scrapbook

Have to give credit to Rita Holmes for this idea. She had posted on her blog pictures of a baby scrapbook that she made for someone. I just loved the ideas and had purchased some small scrapbooks on clearance for almost nothing. So this scrapbook was very inexpensive to make with scraps from left over projects. I was even able to use my cricut, don't you just love that tool. How did we live with out it.

Christmas cards

Cards that I made and sold. The size of the cards are a 8 1/2 X 11 page folded in half. They wanted to be able to send a family photo in the card. That was my Christmas money. Loved making the cards. Hoping I keep getting orders for other cards.

Halloween

made these halloween treats for my mom whose a teacher and for her co-workers and staff. The bats and pumpkins are the sour cream container, so easy and cute. Frankie is just a treat box to fill. Happy Halloween everyone!

Cricut

Look what I did with the Cricut. I have been wanting to do this for a while now.
I just love all the photos I've seen of words, saying, and all sorts of other designs on walls, picture frames and any other place you can imagine.

The boys saw what I did and wanted something going into their rooms. So this is what they wanted. Really cute, and don't you just love the Mickey Font.

Fun Shop

I held a TAC Fun Shop in Lampasas, Texas last week. It went really well, especially since I haven't held a Fun Shop since we've moved a year ago. Hoping to be able to make these monthly. These are the projects we made: scrapbook page and a matching card. Very simple and easy, since some of the ladies haven't really done any stamping/scrapbooking.

TAC Team Mtg.

On Sat. I went to Temple, Texas to our team mtg. My upline Paula-Kay Bourland usually has them twice a year for her team. We all have so much fun, getting together.
This time around we meet at the Ronald McDonald House in Temple in there meeting room. They accept donations of household items in large quantities, food, drinks, and you can donate money to sponsor a family who may not be able to pay the fees to stay.

We had such wonderful projects to make, 6 projects. Paula-Kay and Poki did such a wonderful job. I can't wait to share them with you.



This project was made with wine bottle paper pags and was bound with the Bind-It-All machine. The paper used was one of the new papers in the TAC fall/winter catalog, Reece.


The ornament was made with our sheer scallop coasters.

The next project has name tag holders for either pictures or a gift card.



This project is a TAC Accordion album kit, Natalee. Such a wonderful album to give to someone.

Stationary Box

Yesterday I had around 10 friends come up for the day in Marble Falls.

We get together once a month to eat, hang out and play a dice game (LCR) and do a themed white elephant. It's always nice to get away and hang out with great friends

Since everyone had to drive an hour to come to our house I invited them to stay for the day. So I decided to have a craft project everyone could do. So we made a Stationary Box, with cards, tags, small memo pad, pen and a place for postage. It really came out cute. I hope my friends had as much fun and I did.

scrapbook retreat

I went to a retreat in Temple, Tx. this weekend and I wanted to share it with everyone. From Round Rock it's about 50 mins. It is a new facility that you can rent for scrapbook/stamping retreats. It sleeps 30 and each room sleeps 3, 4 or 5 people. Most of the beds(21) are upstairs that share 3 full bathrooms(shower stalls). Down stairs has 3 bedrooms that share 2 full bathrooms. The cost for the weekend is $195 which includes your weekend beginning on Thursday @ 5pm and ending Sunday @ 5pm. It also includes your meals, for Friday & Sat.(breakfast, lunch & dinner) and Sunday (breakfast & lunch).

* 8' table, rolling chairs, tag-along cup & trash holder, self healing mat, electrical access, cricut corner, tons of tools, satellite radio, 24 hr access.

* slumber party atmosphere

*you are welcome to bring your own snacks (sharing) and drinks

*tea, coffee & water provided

Or we can do our own meals, it has a full kitchen set up, which would bring down the cost, and we would have to schedule each room on kitchen duty.

My up-line Paula-Kay Bourland made these very cute cards for me. I just love the simplicity of them.

wanted to share two pictures of my 12 x 12 scrapbook layout pages that I swap with some girlfriends. We meet for a weekend twice a year and scrapbook and swap pages. We have such a great time.
