{Scrappy Goodness} Gift Tag

I'm over on the FotoBella blog sharing a step by step of how to create this tag.  However, I wanted to share it here also.  I had never made these flowers before and I have to say they turned out cute. I'm proud of them.

{Scrappy Goodness} Enjoy the Moment Box

Hello and Welcome.  I was in the mood to do something crafty but didn't feel like scrapbooking.  I had a round paper mache box in my closet that I have been trying to figure out what to do with.  I also still had the paper flower kit left over from my Basic Grey Fresh Cut Bundle from FotoBella

I thought the flowers would be awesome on the top.  I measured the size of the box around and cut my paper accordingly.  I then cut some holes in the top to put the brads from the flowers through.  Once I attached my flowers I added the leaves and tag to finish off the top.

A simple quick easy box.  Not sure what I'm going to do with it yet, but it was easy and fun to make.

{Scrappy Goodness} Gift Tag

Hello!  Today I wanted to take a few moments to share with you a gift tag I created using the Basic Grey I want it all bundle for the FotoBella DT.  The bundle comes with these great wooden tags.  I basically started with wooden tag as the base.  From there I cut a piece of patterned paper to attach to the bottom.  Then I started layering different embellishments until I was happy with the look.

Thank you for stopping by to take a look.

Recycled Baby Food Jars

I have a post up today on Scrapbooks-Plus Blog about how to make these cute little guys.  They make great gifts and are great way to reuse your those jars instead of just throwing them out.

You can check it out the post here.

32 during 32 | Layout 5 of 12

Since it is well after Christmas now and everyone as their Christmas gifts from me, I think it is safe to show these here on the blog.  I have a few more in process on my craft table also.  I think that this item will almost be checked off my list.  Love it!

Today, I'm sharing a layout I did for my dad.  If you haven't figured out by reading this blog by now, my family is a little obsessed with trains.  A love that comes straight from my father and that I am happily passing on to my children.  I was also lucky enough to find a husband that enjoys them also.  In February  my family was here visiting from California.  We took the day and went up to Baltimore to go to the B&O Railroad Museum.  It was so much fun.  Jalyn and Dewypa just had a blast going from one train to the next looking at everything.  There was a lot of Dewypa look and Jalyn look there going on.  My dad's vast amount of useless knowledge never ceases to amaze me.  So now that I'm rambling on and on let me get to the layout for you to view.

I had this great picture of Jalyn standing on the back of the train.  It was screaming make a layout with me.  So I happily obliged.  Since I was making this for my dad, I was trying to keep it from being to girly.  Not real sure how well I did that since it is a lot of purple.   But, he loved it and I guess that is all that counts right!  I am really proud of myself because I used only things I already had in my too large stash of scrapbooking product.  I really need to clean it out, again.

Hope you enjoy!  Thanks for looking.

Made with Love for a Great Man!

My mom, sister and I made a scrapbook for my Grandpa's 80th birthday party! I am so proud of it and I wanted to take a few minutes to post a few pics. It took a while to do but I think for the most part it turned out nice. The book ended up being about 30pages, since I don't have pictures of every page I can't remember exactly. It is the largest book I have ever created.

These are a few of the pages...
Enjoy!!
