Scrap that Stash

Yet another scrapbooksteals.com challenge. This one is creating a page of your scrapping area. Mine is woefully sad, but hopefully after we move Dave and I will have a nice office for my crafting and his general nerdiness.



Keeping it Real

Challenge #2 on scrapbooksteals.com is a page about the reality of your life. No sugar coating. While I cannot pretend that Dewey is anything but adorable, he wreaked some major havoc early on.

Something Old, Something New

Here is another challenge from scrapbooksteals.com, but this one is to create anything using 3 of the 4 "something old, something, new, something borrowed, something blue". I took an old vase, used some new and old paper, and painted on something blue to create a decoupaged home decor item.

Page for my Mom's scrapbook

I made my Mom a family scrapbook a few years ago. As the family grows, I make new pages for her to add to the book. Here is the page for my second child and her 4th grandchild. Now I need to make one for her 5th grandchild and my new niece!

Amethyst #1

Here is my page for Scrapbooksteals.com Mid Week Mojo. I used a picture from an old calendar of my favorite photographer, Robert Doisneau. I struggled with this one so am quite pleased with the way it turned out.


Here is the layout
