Scrap "Vintage" Pictures

I've been scrapping for years but this is something I had never done...scrapped pictures of me as a child!  I hate to calle them vintage but I guess that is better than "antique!"  This was for my challenge at Scrapdango for the Interview Challenge in Crowned.  Contestants had to scrap a childhood memory, use a certain color palette, and handwrite their journaling of at least 100 words!

I love how this turned out...I may need to scan and print some more old photos!

Punky Sprouts!

I have been asked to be on the design team at the brand new Punky Sprouts!  They are a new company that makes mixed media (chipboard, acrylic, canvas)  albums based right here in Gresham!  I met with her today and she asked me to join their team!  I am so excited and can't wait to get playing with the stuff she gave me!

Valentine's Day Soap {for teachers}

I have made soap many, many times before but never for teachers so I decided it counted as my something new!  I hesitate to say that I "made" soap though...it really is just a melt and pour soap that I then add color and essential oil to.  This time it is grapefruit and boy, does it smell good! :)  I made some simple tags and tied them up in little bags for all the ladies in the office too.  Isaac made little bag toppers for his teachers but I didn't get pictures of those.  Anyway, I am hoping everyone likes them!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Featured in a Newsletter!

This is something new and also quite an honor! The Scrapdango Design Team was asked to design for the February Pagemaps Newsletter! Becky Fleck has some great sketches each month and I got to design with the 8 1/2 x 11 Double page sketch! It had been awhile since I had done an 8 1/2 x 11 and it was a lot of fun!

Here's the sketch:

And my take on it:

Thanks Pagemaps!

LOST is tonight!

It is FINALLY time for Lost to start up again! We are a bit excited around here! Tadd invited some of his friends from work to come watch. I decided we need to get even more in the Lost frame of mind! Found some downloads online and whipped this up!

Something New #4.....1/22-1/28

I am a day late on this because my computer was having some issues yesterday...everything was SUPER SLOW! One call to Comcast today and they reset my modem and we are back to FAST! :)

Albums
As a scrapbooker for the last 10 years or more, albums should NOT make my something new list. Sadly, they do! I had stacks (one in my scrapbook room and one in my scrapbook pantry!) of layouts just sitting there waiting for a home! After doing a little reorganizing this Christmas Break, I finally just went and bought the albums and put them in! It is so great! My mom was over today and could actually look at all my layouts! :)

Here are my stacks!
And all the layouts are happily home!
