Some last minute gifts.....Altoid tins+clear pebbles=cool magnets!

I have friends at work that save Altoid tins for me and I thought these would make some great gifts for them as well as other friends. It's quick, easy, and relatively inexpensive.

Supplies: Clear pebbles ( I used 1" pebbles from the $1 Tree for a $1 bag, and 3/4" pebbles from Hobby Lobby that were $2.77 for a 2 lb. bag.), Zip Dry Paper Glue, circle punches, scissors, pen, adhesive, and magnets (super/extra strong), Super Glue.

 
For my tins I used some old maps and a 1946 Mademoiselle magazine I found this Summer and was just waiting for the right time to use it!! I covered the tin in the map and I used Graphic 45 paper to go with the vintage magazine pictures.

First, using a punch or just tracing around your clear circle pebble cut out your image.

 Once your image is cut out apply a small amount of Zip Dry glue to the pictures and place your pebble over top. Now press hard to get the bubbles out and to allow all the adhesive to be spread evenly. Let dry. Cut off any excess with scissors.

 

Now you are ready to add your super/extra strong magnet to the back of your pebble using Super Glue and you are set. I made some personalized magnets by using photos of my best friend's grandson and family. I could also see these added to thumbtacks for a super cute memo board. Super cute, super easy, super magnets! :)

One of the coolest ideas....EVER!!!

I love this site and their awesome photography skills! They made this heart using photos from their Fuji Instax mini camera! I would like to own the Fuji Instax 200 wide but will have to wait until the price comes down a bit! Isn't it just the coolest idea ever!!!  

To my son.....

I couldn't be more proud! Every year the Combined Efforts Drama group puts on a show featuring regular ed kids and special ed kids. These are some clips of my son singing in that show. I am so proud of him. He is a man of few spoken words but my goodness how he can SING! Thanks to listening to Bing Crosby all year long on our way to school....Jordan had this song mastered!! Enjoy....we did! (be sure to turn off my Christmas music on the right hand side so you can hear the video! Just click the play/pause button on the pink Nano player) Thanks to all the staff and kids for making this such a wonderful and moving experience!

Page protector banner! (tutorial)

All you will need are some 8x8 page protectors from Zutter and a little bit of fabric! Go here for the full tutorial!

This banner is so versatile in that you can switch out the page protector inserts and change what the banner says any time you want! This is a project that can be used again and again for so many celebrations and holidays!

 

A couple of projects to share....

I have a couple of projects to share. You can check them out at the Bind-it-all site and the Maya Road Design Team site! Enjoy your weekend and the last few days of shopping!!

Fabric yo-yo Christmas tree (tutorial)...

 
I love fabric yo-yos and here is a cute and easy little project to make a yo-yo Christmas tree! I used yo-yo templates from Clover! I love these little templates...so easy and a fast way to make yo-yos. I used three different sizes for this project. I used a scrap piece of thin upholstery fabric for this tree. Each yo-yo was stuffed with cotton batting to make it a bit fuller looking. After creating the yo-yos I simply stacked them on top of each other (2 large, 2 medium, 1 small) and adhered them with Fabric-tac(the wondrous all purpose glue I was turned onto by Katie Watson) and then decorated the tree withMaya Road's jewel pins and pearl pins. Simply push the pins right into your stuffed yo-yo. You may have to shorten the pins if needed.

Enjoy this Christmas season!
 

 

Here's to frigid temps and tons of snow.....

 
I would much rather be back here!!!! Why do I live in Iowa? I ask myself this question several times a day during the Winter months!!! Global warming?????? Not here!! I going to continue to dream of my days in the warm Mexican sun! Ahhhhhhh........ 

My Facebook account was hacked!!

My sincere apologies to anyone who got some disgusting Facebook email from me.If it looks odd DON"T OPEN IT!! My account was hacked and it really wasn't me who sent you that email. I think I have it fixed! What a horrible experience that has left me so upset that such crap could be sent via my name to all my friends and family! Please let me know if you are still getting anything sent under my name that isn't right and I will have FB deal with this mess! Again, I am so sorry to EVERYONE! :(

Photo strip garland (a tutorial).....

Last Christmas I made and shared a tutorial on this fun photo strip Christmas ornament!

Today I would like to share a tutorial on making a photo strip garland. Simple and easy!!

In Photo Shop I set my template as a 4x6 photo. I shrunk the two photo I used to 1"x1.5". This will give you 4 strips with four photos per strip. Next, cut those strips and attach them to some fun cardstock. I chose Vintage Plaid by Basic Grey! Cut these strips out.

Now remember those garlands you made in kindergarten? Well, that's what I did here! I just made a loop, stapled it and continue with the rest of my strips until I had a garland! A great way to make a personalized garland for your family!!

