My Scrapbooking Blog

I’ve added pictures and wanted to share the completed project.  All details in this post.

Here’s another shelf I have that I recently reorganized:

Well, I guess this is what you do when you have an overabundance of supplies….  I have wanted to do this for a long time and finally got around to decorating these cute plastic jars by Making Memories.  They would also be great for decorating and adding candy for a nice little gift.  The first shelf is Making Memories as well and is one of my favorite purchases from Crop Chocolate.  I love the spots for photos on the drawers.  It adds a personal feel.  You could also use these to add a label of what’s inside the drawer.  The second shelf was a great rummage sale find.  I just love to have things look so pretty in my creative space.  It is much more inspiring!

BEFORE:

AFTER:

Products used: Coasters, Making Memories Simply Stated Expressions rubons, American Crafts MiniMarks rubons, Kelly Panacci rubons, and Heidi Swapp rubons.

For some reason, lighting or their shiny surface, these did not photograph very well but it gives you the general idea.  I found this coaster set at Target for a Christmas gift.  After adding the pictures I just thought they looked PLAIN.  So…I made them my own by adding rubons to them.  I am pleased with them and I hope the recipient enjoys them as well.

The December Stamp of the Month is Notice the Details.  There are 41 stamps in this set, including small numbers that work great for dates.

Here is my project using this stamp set:

Products used are all CTMH: My Creations 3-Ring Binder, Notebook Level 2 Paper Pack, Notebook Stickease, Desert Sand ink, Love Flourishes stamp set, and Notice the Details stamp set.

Once again this was a hard stamp set for me to use.  Vintage is really not my style at all so this is very different for me but I am extremely happy with the outcome.  The stamp of the month was perfect with the Notebook papers.  I sponged Desert Sand ink on the binder (inside and out).  The pink paper on the outside of the binder is wrapped around the spine and covers the back.  I used a generous amount of adhesive using my ATG gun to ensure a firm hold.

Now go to Dawn’s Blog to continue with the blog hop!  If you get lost along the way there is a list of all the participants in this post.

Now I know it’s not Christmastime yet but it will be here before we know it!  Here is a fun and quick banner that you can make to hang over your mantle or anywhere else in your house.  We made this at the CTMH Convention and it is super cute.  We used the My Originals Around the Holidays Card Kit.  We used the new Posterboard Alphabet for the letters but you could use any alphabet.  The sparkles add a nice touch.  You can also change it to any six letter word, or a shorter word, or add a decorative piece on the end.  If you wanted to add a little more to it, you could decorate the back in fall colors and embellishments and you’d have a  reversible banner.  One word you could use for this would be ‘Thanks’.  Below are some closeups of the individual card pieces.
