New Post

I've posted a new mini album today.

I've been busy getting ready for my trip to Michigan. I'll be taking a long weekend to spend some time with family and friends. I'll also be photographing a wedding next weekend.

I'll be spending tomorrow at the shoppe, Scrapper's Boutique. If anyone is interested in joining me, I'll be there at ten am. I've got a lot to work on so I'm not sure how long I'll be there, but I don't expect to stay through crop night.

The switch.

As we speak, my posts here on blogger are being "sent to" my new website! How exciting to have everything in one place!

That's 214 blog posts over the last year. The good, the bad and... the ugly!

In the meantime, I've been working on an album for a new class. I'm thinking something along the lines of summer. Since summer is the time when most people travel, I was thinking of using Maya Roads suit case mini. It's adorable, and I love the little heart on the cover. It's super cute, and totally affordable at $5.50- with eight chipboard pages. The pages are big enough to "house" a 5X7 photo, which means plenty of room for all those photos taken on your last vacation. (Or upcoming vacation!)

I think they would even make a great gift for someone who is vacationing to you. We have lots of visitors through out the year, I could make a few, have them ready, and just print photos and add them to the pages. It would be a nice going away present as we're seeing them off at the airport.

After embellishing, glitzing, and papering- I can't see it costing any more then $20. Though, we could challenge ourselves to spend only $10-

Hm... that's got me thinking!

I have a great idea for a new class... Details no later then Wednesday July 8th.

.changes.

I'm in the midst of changing the site I host my blog on. As I near my one year "blog-anniversary" I've decided it's time to start "movin' on up!" This will help showcase my work better, and keep me better organized for the future.

I have also put a lot of time and energy into a new site so I'm going to start using it! (Not to mention money.)

Just today have I started to figure everything out.

From today forward, I'll be posting all my new stuff over there.

Where is there you ask?

There is here.

I'm going to try and transfer some of my more recent posts, but don't hold me to it!

Happy 4th of July everyone!

Oh, and Stephanie please send me an email so I can email you photos of the mini album!!

Edit: Bo Bunny, Pet Shop

The book was driving me crazy!! It wouldn't stay shut... or even lay flat. So... I got to thinking. Tim Holtz makes these fancy little things called Hitch Fasteners. I attached one of those to the front of the album. Got out the key hole style grungeboard, inked it, and attached it to the bottom side of the book. When unscrewing the hitch fastener I am able to attach the grungeboard, reapply the hitch fastener and keep the album closed! THANK GOODNESS I have EVERYTHING in my collection of... stuff! It will make more sense when looking at the photos!!

Bo Bunny and Maya Road had a baby...

and this is what happen!









My gramma is going through a tough time, having to decide the fate of her dog. Madison is nearing (or is) 12 years old, full breed Border Collie. Sweet dog, she was gorgeous in her younger years when we used to show her. Her ears have a mind of their own!! They flop backwards instead of forward!



I've put together the album for gramma to add her own photos and journaling. The book is approximately eight pages long, and chalk full of Bo Bunny Pet Shop, Cosmo Cricket, Bazzill cardstock all rolled into a Maya Road album!
