the composition books covered in scrapbook paper, the small one is a small composition book. you can find these at wal-mart or the 99cent store. which is where this one come from.

MJ ATC

I join alot of swaps and swap groups, trading creating gifts that are exchanged with one person and you recieve something in return. it's a fun way to make new friends and see all the creative people out there I have been doing these for many years now, my daughter even has done some. she loves to be creative. she too makes ATC's to swap.  I have 3 boys who love to draw and draw very well. so being a MJ fan I had one of my boys draw this for me, he drew it small enough for me to put it on an ATC card. and this is what it looks like, I added the blue trimming around it with some blue stamp ink just using my finger to lightly overtouching the edge and then used gold metalic paint pen to make dots in the corner sections and slide my finger outwards to create the look of lights. and this is how it turned out. This is 1 of 2, the other one was given to a friend whom is close to the Jackson Family. She loved it!!!

Please Do not copy,repost,or link to this. these were made specially for myself and for the my sons teacher who is friend of the Jackson family.Thank You.

Thursday Scrapbook Crafting

Well here is another Thursday, except this thursday it's the kids last day of school!!! they are excited of corse.lol andme? well trying to figure outwhat to plan to keep them busy before they drive me up the wall. lol but to calm mymind and give me somepeace, as usual I sit down and creat another scrapbook,  just one of my paperbag scrapbooks that is, but thistime I got it done and took a picture of it and wanted to share before I sent it off for a swap I'm doing. 
     So this paperbag swap  is made from 3 bags(brown) you can get them in any color, which makes it more fun to be creative, maybe a red,white andblue for 4th of july, orange and blk for  halloween. so many idea's to go with, but this is a simple easy brown paper bag. 3 bags put together, each bag is the opposite of eachother, because of the openings.  this is where you will put your extra goodies, like stickers, tags and more if you like. I used my crop a dile to punch the folded ends of the bag to run my ribbon and some neat funky yarn to make it decorative and cute. each page I used plain cardstock and decorated with stickers, flowers and cute ribbon to embellish it even further.   any paper will do and these are so fast to do and cute.  I enjoyed making this and hope you enjoy it too!

Daily Crafting Fun

Another monday comes by and as I sit and go through my cleaning time. I need some tin foil to wrap up some food and putaway in the fridge. as usual I'm looking at my crafting stuff and see my glue gun, a bag f small white daisies and a few pieces of scrap material that can be cut into small pieces. and as I'm cleaning and outting things away I decide to stop for a few minutes and do some crafting, you always can take a break when your cleaning up the kitchen.lol so of course I get on it and start creating this cute letter from my tin foil(wrapped to create the letter L),the scrap pice of fabric( wrapped around the tin foil letter) and the white daisies and of course put it together with my glue gun. and this is what I have now for a cute letter wall hanging.  there's always something you have around your house to create a little craft item with. stop look and think, this is where I get my creative thinking.lol kids think I'm crazy, but if it keeps a few things out of the trash and is usuable, then why not.  Hope you Enjoy.
