Crazy Ladies Craft Night

My friend Cathy over at http://scrappincatscreativeendeavors.blogspot.com/ showed me the planner she made and I knew I had to make one. So, when it came time for our next craft night I decided to make these since the holidays are around the corner. The crazy ladies and I set out to make these and thru much trial and error and laughter, finally succeeded. We used a manila file folder, but you can also use a school pocket folder that doesn't have the binder tabs in it. We used a variety of Christmas papers, but you can use stamps, or whatever you like to decorate. 

Here is the inside. It holds different planning and organizing documents. These were found on OrganizedChristmas.com.  I will be offering a class on making these in November as well. Contact me for more information. 

Christmas Star Book Mini Album

Hi! I'm back with another fun project. It's actually not a new project as I did several of these albums for the craft fair I participated in earlier this month. This one however was done with only Stampin'Up! products and paper. The inside pages were stamped and sponged and I love the way it turned out! I used the Christmas Cheer Scrapbook kit and the Serene Snowflakes Stamp set.  Also used were Bashful Blue, Very Vanilla, and Marina Mist papers.

 These are just a few of the pages. I can't wait to put my own pictures in this one, it's for me! I will be offering a class on making these wonderful gifts in November. You can check out my schedule on my SU website www.thecrazystamplady.stampinup.net.

 There are stickers that come in the scrapbook kit too.

 The additional embellishments are easy and fun to put together.

This is my favorite part of the book, the pockets with tags. When I was finished I sprayed the whole book with Shimmer Spray. You can't see it in these pics but these pages sparkle/shimmer. Thanks for letting me share! Let me know if you are interested in taking the class.

Tea Time...

Last weekend, my dear friend Jill invited me to a tea party.  "A tea party! What fun!" I replied with an enthusiastic YES! Little did I know how much fun it would be. Not only did Jill set a fabulous table but she had the most scrumptious tea sandwiches, crumpets, scones, and a lovely apple tart. I immediately felt special just walking in and seeing the table set to the nines! She had invited a few other ladies that she had previously worked with and a new friend she had recently made as well. Little did I know that her new friend was the one serving us all the delicious teas. Let me tell you....these were no ordinary teas. We had so many teas.....Lavender, Rose, and even chocolate...yes, CHOCOLATE....OMG!! Can you say YUMMMM! I've never tasted so many delicious teas and the lovely ladies that Jill invited were so much fun to talk to as was Jill and Lisa! The party broke up about 2 1/2 hours after it began but Lisa, Jill, and I stayed and talked, and talked, and talked. It was the most fun I'd had in a long time. I just wanted to say thanks to Jill for making me feel really special and sharing your special friends with me! Here's a picture of what her table looked like.
