Button Farm Alice in Wonderland Book Project

Hello,

What are you watching right now? Right now, my boyfriend and I are watching Breaking Bad. We are on the 4th season. I missed watching it during the hype of it all but it's now on Netflix and I have the time to watch. Some of the episodes were a big WTF! I am enjoying it though. I am also watching the Bosch spinoff and finally finished The Mandalorian because my sister says that I have to watch Boba Fett if I want to find out what happens to Baby Yoda.

My project today is a mini book using a kit from the Button Farm. I just love Alice in Wonderland and I find myself "collecting" stamps, dies and paper. I have to keep reminding myself not to hoard! But it's sooo hard!

A Dog's Tale no spine Mini Album

Hi! I want every day to go slow because these summer days go by so fast. Why? I am on summer vacation from school and I go back to work at the end of July so once we hit July it really starts feeling like a count down until the end. I get up before 7am everyday and it's my favorite part of the day. The kids and my boyfriend are still asleep and I have a quiet moment to myself. I have coffee and play on my phone, read and usually get a chance to do a little crafting. I think that I could use another hour of sleep but I really don't want to give up that time to myself. It's definitely another form of self care.

Today, I am sharing a little simple mini album using a Dog's Tale. It uses the no spine method and is such a fun little project and super easy. I hope that you take some time for yourself today!

Nautical Flip Book

Hi everyone,
I have another flip book to share today. These are quite addicting to make and a great stash buster. I look around my craft room and sometimes I wonder why I bought some things because they were pretty probably but not necessarily the most practical for my everyday crafting but super fun to use in flip books.

Disney Days Mini Album

Hi everyone,
Today's project is a mini album that I made as a gift for a friend. The last couple of days of my winter break, I was a little under the weather and was in my pajamas for most of that time but I didn't waste my time. I put together this little album with scraps and my stash!

Here is my project:

I also used a couple of pieces that I was hoarding so that felt good too! No more hoarding because there is always new stuff to buy and discover. Here is my video:

Smash Book #1 Finally completed!

Hi everyone,
I finally completed my Smash Book. Of course, I am a year behind but I was able to finish this Smash Book and begin anew with 2015. I have sworn to myself to catch up and so I ordered some more printer ink and paper to start printing pictures. I do think that I am going to see what kind of deals there are in sending them out for printing as I would be faster. Still debating....

Anyhow, here is the video of my finished Smash Book:



If you are interested, here are the links to my other Smash Book updates:

It does feel to complete it. I will probably continue this format as I have a ton of Smash Books that I have purchased on clearance and it is a great way to use up scraps and other ephemera and washi that I don't use in my other crafting.

12 Days of Christmas Mini Album and Decor piece

Hi everyone,

I am sharing my last official Christmas project. I was hoping that I would get it done in time for my 25 Days of Christmas but it just didn't happen. I made a Christmas album from Kathy King aka Paper Phenomenon's house and 6x6 album tutorial. I really have a lot of problems with 3D projects so my house roof is slightly wonky but I covered it up with lots of sparkle ribbon. Be sure to watch the video to see the entire project. It needs two pictures that I am waiting for otherwise it is complete!

The album fits inside the house and I used Graphic 45's 12 Days of Christmas paper pad for this project.

Toilet Paper Mini Album

Hi everyone,
I have been so busy lately and I have been in a bit of a crafting funk. Does that happen to anyone else or just me? I did make a ton of shirts for my daughter's dance team and I did a little scrapbook to share. There aren't any pictures in this one because I made it for a swap.
Here is the video.




I only have a couple of weeks left in the school year and then hopefully a little bit more time for crafting. I do have a few projects in the works and will be posting them here on the old blog. Thanks for visiting me!
