Yesterday was my son & daughter-in-law's 2nd wedding anniversary. We knew we wanted to give them a little something for their upcoming trip. But I wanted to add something else....enter Pinterest! Yup...yet another idea from Pinterest. Have I mentioned how much I love Pinterest!! :)
This is their wedding date drawn on with a fabric marker. I added the flower for some fun but I couldn't stop there...<br />

This is the back of the pillow. I decided to add a little pocket to tuck their gift in. I love how it all turned out! Much better than just a card with some money inside wouldn't you say?!! And it fits the bill for the second anniversary traditional gift of cotton!Tinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06598505285693421365noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512565183569765694.post-10100422548730878782012-04-04T08:41:00.002-07:002012-04-04T08:41:37.414-07:00The Perfect Way to Welcome Spring!Saturday I had eight ladies over for a "Spring Crafting Day". We had such a good time! The weather was great too. I gave the ladies two projects to choose from... covered books or a sign. For the ones that chose the sign I gave them the option of using Easter bunny type words or Christian words. Everyone chose the Christian words.<br />

When the boys were little the Leprechaun used to visit our house very early in the morning on St Patrick's Day and he would turn the milk green. In the process he left little green footprints in our refrigerator. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My boys just loved this! (Maybe not quite as much as I did.) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So this year with all of them out of the house this is what the "Leprechaun" did. Special deliveries all around!</div>

Now I have a better system & it looks a bit more cohesive & easier to follow. It reminds me of doing a two page layout where the pages just flow together. Plus there is a bit more room for all the fun "extras"! :)<br />

I have more finished but will save that for next time. So far it is a little difficult for me to find things to fill my pages. Not the "fluff" but the photos. I forget to take photos. I still like the process & will keep doing it. But I may tweak it a bit along the way...as you will see in my next post. ;) Thanks for stopping by.Tinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06598505285693421365noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512565183569765694.post-68545552752042736462012-02-19T08:07:00.000-08:002012-02-19T08:16:31.241-08:00Full House<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We ended up with a very full house! It was great! We packed everyone inside as the weather just wasn't cooperating. Worked out just fine! <br />

I used the same decorations that I had used at my older son's graduation. And I must say it was really nice of Hamilton & ASU to share the maroon colors...made party decorating over the years so much easier! (wink, wink) <br />

I tried some new recipes that I found on Pinterest...they were wonderful. A Pear & Walnut Salad, fruit kabobs & Asian Grilled Chicken. I even got some of my son's favorite Bean Dip & Salsa from Serranos. Yummy!! We also had grilled hamburgers, home-baked rolls, spinach & artichoke dip and more! There was plenty of food & lots of talking and laughter! One more party under my belt & one more ASU grad party to go!<br />

Busy getting ready for a graduation party here!!! My son graduated in December with his Bachelors Degree and my daughter-in-law also graduated in December with her Masters Degree. We are so proud and happy around here! We decided to wait until the holidays were over to have a party. It started with a small family party and has grown to a large family party! But that's great...the more the merrier!! Hoping to get lots of fun pics to post! So ....see you Monday, after the party!!Tinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06598505285693421365noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512565183569765694.post-22429781084542440372012-01-15T19:12:00.000-08:002012-01-15T19:12:33.934-08:00Wow!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />Surprising myself, I actually finished our vacation album that I have been working on for ....well let's just say...a long time. I love the way it turned out & love all the goodies that I packed into it. Feels good to have it completed.<br />

And below is my first attempt at Project Life. Still not sure exactly where I am going with it and it may change as I go...but that's OK. Just the fact that I got the first week finished is HUGE!<br />

I have not done a title page yet but I will. And I am currently working on my second week. Wow! It is really fun to create & I am sure as I go it will get easier and easier to pull it all together. Some weeks will be a bit more exciting than others but that is life, right! The point is to get it all down on paper. There is a lot of inspiration out there! I love seeing all the pages that everyone is creating. Good luck to all of you that are tackling this project too! We can do it!! <br />

Why oh why can't I just walk by scrapbook items that are on sale. I don't need them....I seriously don't need them. Yet once again I fell prey to the 50% off sale. I did get some more divided page protectors also.<br />
I think my Project Life may have far more goodies on the page than photos and actual life moments. LOL<br />

I got some supplies to start Project Life! Cause we all know that shopping for craft supplies is part of the fun! ;)
I decided to try to keep the cost down & use a lot of what I already have. It may take me a bit longer but I think it will work. I did get some paper on sale that I plan to cut up to the correct size. I have a few done ahead, corners clipped & ready to go. I also grabbed some small note tags.<br />

The things that I picked up were either on sale at 50% off or I used my 50% coupon at Michaels. I even grabbed a "Smash" date stamp. That was definitely a splurge. But hey...I used my coupon so it was only $2.50<br />

I went ahead and put a few of the items in a cigar box that I had on hand. (yes...it was from another project that I never completed) But I'm using it now...does that count? <br />

