Here is one of the pages from the Year in a Day class with photos...I have not finished it...so look back in a couple days to see it completed. This is my favorite page that we created...it could be changed into different colors to accomodate boys...it is just a great page!
Today Jen P and I held our Year in a Day Class. Everyone completed one full scrapbook with 18 pages. Here are some samples of the pages;
We gave out all of the supplies, all of the directions, all of the dimensions, and the class put all of the pages together...to then go home and put their own pictures on the pages...their own titles...and there you have it, a whole finished scrapbook! A YEAR of pages all finished in a day.
If you would like to purchase all of the paperwork to complete your own pages, you can purchase the supply list, dimensions, and directions for each page for $17.
This page layout was created for display at the Winter Crop. We had given the Celebration DSP as part of the Goodie Bag and we always try to display ways to use some of the stuff. On this page I used the paper, some of the matching accents, I used the red glitter paper, glitter brads, and the flowers were die cut from my sizzix. The paper showed the whole "eventful" slippin' slide day we had.
When I looked back at the older photos, I got tears in my eyes...remembering these moments and knowing I can never get them back again.
I was always told that twins would play game with each other, against me. This photos tell that exact story. You can't really see it, but I put a "made-up" conversation between Abby and Julia, explaining every step of the activity. Abby gets past the blockade and looks at me and says..."haha mommy, I got up here even though you told us not to climb and play with the dvd player". "Julesy, reach. let's get the dvd out....I'll help you". "We got it". "Wait Julia, where are you going with that"?, and Julia responds "haha Abby, I didn't even need to climb to get the dvd out. thanks for the help"!
I already miss this moments...
Here is a card I made for my wonderful friend, Heidi, who has been sick for a long time...and will have long recovery. I miss you my friend.
I decided to punch different DSP squares and adhere them to a piece of 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 paper. I then ran the paper through the big shot, with the top note die...and I got this beautiful quilted top note. I sponged some ink...to make it look "vintage", tore some paper, and added a ribbon and a sentiment to it. I have a couple other quilted top notes and I am going to try a couple other looks...so stay tuned.
Since the catalog came out last summer, I was enthralled by the ribbon wreath on page 190. I wanted to make it, find out how to make it, and buy all the ribbon to make it. I kept putting it off and putting it off....looking at it every time I turned to the ribbon page. So, thanks to my secret pal, at the last crop weekend, Joanie, who bought me all the ribbon to make it. I spent the last couple days investigating how other people made it. Some used foam, some used wire...and since I didn't have anything but a wore hanger in the house, I tried it with a wire hanger, sping it into a wreath. Here is the final result. I believe I would like to make it a little smaller....so I will look in to getting a smaller wreath ring (made of wire), or try a smaller foam ring. This wreath is larger and took 15 pieces, cut into 6 inch strips, all the different ribbons...and tied onto the wire. It took me about an hour to do it all. And, I actually enjoyed the cutting and tying all the ribbon (oh yeah, that's right, I love making bows and using ribbon).
Hi everyone...well I am doing better this week, with posting! Here is another layout I created at our fabulous weekend!
We had an incredible weekend full of games and contests. I created a contest that required everyone participating to "decorate" the build a bear (I cut them out with the Big Shot) of a famous person. At the end of Sat. night, everyone had to hand in their bears and the whole group had to guess who the bear was...here are a couple. Can you guess who they are? (they are phenomenal)
