March 30, 2007 On Fridays I am going to think of something I can do for someone else, and share it with everyone here. Today I was totally excited to get my comment links actually working like everyone else's do. And not too long after they gotta workin' I received a message from Karla saying that she loved the idea of tearing photos... well, this friday is for her........ Karla, I wanted to share another layout with you to encourage you in the tearing of your photos. I know it is a scary thing, but only at first, after you do it you will realize it is a great and easy time saver. Here I tore the edges then inked them black for more of a timeless distressed look to go with the wrought iron in the photos. Suggestions: Practice both tearing and inking on a "junk" photo first to get the feel of the photo paper opposed to regular paper. If you are inking your photos edges, be sure to leave time to let them dry so the ink does not get all over the place. And if you have never torn before follow my lead... start at the top right corner (top left I think if you are left handed) and work your way down slowly, always tearing towards yourself. Have fun. I gotta run!
March 29, 2007 This layout totally shows some of my favorite things all in one place. I love a simple clean look, sewing, metal, acrylic paint, my cricut, some good stamps and I love tearing my photos, it gives a nice alternative to photo matting. I also think RED is my "happy color". Of coarse there are a lot more things tickle my fancy as far as scrapbooking goes, but I will share more next week, be sure to join me, and leave me a comment with your link so I can see how you are ticklish. hehehehe.
March 6, 2007 I have been quite behind on my Scrapping for Others work. My dear husband says I should stop waiting till the last minute to do things, but my response is always that I am taking a break to get some rest, but then after I get the "rest" I have to cram :o). And here are some of the layouts from the memorial album I delivered to a friend of mine as a sympathy gift for his wife Lila passing away a year ago of Cancer.
I also set up about 114 photos into 12x12 layout form to get ready to review them and take comments on them with my client tomorrow.
March 2, 2007 These albums make a great gift, this particular album is not only the first one I have ever made, but it is also a gift for my in-laws as a welcome home... they moved to Maui under two years ago, and they just got back two days ago. If you want to learn how to make a fun altered paper bag album like the one above, click the picture above, thank you.
March 1, 2007 Hey Everyone! I'm going to a party, and you're invited too! Now here is what I have done to prepare for the party :o) I baked some very yummy Peanut Butter Cookies! My husband and I agree that we do not like peanut butter cookies, but we like these, I also like them because the are fast and easy to make. Here is the recipe out of my Better Homes and Gardens Cook Book (11th Edition)... 2. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in additional sugar to coat. Place balls 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten by making crisscross marks with a fork. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 7 to 9 minutes or till bottoms are lightly browned.
