Made from Cardstock and a Heart Explosion Template


I made this scrapbook from cardstock, it opens as a tri-fold album and is dedicated to my parents.




Flip Flop Album



I got the idea for this from a Close To My Heart catalog and just had to make one.  Yes, they're made from real flip flops.

Small Scrapbook from Cardstock




I got the instructions for this album online somewhere. It's done in a 3 x 3 format. I put photos of my flowers in it.  It says "flowers" on each square.









Junk Mail Scrapbook




This album was made from some junk mail that I got years ago.  It was a small box that had a CD inside.   I trashed all the interior of it and made it into a scrapbook.  It had a magnetic closure already, which is why I couldn't throw it away.

Top Notes Scrapbook




This album was made with the top note die from Stampin up.

Deck of cards scrapbook...




This mini-album was made from a deck of cards.  I put some of my favorite scriptures on each one.

Some of my "old" mini-albums

Just for fun, I decided to show you all some of my old mini-albums.  Hope you enjoy looking. 

Embellishments from Menards!

I found these fun embellishments at Menards for using on mini-albums.

Here I begin to "Use it Up"! Yeah!

What I bought at Michaels tonight!

Project Ideas and Techniques printed out from the internet - Gotta love it!

These are the piles of project ideas and techniques that I had to sort through.  Now I'll put them in binders, one for techniques, one for projects and one for ideas.  Pfeww!  It will be nice to have them organized and easy to sort through.

Organizing

I've been organizing all the piles of ideas that I've collected over the years.  I've gotten them from the CTMH website, Splitcoast Stampers, and all kinds of other sites.   I figure that if they're organized I might actually do the techniques and make the projects.  The projects are all things that I wanted to make in the first place.  Christmas is coming and I suppose I can make alot of gifts from the ideas.  What a great way to use it up!  I'll be posting photos and videos soon of what I make. 

Also, as a side note, I went to Michaels tonight to pick up a couple things that I needed.  I didn't get any paper, but I did pick up some embellishments and two really cool stamps,  I'll show you what I got later.  Sometimes, I just can't help myself.
