Sure way to have fun scrapbooking . . .

Had a total blast as guest designer on Scrapbooks.com this month. Here's what they do - you've GOTTA visit and try it! Every month they have weekly challenges - if you participate in one of these challenges you have a chance to become a guest designer for the following month. You get a credit to their awesome store and create a layout for one of the challenges with the design team. It was so much fun!

I created layouts for 2 of the challenges this month and here's my first one. The theme was "Strip Tease!" and the challenge was to use strip paper.

Used Scenic Route strip paper and chipboard circle. The tag and outer circle are Creative Cafe. Ribbon is American Crafts. There's some Basic Grey rubons on the big pic - hard to see here.

I created that layout at my friend Karen's house. I cropped with Karen, her sister Sara, and friend Michelle. Had soooo much fun and came home soooo inspired. Hope to see those guys soon!


Have a creative week! And if you're looking for fun and inspiration, stop by Scrapbooks.com and join in one of the challenges there!

Two Frames = One Cute Album

Here's a basic idea that can be used to create a cute little album.


Take two little frames and use one for an album front cover and the other for the album back cover. Make accordian pages for the middle of the album and attach each end of the accordian to a frame. Viola! Instant album. Instant cuteness!


Here's one I made of our vacation to Rhode Island:

The frames are Making Memories tin frames.
Since I love to use a 'good idea' over and over again, you can bet I'll be making a lot of these in the future!

Have a great week!
