St. Paddy's Day

We can't forget those shamrocks and green beer!! So sad that Rusty Pickle is closing their doors but I did get some of their "Lucky" paper awhile back and made a mini book. There is still lots in Colleen's store if you need to get 'green'!

It's Time For A New Look

And just in time for Valentine's Day too!! I've been working on a project with some of my all time favorite papers... Basic Grey's Bittersweet Rocky Road, Blushing Pink and Praline! I took a CI Beverly Heart Book and cut it apart then covered it with paper and embellished it... here's what I made:

Here's what I started with...

and a few close ups! The album and all paper is available here... http://www.dragonflyscrapbooking.com/shopping.html

Working on A Valentine!

Well... it's been awhile since I've posted I see... I am working on a Valentines project now... Colleen has lots of those nice white chipboard heart albums... if you want some ideas, check out my post from last Valentines - there are a couple of different ideas there. I am using the same album but it is going to be different so stay tuned!!

Oops... I forgot to post this. It's of Christmas 2007... finally! I love those big red flowers Colleen has in a huge big jar so I made use of two of them for the embellishment on this DVD tin... and the bottle cap too! The little cardstock album inside still needs a little work but this is basically what it will still look like when done!

A New Year...

and maybe a few new projects! I am busy getting my scrap room organized - I have some ideas to try out with some of the new goodies Santa left for me so stay tuned!

I Love Altering!

Here is a clock I've just finished (have to get the 'jobs' done before I can play with my new dies!). I have had this paper stashed for a long time because I love it so much but how much can a person have eh... it was time to pull it out and make something! So, I bought a really cheap clock - got some supplies from Colleen's store and away I went... here is the finished clock.

Has Anyone Been Spoiled

We've been shopping and I just have to say... I have found the perfect set of dies for me!! I spoiled myself but since I do make a lot of mini albums I thought of all the gifts I could make to actually save money... ha ha ha... (it will take awhile to make it pay off!) so for all you album makers out there, here it is!



I have been working on a travel album for my daughter who recently spent a month in Italy backpacking with a friend. It is still in the works but here's a sneak peek... (the paper is available in the store and is great to work with!) I hope she doesn't check this blog because it will be her Christmas gift!



And, if anyone is looking for some of the Basic Grey page kits I think Colleen has some at the store although I don't know if she has posted them on the site - so just give her a call or email her (before I get there and buy some more... ha ha ha!) For a peek at them check out one of my previous posts... I've still got to finish the last one then I'll upload the ones that I haven't posted yet.

So... I bought some june bug...

I'm not usually into using bright papers and was a little intimidated by this paper line but once I got using it... WOW... I love it! It's time to come out of the box and try some new things I think so there will definately be more layouts and maybe even some mini albums done with this paper.

This layout is a little subdued on account of the lighting in this room... all the papers are double-sided and there are some bright sides that's for sure!

I am a Basic Grey lover and lucky me got a peek at the September and October page-of-the-month kits... all I can say is LET ME AT THEM!!
