2009 Family Calendar

Here's my lastest project. I always make these every year for my mom, mil, husband and myself. This is the first year that I've done them digitally. Wow, it was so much faster this way. I usually head over to my Aunt's house(my Stampin' Up! supplier) and make them in one of her classes. Instead of using a cd case to hold the calendars I picked up one of those clear plastic picture frames that you can get at Walmart or the office supply stores. This frame is 3 1/2 x 5. I used my freebie calendar found here. All other digital supplies are Sugarplum Paperie's. The kits I used, in order, were December Grab Bag, December Grab Bag, Chilled Wine, Lime Twist, A little Birdie, Twitter Blossoms, China Blue, Mango Sorbet, Whimsey Doodle, Midnight Garden Party(Harvest Freebie), December Grab Bag, and December Grab Bag.

Megan's Journal

So I finally finished Megan's gift. I made this journal for her...it matches the jewelry box I made for her. I used Sugarplum Paperie's Midnight Garden Party kit. I have been making several of these journals lately. They are awesome gifts for kids that love to doodle or write. Even better yet they are super cheap to make...journals are usually $1.00 or less. 

Altered Wooden Snowman

This snowman was so much fun to make! The other day I was at Michaels looking at all of wooden shapes and thought this little guy would be so cute covered in paper. I scanned him to get his dimensions and used Sugarplum Paperie's December Grab Bag for my paper and elements. I used CS4 to design his face and nose. Other supplies: jewels, wire, ribbon, wooden stick, pop dots, chipboard for the sign, Soft Sky SU! ink, and Stazon Brown to sponge around the outside.

Midnight Garden Party Jewelry Box

Hi everyone! Here's my lastet project with this little wooden jewelry box I found at the craft store. I covered it with Sugarplum Paperie's Midnight Garden Party digital kit. You can't see it in the pictures, but I ran the paper through my Big Kick before gluing it onto the box. It looks so cute with all the raised swirls. I used Mod Podge to glue everything down and then put a coat of it on the top of everything. I digi-scrapped some pictures for the the inside of the drawers. This box is for my friends daughter who LOVES the Jonas Brothers. So I put them in the top with a little paper covered wooden heart. I put a rub on on the mirror that says...Ooh la la. In the bottom draw I digi-scrapped pictures of her with her kitty, sister and friends. I still have to add a little bling to it and a drawer pull.

Our Li'l Sugar and Spice

Our little Payton is just too funny! Check out all of his silly faces while he was eating this apple. I made this LO with Mari Koegelenberg's new kit Apple Orchard. Go check it out at the DigiChick.

Sugarplum Paperie Blog Challenge

Hi, everyone! I'm hosting this week's blog challenge on the Sugarplum Paperie Blog. The challenge is to journal with a poem or verse on your digital LO or hybrid card or craft. Go check it out on Sugarplum's Blog for your chance to win a $5.00 gift card to the Sugarplum Shop. Please make sure you use Sugarplum goodies, and if you don't have any you can use the freebies found here.

For my LO I used Sugarplum Paperie's Whimsey Doodle collab and stitches from Twitter Blossoms kit. I found this sweet poem and just couldn't resist making a page of my boys with it.

2009 CD Calendars

Hi everyone! Have you ever wanted to make one of those cute CD calendars? Well, here's your chance! I've made a 2009 calendar ready for you to digi-scrap.

First, here is the calendar that I made for you using a font from my MacFonts package. The page is already sized for you, so all you will need to do now is scrap up each month and print them out! You can fit 2 on one 8.5 x 11 page if you turn them sideways.

Once they're printed, cut them out and open up your CD case, carefully turning the front cover towards the back cover. Place your photo in the cover. It's just that easy!

If you use my calendar I would love to see your pages and please leave a link back to my blog.

Here's mine using Sugarplum Paperie goodies and Sir Bentley B Elvis...yes that is his papered name! My boys wanted his name to be Elvis so I compromised. Not sure were Joshua got the B from, but I thought it was cute.

Mini Albums

Here they are all 24 mini albums! I used black and Pumpkin Pie CS, the squares CB folder, black Sumo tape(WOW this stuff is strong!) for the binding, photo corner punch, corner rounder punch and orange ribbon. I digi scrapped the front with Alma Townsend My Guy kit with their last name(not pictured), number and team name. A BIG thank you to my husband and mom for helping me out with these things:)

If you look to the right, this is what I used to make them. Check out the chew marks, I gave these to my youngest son Payton and he chewed on them! When I saw them at Dollar Tree 2 for$1.00 I figured it would be a cheap way to make them.

Vintage Fall Free Sampler

Here's a free goodie from Mari Koegelenberg that goes with the Vintage Fall kit.

You're Purrfect Mini Album

This is a little mini album I made using Sugarplum Paperie's Twitter Blossom kit. I used mat board and cut it with my Big Kick. I punched holes in the top left corner with the cropadile and held it together with a post screw. The front and back cover are distressed, sewn and embossed with Fiskars dots template. The stamp is a Studio G $1.00 stamp. Circle and Scallop punches are from SU! Added jewels and ribbon. The inside pages are digi scrapped and distressed. Inside pages are posted below.

You're Purrfect

These are the four pages that I digi scraped with Twitter Blossoms paper by Sugarplum Paperie. Our cat Bentley is so funny. When he was a kitten he fit perfectly in this little basket. Now 13 lbs and still growing he some how squooshed himself into it and everything else in our home. The latest was my sons Adidas football shoe box. As you can see we had to throw it away!