And last but not least I printed out things that went on this week. I do not have any photos yet but did write down a couple notes of a few pics I want to print. Unlike the week of Christmas I just don't have that many photos this week but I think it will work out just fine with the few I have and even a menu & some ephemera that I plan to include. All in all I am very happy with the result & just hope that I can keep it up!!<br />
<br />
*****************************************<br />
<br />
Here are a few shots of old scrapbooks where I have used a similar technique. I think it is the same idea as Project Life in that you use the multi-photo page protectors & some slots are left open for journaling, etc. I love how they add to the overall look of your scrapbooks. I always mix and match them with regular 12x12 pages. Taking it a stop further to Project Life seems like the great way to go. So.....here we go!!<br />

Problem is taking the time to actually sit down and complete them...well sometimes to even start them. haha :) So... too many times I do nothing.<br />
As you can imagine that gets me nowhere!!<br />
So with the new year I am thinking of the things that I want to accomplish (creatively speaking) and which direction I want to take. There are so many fun ideas out there. Project Life, Art Journaling, Photo A Day, Jewelry Making, Teaching Ideas, the list goes on and on. How do you approach them without getting overwhelmed and ending up getting nothing done!<br />
This is what I came up with...a couple key questions to focus in on what I really want to do.<br />
Ask yourself:<br />
1. What do I love to do the most?<br />
2. What would I really like to finish this year that I may have been putting off?<br />
3. How can I make it simpler to follow through on all the projects?<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't think I will ever (as much as I want to) be one of those girls that scrapbooks her entire family photos for the whole year. It just gets too chaotic for me. Although I tell you if I could do <a href="http://michellewooderson.blogspot.com/">this</a>, like Michelle has done, boy oh boy would I be one happy camper!!! How cool is that!! Now that is organized!!<br />
I have always scrapbooked in that style, along with the regular 12x12 and partitioned pages & pockets. When I look back at my books that is the style I like the most. So here is the big question...could I actually complete this? WOW wouldn't that be awesome.<br />
So I thought if I put it out there I may actually hold myself accountable. SO...here goes!!! Wish me luck & lots of channeling of Michelle's stamina to follow through !!!!<br />

How cute is this tag!! Made from TP or paper towel rolls...ingenious! Both the tag above and the tag below are from <a href="http://olderandwisor.blogspot.com/">this blog</a>. Last year I actually used the idea below and made initials for all of my packages. They turned out great! You can scroll back to December here on my blog to see the ones I made last year. :)<br />

The cut out snowflake makes a great little tag with a little striped string to add some color! Looks like <a href="http://www.notonthehighstreet.com/sophiavictoriajoy/product/lasercut-snowflake-gift-tags">she </a>laser cut them but you could just use a punch for the same great look! <br />

Another simple wrap but it looks so good!! If you don't have a real tree even some fake greenery & a few pine cones would do the trick! These are from <a href="http://abrakadeborah.wordpress.com/">this blog</a>.<br />

I just love how most of the wrapping ideas out there are pretty basic. This one involves newspaper & some burlap. You could add any bow to the top to make it look a bit more Christmasy. This idea was found <a href="http://latelierdeso.canalblog.com/archives/p66-6.html">here</a>.<br />

These adorable little burlap bags are tied up with glittered initials. I used initials on all the packages last year and I must say they looked so good under the tree!!! Easy to do for a "wow" effect. These are from <span class="blogUrl"><a dir="ltr" href="http://prettiesandposies.blogspot.com/">http://prettiesandposies.blogspot.com/</a> <i>but unfortunately the blog is private.</i> :( I found the photo on Pinterest.</span><br />

These two (top & bottom) are from <a href="http://olderandwisor.blogspot.com/">here</a>. A beautiful little doilie makes a great topper to a brown paper wrapped package. And below is just so dang good! A little more effort but with a cricut or other cutting machine you could go to town and cut them all out at once!

This one is green all the way around!!! Use up those old burned out bulbs & create gift toppers for your packages. So cute!!!

Last but not least are some stars! Red and green ones would be cute too! They could be made out of paper or fabric. If you put them on a cute little ribbon they could be reused next Christmas as tree ornaments!

And there are ideas in abundance out there! You can really go all out AND spend a lot of money to get the look you want. Or you can keep it simple and use what you have around the home to create some stunning tables. Here are just a few of the ones that I have found online. Enjoy!!<br />

The top two photos are <a href="http://www.bammydon.blogspot.com/">Sherry's</a> book. Everyone was given the opportunity to choose their own papers and picture for the outside. <br />

The above book is Brittney's. She chose darker scrapbook paper for her cover. Love the look! The inside of everyone's book is filled with watercolor paper, cut & stitched together to create the pages. Everyone seemed to pick up on the binding technique & run with it. There are so many different things you can change up & create using this technique. <br />

This next book belongs to Darlene. Wow! She did a great job with her book. I love the combination of papers & binding tape. She actually used the fabric for her binding material. So cool!! <br />
