Project I taught last night

Here are some photos of a project I taught last night at The Mad Scrapper.

Really simple book made of 12 x 9 Manila Envelopes. I bound them with the Cinch. The paper is Jillibean Soup. Love it.

There is one envelope for each month of the school year to stash papers, art projects, ticket stubs, newsletters, report cards, etc.

On The Beach Book for Thursday's Class

Here is the project for my class this Thursday at http://www.madscrapper.com/

It is using the Graphic 45 On The Boardwalk collection, lots of great embellishments including crepe paper, beads, charms, buttons, flowers, tags.

The book is 8x8 chipboard.

If you are coming to class bring your favorite brown ink and LOTS of pop up foam dots. I used a whole package on this book.

New Project for Thursday's Class

at The Mad Scrapper in Issaquah. Call the store if you want to sign up. The Thursday classes are free, you pay for your supplies and can buy the directions if you want.

The Album is made with the red, white and blue We R Memory Keepers collection Old Glory. The pages are 6x8 and 6x6 and I used two different bindings, tied pages and an old favorite, folded paper strips with wet adhesive.

31 Days of Halloween Calendar

This is for a class at The Mad Scrapper on Thursday.

I just love Halloween and especially this paper line by My Minds Eye-Boo to You. So fun. Here are some photos from this project,

it is really large-built on a piece of foamcore 20x30.

I used the COOLEST google eyes, they are on springs. They look so adorable on Frankie!

Another New Project for our Scrap Yard Chicks Weekend

This is one of our mini class projects (Make and Takes) for Sunday afternoon. It is a Coin Envelope Mini Album. One of my talented partners Kathy created this little beauty. The envelopes are custom die cut and then she used Pink Paislee's Amber Road collection.

Each envelope has a tag inside to journal about the things we are grateful for. It is so beautiful, photos don't do this project justice.

Our First Scrap Yard Chicks Project is Online!

Our First Project for our Scrap Yard Chicks Fall Weekend Workshop is online!
It is one of my classes, a cute 6x6 recipe Book. It is a Maya Road sheer binder and Shabby Green Door paper, rubons and other cute embellishments. I just love this line of paper, it reminds me of my Betty Crocker Cookbook that was my mom's from the 40's.


We will be making pockets and pages for recipe storage.
We are also including a set of stamps to make your own custom recipe cards. Those Shabby Green Door rub ons are so great on the sheer binder tabs-they go on like butter!

Here is the scoop on the weekend. This is just one of 7 projects that we are making, the other photos will be coming online soon.

Accordion Card Box

This project is for a class Weds night at The Mad Scrapper in Issaquah. I love this Junebug paper line from Basic Grey. I love anything with great red papers in it.

The file box is entirely handmade, the covers are chipboard, the sides and dividers are made with the Scor Pal and Bazzill cardstock. This is a repeat class, I originally made this project last year.
