Post it note gift.

Need a quick gift for someone special? The first time I made these for my son's teacher for teacher appreciation week. They are cute and simple. You need one 4x6 piece of decorated paper or just use a photo! You need a 4x12 strip of paper and some adhesive. I made the two on the side and a friend made the one in the middle and she added a photo! How gorgeous is that?

First take you 4x12 and fold it in half. Then take one of those halves and for it in half again. Here is how it looks with the post it note on the bottom. Glue that post it note.

Take your4x6 printed paper or photo and glue it on the bottom of the flat only.

The top will be lose so that you can see the decoration as shown on the first picture. Then you can close it and mail it flat.

Simple journaling layout.

I am at a scrapbooking retreat so I am getting a lot of work done. I am also able to blog my wonderful pages again. My phone doesn't like my computer so if I take a picture from my phone I wasn't able to upload to my blog. Well I discovered the blogger app and I can now post from my phone! So expect more from me!

Here is a great simple layout! I used the creative memories kit enchanted. Those of you who scrapped with creative memories and now heritage makers know that they sell journaling cards. There are way too many cards for how I scrapbook. So now I am trying to use those cards. Like the "Tetris" layout yesterday. You can make with scraps or use some journaling cards! If you don't journal like I do. Just add some pictures to your layout. I just love writing my children's stories. 

Tetris Layout!

When I was making this. And cutting all those little pieces. I just felt like I was playing Tetris. This is a really easy layout for using your scraps! I actually used journaling cards. Creative Memories (now Heritage Makers) papers come with journaling cards. Way too many cards in my opinion. I won't ever use them all! So I took five cards of different colors and cut them up. Three pictures at 4x5 each on each page. They don't line up perfectly but you can't easily tell. I just love this layout!

Everyday Moments

Here are two cute layouts. Very simple pages but super cute!

Brotherly Love Part 3

I have been busy. Here is some of my work.

This one is really simple. Yet it took me forever to do the border. The background paper is a simple brown with writings on it. The border is three different shapes from the Creative Memories border maker. It took forever to decide on the color and shapes. Then just layer them. Simple yet time consuming because I couldn't decide what I wanted.

This is also a very simple layout. The background papers and the same. Then I took a sheet of paper and just rippppped it. I just love how ripped paper looks and it is soooo satisfying to ripppppp!

This is a pre-designed set of pages and I just added a frame to one of the photos and a few 'ball' stckers.

Same thing here. A nice set of pre-designed pages with a few stickers. Looks very good right!

Pre-desgined pages with stickers... simple and fun.

yep. pre-designed page with a few stickers. getting it done!

I love my boys. Really enjoying making them a little scrapbook. I figure they will eventually want to do a share day at school. This will be a perfect thing to take!

Brotherly Love Part 2

These went so much faster than the last batch. I just love this scrapbook. Just my boys together! All these pages are from the winter wonderland set. I think I only added a few stickers. I am keeping it simple and getting it done.

Brotherly Love

Finally started working on my boys 8x8 scrapbook. I have been having a hard time with my scrapbook. Its just taking forever to decide. I think its because of the smaller size its making me feel a little lost. I think I spent an hour on each page! Yikes

Here is the cover... Looks simple but I stressed over it for ages! Awesome photo though. We were at my mom's house and both kids were fighting over piggy back rides. So my mom helped Connor get on top and snapped a photo!

The next layout has the same papers on both sides. The other side just has journaling so I decided to post that.

I think my little album is looking good. I am going to scrap right now so expect some more really soon!
