Summer is winding down, school is back in session, and the days are getting shorter and cooler. To celebrate these last couple weeks of summer, I put together this Flip Flop Mini Album.
I love the colors and flowers, and the chipboard accents and journaling blocks. Okay, I love everything about it. I think it truly captures the feel of the beach for me.
You can see all the pictures of the project here. I still need to add the step-by-step instructions, and I’ll be adding a supply list too, so look for that soon.
But for now, grab a pair of flip-flops, some fun, summery paper, and get scrappin’.
I’ve been busily reconstructing the blog, adding past projects like the October ’08 mini album to the left, and relinking some posts, as well as adding a new header and trying to reconstruct my links and banners.
It’s a long process, but I’m having fun rediscovering the projects I did nearly two years ago. You can check out some of them by clicking on the Projects tab above. I still have to include the instructions and supplies list (I hope I remember what I used on each project!), but you can enjoy the pictures in the meantime.
While I was digging in my files for pictures of the projects, I discovered several individual layouts that I had included in my early posts, so I think I’ll add a Layouts tab, too, and get those posted soon.
Still lots to do, but at least I’m back in business! Tomorrow I’ll be posting my latest mini album which celebrates the last weeks of summer.
I finally got my blog rebuilt, at least partially, after it was hacked many, many months ago. I hadn’t backed it up, so when it was hacked, I thought all was lost. Well, to my happy surprise, a few days ago I found an old backup in a folder on the computer. Unfortunately, it only [...]
I had to share these layouts that I did at the end of last week. I made them for Cathy Z’s Design Your Life class, and after following the prescribed template, I found that I just couldn’t “bling” them. I like them just the way they are–unadorned. Each time I tried to add an embelishment [...]
Thanks for joining me here on my new blog. This is where I’ll continue to share my designs as well as awesome scrapbooking resources. And who knows, maybe a business will be born here too. I hope you come back often (psst, subscribe to the RSS feed) and leave your thoughts and stories. I would love [...]
About a month ago, a challenge was put to the scrapbooking community to scrap a day in their lives. Well, I got me one of those cute little scrapbooks you saw on all the blogs but, instead of scrapping just one day, decided to fill it with pictures taken during the month of October and give it to my [...]
For the last 2 months I have been having a ball playing with my scrap stash, but I decided to go back to digi land. The assignments for Cathy Z’s class lend themselves perfectly to digi, and I was scanning some old photos anyway. Well, here’s my layout. I’m actually not in these photos. This [...]
I was all prepared to share a mini album I’ve been working on. But then I read a comment on one of my recent posts by an incredible artist named Natalia. I don’t know who Natalia is, and I don’t know if she’s an actual artist by profession, but after visiting her blog and spending [...]
I finally found a little time to work on my homework for Cathy Z’s Design Your Life class at Big Picture Scrapbooking. I thought I was just a week behind, but when I reviewed the lessons, I realized I hadn’t even started Week 1! I was still on the Prework! That’s what I get for [...]
I had an awesome time in KC. I took several classes and even did the Saturday night crop. It was really nice to hang out with my sister, too, since we don’t do a lot of things together. But of course, the best part of the weekend was meeting my all-time favorite designer, Cathy Zielske. [...]