  

A quick and fast way to make your photos look like polaroids....

Hey all you shutterbugs out there have I got a couple of cool sites for you! First is the Poladroid! This is an application that will turn any photo into a polaroid just by clicking and dragging it to this adorable little blue polaroid camera that pops up on your desktop once you download the program! It even makes the cool sound that a polaroid camera makes! You can adjust the settings and save your "polaroid" for printing and/or you can add it to your Flickr pool! They even have a Flickr group you can join and a Polablog! Here are a couple of mine!

 
  
 
The other site is called Rollip and they have some great ways to make polaroid looking photos that you can print as well. What I really like about their site is the effects that you can choose from. Here is mine! SERIOUSLY!!! I am so loving this! I can't wait to print some off!! If you love the look of old polaroids then please check out both of these sites. They are FREE and they are FABULOUS!!!

Paper plate Christmas garland....

 
Supplies: Paper plates (I used 7 inch plates), ribbon or fabric, cardstock, Reminisce letter stickers.

I used my Bind-it-all and punched holes in the top of my plates. I tried to punch in the same place on each plate since it had a design on it. I threaded torn fabric through the holes to join the plates on the garland. I cut 3 1/2 inch circles and pop dotted them onto the center of the plate. I then added my sticker letters to spell "Christmas". You could make your garland say anything you wanted. With the plates costing about $1.50 for twelve and some fabric and cardstock on hand, this was a very cheap and quick little banner to make!

IQ tests and being the mom of a "special" kid......

So every 5 years or so my son has to have an IQ test so he can continue to qualify for services he receives such as respite and day camp during the Summer. Well, yesterday I took off work to take him to his testing. The highlight for me was being able to sit outside the room and listen in on the testing. Autism has such a wide range of effects and it is always interesting to me to hear/see how my son interprets things we may take for granted. I am always astounded by how his brain works and I was not disappointed! One of the questions she asked was red and green are examples of.....and after he echoed her words she told him the  answer....colors. After several question/answers he seemed to get it. My favorites were gas/food are examples of.....his answer...convenience store! Makes sense to me! Another one, car/boat....his answer....gas and oil. I get that one too! My favorite was defining words. This boy can spell correctly many words with many syllables but defining for him is difficult. However, he was creative on this one....curious. His answer...George the monkey and Alice in Wonderland! Needless to say, he remains in the mild retardation category and I am okay with that. The biggest compliment of all was the test givers complete joy in working with him and telling me how polite and wonderful he was to test. At 6 feet and some odd inches he is the biggest kid she had tested in a while!! I was so proud of my gentle giant and HE was so proud of himself too. He often tells me "no Autism" and I want him to know that it is just a box that is checked on a form that helps him get the help  he needs...it doesn't define who HE is. He is so much more than a label. It was inspiring to get a glimpse into his thought processes and it makes me realize how much he really DOES know and understands and can relate to. In a month, this boy becomes an adult, and I look forward to all the wonderful things that lay ahead of him!

The countdown has begun........

Girlfriends, flea markets, and fun!

It was so nice to get away with my best girlfriends this weekend. We had not been able to get together to get away since our trip in April to Key West! We stayed in the St. Charles/Geneva Illinois area and loved every minute of it. The highlight for us was the Kane County Flea Market that is held every month. Uh yeah....we did some damage there! Well some of us more than others! :) Here is a photo of two of my friends and their purchases......and yes, that is a CART!!!! I can't wait to go back in the Spring when we can bring a trailer with us!

They got some good deals so more power to them! Here are a few shots from the weekend and I am so grateful to have such fun-loving, supportive, loving friends! Thank you girls! You mean the world to me!

 
 

Halloween Luminary using my Zutter Bind-it-all!

I just wanted to share this fun little Halloween luminary I made for the Zutter Design Team Team! I used some Halloween themed stained glass looking paper from a  Dover coloring book and placed them on clear acrylic sheets. I cover the edges with Basic Grey Halloween paper and then bound the pages to make a standing luminary. I threaded ribbon through the holes to bind the book and used some BIA o-wires for the handle! I also placed a plastic bottom on this latern so that it could be hung or can sit on a table. Inside are two battery operated flicker candles making this a very safe but fun luminary! (If you can't find the Dover books I am thinking a person could print an image onto vellum and make their own stained glass looking page that could then be mounted onto plastic)

Have a safe and Happy Halloween!!!!

A quick Halloween album made with clear treat bags.....

 
Here is a quick and easy album using Halloween treat bags. I found these at Michael's for around a $1!

First, gather your bags and cut off the end so both ends are open. Fold bag in half and punch in your Bind-it-all.

