Hi there!  Just a quickie little post here today.  I'm on borrowed time.  Naptime will only last so long!  haha.   I wanted to share a few pics from my post over at The Scrappy Tree. Today it was all about my paper bag pockets that I recently made. 

Please stop on over to The Scrappy Tree and read up on them.  They are really fun to make and give as gifts.  I also added them to my ETSY SHOP, so if you'd like some for yourself, you can pick them up there.  As always, if you'd like a custom order, just message me!  I'd be happy to do it! 

This week I am starting all the fun tax preparation stuff but I hope to get a little crafting in here and there too!

Flea Market Photos

I had a lot of fun this past weekend when I went to a flea market. I found a lot of "old relatives"! :) Here's a peek into all the old photos I came home with. The cards above are so cool! I just love them. They tell the story of a married couple and the husband apparently was tempted by the new maid! :) These were all the cards that I could find of the series unfortunately. There are more out there somewhere but the seller only had these.

Every single photo in this old drawer is from the flea market. There were so many lovely old images. Each time I look at them, I'm transported back to those days!

The photos above will be perfect to copy and place in a mini album!

This set is perhaps my favorite! I love the photos of the bride and groom! Check out the bride's bouquet! Yikes! :)

PaperBag gift pocket over at The Scrappy Tree

Today over at The Scrappy Tree, I shared my pictures of the gift I made for my Grandmother. Click here to check out the post!


Here's a look at the trims I included in her gift pocket!

I'd like to thank Michelle Wooderson for her inspiration on this project!

I haven't been scrapbooking in quite awhile but that's going to change! I decided to purchase Project Life from Becky Higgins and get to getting our daily memories preserved! Here's a little taste of Project Life!



It not only looks great in my opinion, but it also looks easy! Great combination in my book! :) I look forward to showing you some layouts in the future.....Amazon is sending it now!

Christmas Paper Bag Album

December is upon us! Boy does time go fast! It seems like I've been busy with one thing or another and my poor blog got neglected. I'd like to get a post in here today that has a Christmas paper bag album that I posted to The Scrappy Tree blog today.

I really enjoy making paper bag albums. For the most part, they are quick things to whip up and just fun to decorate. For this one I used some old Webster's Pages Christmas paper and some of their trims as well as their stickers. I was also able to use some vintage sheet music that I got from an auction.

Here's a sample of the interior of the album. For more pics and info, please check out The Scrappy Tree blog. Have a wonderful day!

Recent Christmas Cards

Hello! I recently decided to enter another craft sale that is next month and I thought I better get moving on some Christmas cards! I had gotten Papertrey Ink's Love Lives Here: Holidays stamps and coordinating die. I just love the angel. Here are a few cards I made focusing on the angel from the set.

The following cards have Papertrey's Holiday Photo finishers stamps and dies used. The run along the bottom of the cards.

My goal is to have a minimum of 50 Christmas cards made up for this sale. I am 75% there on Christmas cards. I'd like to add more altered items to my sale list this time so we'll see how that goes! Thanks for stopping by!
