Gratitude Journal 2011

Back in November of 2011, I posted HERE a bunch of scrappy supplies that I was going to use to make a Gratitude Journal.

Well, the journal is finally done awhile ago. I just haven't had a chance to share it with you. So...today is the day. And I tell you....I LOVE the way this journal turned out.

When I decided to make this journal, I had an idea...that the journal would look like the "Day Book" by Amy Tangerine. Well...my book doesn't look anything like Amy's Day Book, however, I used her ideas of using lots of elements inside the journal. I used tags, subway arts, envelopes and some acetate sheets. It was lots of FUN making it.

Anyway.... here's my 2011 Gratitude Journal.

Yup...it's a bit chuncky....{didnt plan it to be that way} :D.

And now...here's all the pages inside...{WARNING: Lots of pics}

That's all. Thanks for letting me share this with you.
Have a wonderful Tuesday.

Summer Mini Album ~ Smash Style

Hi scrappy friends,

I bet {by now} you must have heard the popularity of Smash Books by K&Company....and maybe you already owned one of them.

Well, I LOVE the whole ideas of smash book. I think it's creative and FUN.
So, when I received my first DT assignment from Simple Scrapper to make a DIY Smash Book...I was super excited.

Here's my version of Smash Book - Summer Mini Album

This simple and fun Summer Mini Album cost me nothing, not even a penny. I used all scraps and supplies I have and I LOVE LOVE how it turned out. It's a working progress...

I consider this as a mobile album. I can carry it with me anywhere and simply just add this and that. FUN right?

Now...I will show you all the pages. Ready? It's a lot...but I hope you enjoy it.

On this project, the patterned papers I used are from Echo Parks Dots & Stripes which I already have in my stash. I also added some note cards for journaling, coin envelopes and some tags.
Last but not least the cover is from corrugated cardboard.

I can see myself adding some more pages to this album...because Summer isn't over yet :D

Well...that's for today.
I hope you're having a wonderful and FUN Summer despite the hot and humid {and some heat waves} weather.
Hugs,

Toilet Paper Mini Album

If you follow me on my YouTube channel...then you probably have seen this project. I made this mini album awhile ago for a swap over at The Scrap Beach, and I just realized that I haven't share it with you here in my blog. So..here's my very first Toilet Paper Mini Album.

When I signed up for this swap...I was pretty excited and at the same time nervous. Not sure how I was gonna create this, then my partner emailed me and said, "make it whatever your heart desire." Pretty cool...so this album was a bit scrappy experiment {LOL}.

I used {a total of} 5 toilet paper rolls {good way to Recycle those rolls}, then flattened out. I painted the top and side of all the TP rolls. I did lots of scrapping and stamping too.
And it came out beautifully. You can watch my video for this mini album HERE. Have fun watching

I'm planning on making another one for my family, however this time I'm going to use The Paper Towel Rolls. It's a bit longer...so it will give me more space to work on. But I need to wait until the paper towel itself all gone.

Well...thanks for stopping by.

Take Care and Happy Scrapping.

Hugs,