I then bound the book using the silver bag ties that came with the bags. Just add some cardstock pages to the inside of the "sleeves" and embellish!

Quick and easy and ready for those scary Halloween photos!!!

Here is how it works....

*Say thank you and give a link to the presenter of the award

*Share “10 Honest Things” about myself

*Present the award to 9 other bloggers whose blogs I find brilliant in content and/or design or to those who have encouraged me

*Be sure to tell the 9 bloggers chosen that you are giving them the Honest Scrap award and provide the guidelines for them

_____________________________________________________________________________

10 Honest Things-

1. I wanted to be in Fashion Merchandising when I was in High School but when my counselor made me "choose" a profession I chose Nursing. I don't regret it as it has allowed me to work the wonderful hours I do and also work in different areas of the health field.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. My greatest accomplishment in life are my children. I truly believe that my purpose in life was to be their mom. I believe that I was given a child with special needs for a reason. He has changed my life and those of my other children.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. I can't live a day without sitting down and making something. When I don't, I feel "off"!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. I LOVE movies! I know a lot of movie trivia and I love all kinds of movies.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5. I know I am suppose to...but I don't like chocolate or massages! I have never really had that chocolate love that all my friends have and I only like head massages and absolutely NO touching of my feet!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6. I am afraid of getting old alone and yet I have been a single mom for 14 years now so I really can't imagine being with someone either. It's a very strange feeling being stuck between those two emotions.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7. I love to travel and I hope I do it until the day I die! I have so many places on my bucket list that I want to visit. I hope I get to! I so love seeing new places and enjoying other people's worlds.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8. I hate it when my kids are gone every other weekend and holidays. It has never gotten easier over the years and I still cry after they leave. The "downtime" is nice for about a day and then I am done! Please don't ever envy a single parent and their "free" time...it's not that great!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

9. I love how photography makes me feel. I wish you could bottle that feeling up and shower in it when you needed a little pick me up. It just makes me so happy!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10. I love "junk" tv! I can't believe I am admitting this. I watch "Daisy of Love", "Rock of Love", "America's Next Top Model" etc. I also love artsy shows like "Project Runway" "Design Star" and "Top Chef". But my favorite are the comedies like "The Office", "30 Rock", "Parks and Recreation", and "The Soup". Thank God for TiVo!!!

Okay, so now I pick 9 bloggers to send this to! These ladies are women I really admire and love their work. They have also been very supportive to me and I wanted to pass that on!

Published album....

I was so excited to see this little album in the Autumn edition of Somerset Memories! I just used a couple of 5x7 canvas boards, grungeboard, and some clear plastic sheeting, along with some vintage buttons, sheet music, and some of my favorite photos! This project featured heat transferred images onto the canvas board. I was pretty happy with the results! Here are a couple more shots.

Homecoming and a birthday party....

I was so bummed that I couldn't get the day off on Friday to join my Reminisce friends at Scrapfest in Minnesota! I have yet to be able to go to one of these! I am planning WAY ahead next year. But this weekend was full of fun. My youngest had Homecoming and they won their football game by 1 point. He also got all dressed up, picked up his date, and drove them both to the Homecoming dance. I also attended a birthday party this weekend as the photographer for my best friend's grandson's 1st birthday. I had so much fun and it just reminded me how fast time goes by. It seems that not too long ago my youngest was one and now he's 16 driving to Homecoming dances! Here are a few shots from the party!

  And my handsome 16 year old son!

Photo mat album....my Bind-it-all strikes again!

I LOVE my Bind-it-all because it allows me to make albums out of really cool things. This little album I made using three 5x7 photo mats. Two of them I used for the cover. I used a rub-on on clear plastic and adhered it to the back of mat #1. Mat #2 I mounted a piece of patterned paper (pop dotted) to the back of this mat. And then glued these two mats together.The result is a dimensional cover with a cool effect.

The 3rd mat I used for the back cover of the album. The rest of the pages are made of patterned paper, clear plastic, and photos. I used my September Studio Calico kit for this project. Aren't those butterflies just to die for!

Diet Coke goes high tech....and I am digging it! :)

When I saw this video I just knew I had to share it! I so love my DC and am so excited to see the future in soda!! I love everything techno and DC so the union of these two has me quite happy!! Imagine.....100 versions of Coke products at your fingertips!!! I have goosebumps!

Football season is here!!

I love this time of year! Football is in full swing and I love being outside watching my son play! Go Regals!

Heat embossing on fabric....a tutorial!

I thought I would share with you a little tutorial on how to heat emboss on fabric. The result is very cool and you can make your designs using stamps that you already have. if you already know how to heat emboss on paper.... then this is cake!

