RAK REPOST

Didnt want anyone to miss out on this.
So youve seen lately that i love scrapping "off the page" Well i want to see your layouts using this technique! If you arent sure what im talking about just look in my gallery lately or scroll down here. Basically i just cut my background smaller and my papers or embellies are off the page. Its so much fun! So lets see what you can come up with. Link your layout here and ill pick my favorite layout and you will win the whole set in the pic below! (Deadline is 15th and ill post a winner the 16th)

a circle journal

Doing this with a great bunch of talented ladies. Here is what i came up with. Ill show the rest eventually when its all filled up by everyone!

a layout

This ones for a KI blog challenge...inspired by this layout

http://www.kimemories.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=ideagallery.detail&loid=1391

and a card

I did this card for the Hero Arts blog challenge. I love how it turned out ..now to find out whos having a new baby i know haha

Layout Update

After a long day of putting together albums ive managed to scale it down pretty good. Scroll down farther on my blog for the before picture. I still have a good chunk left but i got alot accomplished today!

ScrapRoom Repost

Reposting this for a lady looking for organizational ideas on her blog..just ignore me hehe

Here it is..small but just right for me.



My paper storage..i lucked out and was able to buy these pretty cheap from a closing lssI just store by manufacturer or cardstock color


My stamp pads/stamps and my small embellishments. For some reason i like having all my stamps in plain view or else i never use them


My fancy pants felt shapes in the sterilite box, All my acrylic stamps are in the middle drawer and of course chipboard in the pasta jars. I stole these from my own kitchen..how horrible am i? lol The orange drawers i bought at Michaels a long time ago. I store my paints by color in these


I store all my stickers and thickers on my Clip It Up


My 8.5x11 cardstocks i store by color on this file folder desktop wire rack. The smaller patterned papers and cardstocks are just in the basket.


My flowers i have in $.50 Easter clearance buckets from Walmart and some Making Memories Jars i got on clearance at Target. Also my Creative Cafe felt flowers are in the candy jar from Target. The basket is for my ribbons and trims




Here are all my tools and pens/markers plus my trimmer


My open embellishments drawer. I have purged alot so its pretty minimal


My rubons..what a mess. After i open them and they are small enough to cut down and store in this photo album thats where they go. I throw my large sticker sheets in here too.


And thats about it. The rest of my drawers and cabinets arent worth showing. Too much junk lol

A Huge Task Ahead

Those of you who know me well know that i like to procrastinate a tad but this particular time its gotten ridiculous. Ive put this off and put it off again and then some more and more etc. etc. The task of putting my layouts into actual albums. I walked into my scrapbook room and looked at my boxes of layouts and cringed as i always do. Today though i was actually pulling them out to do something about it. So phase one is complete of this enormous task. They are somewhat sorted. Mostly just by child and size. Next on the agenda is to put them in chronological order. Here is a pic so far of my poor pages. This will probably make some of you feel much better about your own small piles
