Whoo Loves You?

My Mind's Eye paper is amazing. I don't think I've come accross a line by them that I don't like.

You know, the other day, as I was organizing my stash of paper I realized something that made me smile. Most of the paper I was looking through has been sitting for quite some time; my scrap booking took a vacation for a minute. Anyway, what I was looking through dates back as far as when I first started scrap booking, like 5 years back, and back then I had no idea how many different companies are out there, I simply picked out papers I liked. Little did I know, I was picking out mostly the same few companies, My Mind's Eye being one of them. Now I know better; now I know to look for you! :)

This mini is for my mom. It spells out "Nanny" which is what my kids and niece call her; she refuses to be called grandma or abuela! It holds pictures of her grand babies. Of course, I wanted to keep it once I had the finished product in my hand :).

I made this little girl's skirt with a piece of pretty ribbon I had, kind of scrunched it up, sewed the top together so it looks like a skirt, glued it to the girl with fabri tac, and attached a little piece of twine from Papertrey Ink tied into a bow to the corner making it look like its part of the skirt! Super cute!


my favorite pages in the whole book! "Who Loves You?" The little owl was pretty simple to make. I got this idea from Elizabeth Kartchner's blog. Check them out! She made little stuffed owls with some real cute fabric, well, I thought they'd make great embelishments, AND I was right :). They are about 2.5x3 inches and really super fun to make.


just a few pictures of the kids.


The end. Enjoy!

School Days



Yesterday, while looking through October Afternoon's site, I came across a project that one of their design team members, Kinsey Wilson, made. She made an expandable folder to keep all her old report cards, school work, and stuff she kept from her school days. I thought, what an awesome idea. My son is finishing up his VPK career and I have his school work everywhere. I knew I didn't want to trash them but I didn't know what to do with them until I saw her folder. Sooo, last night I went to town on some green Smead file folders I "borrowed" from work..lol. Enjoy!

Supply:
Smead file folders (3), eyelets, dcwv grade school paper stack, kraft paper, ribbon, twine, pop up foams, cat's eyes chalks, circle punches (small, medium, & large)
