New Art Poject

I saw in a magazine a long time ago a piece of art that I thought was really cool. It was a group of tags that were embellished and collaged with scrapbooking supplies, then arranged on a mat and framed to hang on the wall.

I thought this was a cool idea, so I decided to do one for my office at work.

Here are the pictures:

This is the completed piece.












Here are close-ups of all the tags

Baby Books!

I am makeing my second baby book in the last 4 months for yet another co-worker who is pregnant. The first was for a girl and so is this one. I also have a boy baby book to make for my neice who is due in May. The thing I love about making baby books, is there are no pictures, so the layours are EASY-PEASY to make! Here are the pages I have done so far.

What I have created in my newly organized scraproom!

I thought I would share some of my layouts I have made since I re-did the scraproom. These are layouts I did for my book about ME! I finally got pictures from my brother of when I was a kid, so I am having a BLAST scrapping about myself for a change, instead of my kids!

It's Friday! I'm tired and other stuff

Well, I am so glad it's Friday! I am so tired! My youngest had her last basketball game of the season (YEA!), but the bus didn't get to the school until 10:30, so we didn't get home until 11 pm, then up at 4 am to see hubby off to work. UUUGGGHHH!!! I told her that if she wants to do sports next year, she needs to either find a ride, or get her license.

On the note of my youngest daughter: She is a sophmore in highschool, and in the last 3-5 days has received no fewer than 17 letters from colleges trying to recruit her, including the engineerng college my older brother went to, Rennselear Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York, and one down in Louisianna, some obscure college called Tulane. I'm "sure" that it is just some randome school (Heavy sarcasm here). She was so excited, because a lot of the colleges she hadn't heard of (though I had), but she has heard of Tulane. I think it is scaring her just a little bit how many colleges are contacting her. Her sister didn't start getting letters until mid to late in her junior year. But, she thinks it is good, since she has NO IDEA what she wants to do, or where she wants to go, other than it needs to be near the ocean, cause she LOVES the ocean. So, the process begins! Wish me luck, as this is my last one who's going off to college! Boy, a couple more years, and we'll be empty-nesters! WOOO HOOOOO!

And even MORE pictures

Here are the close-ups of the paper/embellishment drawers.
This is the red, pink, orange and yellow paper drawers























These are my rub-on and alphabet sticker drawers, and also dimensional alphabets, and brown and cream papers.

























The top two drawers are ALL Christmas paper, the next drawer is Christmas and other holidays embellishments.



Then the aqua papers (I have a LOT of these and they had to have thier own drawers!)













Then the blue and purple papers drawers







and the other non-color sorted embellishments, like people, clothes, vintage, sports, vehicals, animals, nature.....









Top drawer is page protectors, then the next two drawers are pages that need to find thier way into an album.





Then we have embellishments sorted by color

And still MORE pictures of the scraproom

These are detailed pictures (for you Marie) of
my button jars, sorted by color,











my embellishment and fiber boxes, again sorted by color,











and the corner of the rooom opposite the door. I redid that corner, and put my cassett rack up on the wall that holds most of my stamping ink pads.

More pictures of my scrap room.

I finally got the last little details done. My friend Marie needs more detailed pictures, cause she wants to snoop in my drawers! This is the closet, now camaflauged in fabric curtain, The bulletin board I re-framed, and the table my husband insists I reserve for him for building RC airplanes. But, I use as a guest table, or for my cricut.