Supplies: You will need a piece of fabric that you are going to use to wrap around your album cover. I used extra pieces of chipboard for my covers and some heavy duck cloth fabric. Versamark-watermark ink, stamps, embossing powder (I used American Crafts Zing powder), and a heat gun.

First cut your fabric to the size of your project (with some allowance on the edges for folding around your cover). To create a "flat" surface on my stamping glass I used clothes pins to hold my fabric taut! Ink your stamp with Versamark and stamp image onto fabric, apply embossing powder, and heat! (I found that by stamping one image at a time and embossing it right away this helped in a more accurate placement of the image. Since the Versamark is clear it works best to stamp and emboss each image separately especially when stamping multiple images!)

   

Here are a couple of projects using this technique using both light and dark fabric!  And also single and multiple stamped images!

 

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and I hope you will give this technique a try!!

Sheer card mini album...

Head on over to the Maya Road Design Team site for a tutorial on how to make a cute litte mini album using sheer journal cards!! I just love their green leave pins and used them as "trees" on this project!!

Finally....some Studio Calico time!!

I have been so busy that I have neglected my last two months of goodies from Studio Calico! The shame!!!!! Anywoo, here are a couple of layouts from "Over the Rainbow" and "Documentary" kits. I am so glad I decided to join this wonderful kit club. The products are just divine!! Except for my printer totally dying on me (the nerve!) the kids and I have had a very enjoyable and relaxing weekend. It was just beautiful here in the Midwest. I wish it would stay like this everyday!! Have a great week!

Special Olympics golf....Jordan goes for the gold!!!

I {heart} my Bind-it-all!

I have a son with Autism who craves facts and data. So when I found these $1 box of cards at Target listing all the US Presidents and facts and also one on the US states and their facts I knew what to do! I bound them with my Bind-it-all. Now they will all stay together and more importantly...stay in order!! He is also a big collector of postcards from all the places we visit on our vacations. Problem solved there too! I just bound them in order of where we visited and they stay together and he can flip through them and enjoy! There is nothing groundbreaking in these projects but the BIA makes is to easy and simple to keep things together that I thought I would share! This would be a great way to keep flashcards, photos, directions, recipes, etc. together!!

Write.Click.Scrapbook! I am spreading the word......

You simply MUST check out this website. It is so full of creative tips and tricks not to mention inspiration!! It is now on my daily blog stalking circuit! I hope you will add it to yours!! :)

 

Happy 46th Anniversary!

Just wanted to wish my folks a Happy Annivesary today!!!! Love you!!

Maya Mists and fabric....

This is a little fabric album I did for CHA using some cotton (off white) fabric and some Maya Mist. First, I used some Maya Road chipboard letters as masks on the cover of my album and sprayed. All my photos and the words in the album were created in PSE and then printed on inkjet transfer paper and the heat transferred onto the same white fabric and then added to the album. Maya Mist comes in some really cool colors and I love the effect it gives you!

 

Another CHA album....

This little album from Maya Road is a new mini album (classic scroll frame). I covered the entire chipboard album with old sewing patterns using Modge Podge. Lots of MR goodness inside. I even sewed some covers for my binder rings. Metal bobbins were also used on the binder rings to go along with the sewing theme. Fabric was also used to wrap around the MR chipboard flower. Thanks for stopping by!

A CHA album to share....

I am so excited to share this album with you. This was a very technique "heavy" project but I am so happy with how it turned out. I used Maya Road's 5-ring tabbed acrylic album acrylic album. Techniques include fabric strips adhered to acrylic using heat-n-bond, "stitching" on acrylic with fabric strips and DMC floss, adhesive backed photos printed on transparencies and applied on acrylic. The buttons are also stitched onto the acrylic using my handy dandy drill to make the holes! I wanted to keep the transparent feel of the acrylic album so I chose to use transparent photos. I also used some photo transfers onto fabric for some of the other pages! I have never made it to CHA yet but hope to one of these years! I am just excited that my projects got to go!!! If you are going....have a great time and stop by the Maya Road booth to see the DT's incredible projects!

Stitching on acrylic tutorial is up at Maya Road!

Today my tutorial on stitching on acrylic is up here! Be sure to stop by Maya Road and see all the new releases for CHA in the new full catalog!! You can see that here! So much goodness coming your way!! I do so love Maya Road!! :)

Here is a sneak peek of one of my CHA projects using the stitching on acrylic technique! Have a great weekend everyone!

A Scrapbook Trends toot!!

I am so excited to see my Maya Road "Harley album" was featured on page 78 in the newest release of Scrapbook Trends Mini Albums magazine!! My good friend Katie Watson has two incredible albums in this issue as well! What a good way to end a crazy week!!
