Thankful

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I certainly have a lot to be thankful for this year, so I made some Thankful Books for Evan's grandparents and auntie. We are so grateful for them. Here are some pictures of the book.

Here is the cover. I used DCWV chipboard for the cover and my Bind it All to bind it together. I used clear acetate to cover and protect the picture and attached it with some brads using the Cropodile.

I filled the book with pictures of things Evan and I are thankful for this year. Isn't Snoopy cute with her cousin Payton?

Boo to You!

I made some Halloween cards with a few of the Fall Supplement stamps. I used T-3042 Halloween Greetings for the circle images, and T-3009 Glitter Goblins for the saying inside and the Boo to You on the front corner. The circles were easy to punch with the Extra Jumbo clever lever. I am slowly becoming a punch person. And, finally, the ribbon is what inspired the whole card. I bought some new ribbon containers from Archivers for my work area, and while I was filling them I found these orange and black ribbons. I figured, either use them now or wait a whole year... So, boo to you!

Creative Friends and Family!

I am sharing some of the creative presents my friends and family gave us for our baby!

This is a diaper cake my cousin Lauren made for us. Somehow she managed to squeeze 3 layers of diapers, receiving blankets, a bunch of adorable onesies, some bath products, and baby toys all into one adorable cake! I took pictures of both sides to show you.

This is a diaper wreath that my friend Meri made. Isn't it too cute? I love the decorations she put on the wreath. The color combination of all the ribbons is so cheerful! I guess Meri is a stamper/ wreath maker now!

This diaper cake was made by my mom's friend Kathy. Isn't the topper cute? What a perfect stuffed animal for Snoopy and baby! She used ribbon and little boy embellishments to decorate it. What a cute cake!

I am so glad I have such creative people in my life!

Dr. Seuss Clock

I made a Dr. Seuss clock! I bought the blank clock from Archivers a few years ago, and it was tucked away in a cabinet until now. I found it again while reorganizing some things, and decided to put it to use.

I didn't go to the Expo in St. Charles this year. Did you? Leave me a comment and let me know what you thought about the show.

California Scrapbook!

I FINALLY (after a year) made my California scrapbook. This album is a monster of a book. I think I printed 300 pictures to make it, but I didn't use them all. :) I bought the album last year at the St. Charles Expo. Isn't is cute?

I hadn't worked with 12x12 pages in a long time, so I was so pleased with the TAC supplies I used. It made the process so much easier because everything coordinated with each other. I used our Hemingway, Amberley Grace, and Willoughby paper collections and cardstock for almost all the pages. I used the Hemingway and Amberley Grace ribbon, and the Antique Copper hardware. I only used 3 ink pads in the entire album: Prussian Blue, Burnt Umber, and Cognac Palettes. As for stamp sets, I used our WONDERFUL Flourish Bet, Distressed Typewriter Bet, and Curls and Swirls. I hope you enjoy looking at it!

I could show you the rest of the pages, but that would be crazy! Like I said, the album weighs 50 pounds (or it seems like that...). That equals a lot of pages. A little taste of California will have to do.
