Scrapbooking Pages I Made in May

I have been loving my new scrapbooking space!

Having all these new pages, papers, embellishments and accessories has gotten me very excited about scrapbooking again and I created quite a few pages this month.  I finally finished off all the photos from 2017 and have set aside photos to begin scrapping for 2018.



At the rate I've been going I'll have the boys scrapbooks all caught up by the time we leave on our next family vacation in the fall.

I put together a few Halloween pages:




and finished up our Tampa, Florida trip.




I just love this two page spread for the beach.



And I finished off our year with one last Christmas page.

    What fabulous pages! Isn't it fun to have your own crafting space? I use to do this type of scrapbooking, now I do the digital kind.

      I love it! Every time I think of going digital I'm gifted more supplies that spur me on.

    I always love these posts! Makes me want to get back into scrapbooking so bad! I just don't have the time anymore! Your kiddos are going to love looking back on all of these one day.

      I sure hope they enjoy looking back. I have so much fun making them but I am not really doing it for myself.

    These are gorgeous! I've been a scrapbooker for years and years and now do mostly digital (even hiring out to do digital scrapbooking for people now). So I really appreciate the time and effort all these pages take. Beautiful job. It's such a gift to give yourself and your family something that actually INCREASES in value over time!! :)

    These are so cute, and they will be so treasured for years to come. I used to do a lot of scrapbooking and would love to do more now. My kids are in their '20s now, and they love to look at the scrapbooks from when they were growing up.

      I hope that one day either my boys or their wives or perhaps their kids will enjoy looking through them as I seem to be the only one that looks through them now. I do enjoy it so much though that I don't really care if they're getting used.

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Image
Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mai...

Things That Make Me Laugh

Image
I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my ...

Making Gift Card and Money Holders Using Scrapbooking and Cardmaking Supples

Image
I don't tend to keep a lot of crafting supplies on hand so when I saw this month's de-stash challenge I wasn't sure what I was going to make.  I finally realized that with so many of my Christmas gifts being cash and gift cards this year that I needed to make up some fun paper crafting/ creative ways to gift them.   I still want my nieces and nephews to have something to open so I pulled out my papers and stamps and made up some cute little money/gift card holders. They were much easier to make than I thought.  The first one I worked on was to hold some oversized Nintendo gift cards.  I made a standard sized card and folded down one corner of the card front.  Then I ran my double sided tape along the bottom an 1/2 way up the side creating a cute little pocket.  Finally I added some cute embellishments and ribbons.   Voila! A simple and easy gift card holder for those larger sized gift cards.  The bulk of the tweens and teens on my list j...

Making a Sugar Cookie "Gingerbread" House

Image
 Alec really wanted to try making his own gingerbread house this year without using a premade kit.  We talked about how we never really eat the house since they don't taste very good.  Years ago we gave up on the frosting that comes in the kit and began making our own so we thought perhaps we should try making our our house too. Only problem is that no one in the house likes gingerbread.  We talked about trying to make the house using a sugar cookie recipe.  Alec was so excited at that idea since he just LOVES sugar cookies.   He found a recipe online for a simple sugar cookie recipe and mixed up the dough.  He rolled it out an cut it to the size of our cookie sheets-- we had read that it's easiest to cut the house pieces out after the dough has been baked and is still warm and soft because then you don't have to worry about any of the pieces losing their shape while baking. I had picked out a simple cookie cutter set on Amazon and as soon as the ...
