Baby's 1st Easter

Easter Set. I created these gift sets with a tiny stuffed bunny, a chipboard album and it comes with a gift bag. It's perfect for that special baby's first Easter.



Archiver's

I've seen their store advertisements numerous times in magazines and I always wanted to go. Well, I did a few weeks ago and that store is amazing!

They have thousands of papers and stickers, not to mention punches, stamps, ribbons, albums, and all the things you can think of for scrapbooking. They also have a clearance corner, great selections, and most of them ranges from $1-$3.
Mike had to walk around the mall alone while I stayed in the store for about 1.5 hours. Poor guy! But it was his idea.

UHU Glue Roller

I have a few people ask me what kind of adhesives I use for scrapbooking. I use fabri-tac (my favorite), double sided tapes, Tombow Adhesive Glue, and UHU glue roller (pictured on the left).

If you haven't tried the UHU glue roller, you should. They have permanent and non-permanent ones. It has micro-dot glue pattern, which gives a clean break without the stringing effect, and it dries quickly. I often use it on those mini Quickutz die-cuts.

I think they sell it at Michael's for $6.99 (find a coupon), but you can do a search online and get it cheaper. I just bought a bunch (11 of them) for $29.00, that's with S&H on ebay. Give it a try.

Grandchildren Paper Bag Album

This Grandchildren album was a suggestion by one of my previous buyer. She wanted an album to put photos of her many grand kids. I'm not sure if she likes the final result, but I hope so. I used K&Company papers this time, I love most of their paper lines, so pretty.

Materials used:

  • K&Co. Sparkly Sweet line of papers
  • DCWV & Bazzill cardstocks
  • Tear Bears
  • Rhinestones
  • Ribbons
  • Rub-ons
  • Quickutz die cuts
  • Brads
  • Buttons
  • Butterfly punches
  • Prima, Mulberry, & Bazzill flowers
  • and various stickers








The Magic of Disney Board Book

I haven't made a Disney themed album since...I can't even remember, but it's been a while. I love how this one turned out! I need to develop the photos from my trip to Disney and start on my own album soon. My problem is sorting them out, we took over 2500+ photos. The joy of digital camera.

Princess Board Book

This is my very first board book, and I love how it turned .

Baby Boy & Girl Paper Bag Album

Yikes, I think I've been bitten by a baby bug. Not to have a baby, but making baby related stuff. ^_^ I made these two baby albums using Die Cut with a View's Nana's Nursery lines. I've been using DCWV ever since I started scrapbooking, I love their cardstocks, but I think their old stacks of patterned papers were just okay. But these newly released stacks are great, lots of pretty papers, and I think they are getting better and better.

Materials used:
  • DCWV Nana's Nursery Stacks
  • DCWV & Bazzill cardstocks
  • Ribbons
  • Rhinestones
  • Qucikutz die cuts
  • Tear Bears
  • Buttons
  • Rub-ons
  • Brads
  • Prima & Mulberry flowers
  • Charms
  • and various embellishments














BABY Chipboard Album

This is my 2nd BABY word album. My first one was listed long time on ebay and I sold it to a buyer in the UK. I had so much fun making the first one, I decided to make another. Of course, I change the papers, the layouts, and the embellishments. I think Bo Bunny came out with six more word albums: HAPPY, GRADE, BEACH, TEAM, I(HEART)YOU, and TRAVEL. I don't think I'm going to buy any, I think I have had enough of making these word albums. Perhaps I might change my mind in the future, but in the meantime, I hope you like this one.

Materials used:
  • Bo Bunny Baby word album
  • BasicGrey patterned papers
  • DCWV & Bazzill cardstocks
  • Prima, mulberry & silk flowers

My Boys Paper Bag Album

I often don't make album/pages for boys, but when I saw these newly released Bo Bunny patterned papers, I knew I had to make one. I really like how it turned out, bright and colorful!

Materials used:
  • Bo Bunny papers
  • DCWV and Bazzill cardstocks
  • Ribbons
  • Buttons
