Acrylic "Family" album

Ok - So, where does the time go??? It has been beyond busy at home with end of school, family, people getting sick!, etc.,etc. And I have been super busy at work, too! (of course - doesn't it always happen that way?) So, I have not had a lot of time for anything! But I did finally get to play last weekend. I made an acrylic album for my sister. Her family came down and we went to Disneyland. Woo Hoo! SO much fun! So, you just know... I will have to be playing with some Disney themed things! But in the mean time, here are a few things I have made recently.

"Family" acrylic 8x8" tabbed album. Everything in Black & White.

And of course, I had to make a couple of frames for the kids while they were out here! Here is a Disney frame that they can put a favorite picture in when they get home:

Mari is in a Gynmanstics team. So, I had to make a little frame for that, too! The name of here team is "Beach Ball Gumdrops"!

So, until next time....

Put me in coach!

"Put me in coach - I'm ready to play... today!" Well - I haven't posted for a little while... I really don't know where the time goes. It just seems like I never have enough! I know... I know... I am no different that anyone else out there. Way too much to do... and not enough time to do it!

Trevor has been in baseball... and had their championship game on Saturday. They won first place! Woo Hoo! Tonight was their team party. So, this weekend I was busy getting things ready for the kids, coaches, team mom and scorekeepers. This is one of the coaches plaques I made.
This is an album I made for our team mom and scorekeeper. The album was made with acrylic and chipboard circles. Here are a few of the pages.

Now baseball is officially over... and now Trevor will be involved in one sport! Taekwondo. So, now I will have to come up with a fun thing for that!!

Baby book and frame...

Recently I made a baby frame and baby book for a friend at work. Her son is having his first child, so people at work through her a "Grandma Shower"! It was very fun... I had some cute scrapbook paper that I used. I searched for various quotes about grandparents on the internet... I printed up the quotes and then stamped over them with the stamp set "I'm Here" from Stampin Up!
I did the same thing with the little photo album. I used various quotes and then stamped over them. I used the versamark watermark stamp pad and then chalked over the image. It comes out great!

The flourish stamps were done the same way, using versamark and chalk. The flourish stamps come from Kits2Remember. They are awesome!! I really like them because they are unmounted.. but the stamps are rubber - not acrylic.

Imagine That!

Hi everyone... You will have to check out a blog that I recently discovered... Imagine That! This blog was formerly known as "Everything Cricut". It is a very fun site!!
:o)

Happy!

I am HAPPY! I was asked to stay on the Kits2Remember Design Krew for another term (6 months). I was very excited that they wanted me to stay! Woo Hoo! So, this is the first project I did for this term. (seems appropriate, don't you think?)

I used a scrapbook kit from Storytellers Club. They have the cutest paper!! I just love it. They really do a great job on their kits.

The top piece is a 6x12" acrylic piece, of course from K2R. I absolutely love their acrylic. I think it is the best around. I used their new flourish stamps and clear embossing powder to emboss on the top and bottom edges of the acrylic. The bottom piece is a 8x12" metal panel, also from K2R. This is fun because you can use magents and put pictures on it!

Scrapbook Layouts

I finished a couple of layouts recently - finishing up the album for... (I hate to admit) 2005. I am SOOOO far behind. UGH! I will be going away at the end of May - so I am hoping to do some MAJOR scrapping. Think I can get all of 2006 done??? I always have great hopes...

Here is Christmas 2005...

And this is my cutie neice and newphew, Mariana and Ian.

Warm, Soft Blankets!

A couple of weeks ago some friends and I all got together and made some blankets. We had a blast! We ran to JoAnn's and had fun looking at all the fun fleece material. Everyone bought some... Then we came back home to put them all together. It worked out great. Everyone worked on each blanket - and we cranked them all out! It worked out so well! We cranked out 6 blankets that day!! You can see mom, Carla and Peggy working at tying...

It was a great day!!

School Pics

This is a small project that I made for my neice and newphew... I used acrylic and metal panels from Kits2Remember. I have to say - I really LOVE their acrylic!! It is the best. This project was made with a 4x4" acrylic and a 4x4" metal sheet. Of course, some pretty scrapbook paper... I found some cool buttons at Michaels, so I used them on the metal panel, so it kind of frames the picture. I made one for each kid, so they can put up their own picture... or maybe their friend from school. It was a fun project to do!!

I have been so busy lately... I really don't know where the time goes!! But I still manage to get into my craft room and play around a little. This is a frame I made for someone at work... Her daughter had her first baby. I made two - one for the daughter, and one for grandma! It came out really cute. I have to say - I LOVE making frames!!

What a Character!

I know that it has been a while... Just like everyone else I know, I have been busy, busy!! I swear I don't know where the time goes! Between work, home, kids, homework, baseball, tae kwondo, etc., etc..... Well, it doesn't leave a lot of time. But I did finish a layout! Woo Hoo! So, here it is...

My sister and her little girl, Mariana, had come down here - and of course we had to go to Disneyland! I hate to admit it... but I am SO far behind in my scrapping, so these pictures are actually from 2006! UGH! But I suppose, little by litte... right?
