Updated Scrapbook Room

This is a tour of my newly organized scrapbook room! If you would like to see what it looked like at our old house, please check out my last room tour here.
The other side of this room is my mom's sewing room. She still has to get it all organized and set up, but let me know if you are interested in seeing that when she is finished!

Thanks for watching!

80th birthday Card

This is a card that I made for my grandma for her 80th birthday, wow right? I wish so much that I could be with her on her special day but we live 2 provinces apart. My mom was lucky enough to be able to fly down this weekend but I just couldn't take the time off of school. It is so hard being so far away from such important people sometimes... Anyway, Grandma I love you! have a very special day!
I used my new Tim stamps for this card from his Haberdashery set, love them!
My Gramndma actually gave me these buttons from her own sewing stash, I have a hard time using them because they are so special but I think she is worth it! :P The "80" was made from plain chipboard which I painted with guesso, inked, perfect pearled and crackle painted! The photo does not do the texture justice.
I added some stiching across the many layers to add to the sewing theme. The orange library card is an actual "vintage" piece.
Thanks for visiting, hope your enjoyed the card!

My Home Made Smash Journal Video!

Just uploaded this today but it was filmed back in the summer. I know a lot of you are very into the whole smash journal thing and for those of you who aren't, I highly recomend it! The idea of "smashing" everyday thoughts and findings really appeals to me and it is so fun too!

Thanks for watching!

Paris Mini Album

Please watch my youtube video for more explanation and details!
As you can see, I have been very neglectful to my poor blog over the last few months. I have been in my first year of university, working, and playing ringette. I also try my best to balance my time with my wonderful boyfriend and all my other wonderful friends. This leaves very little time for other things such as my blog! Anyway, I can't promise that I will get any better, but I do enjoy your wonderful feedback both here and on youtube. Thanks for sticking with me! This album is all about Paris! I finally got around to scrapping some of my pictures from my trip back in spring of 2011. I used the 7 Gypsies chipboard covers and used my new Cinch to bind the whole thing. Hope you like it!

Here I used a keychain that I got on the trip. I removed the key ring and simply used the already attached jump ring.

This album turned out very thick! I didnt add very many embelishments because I knew I wanted to have a ton of photos! I used 1 inch Cinch binding but the album is much thicker than that.

One of my favourite pages, used my ancient DYMO label maker for the title.

I used several trimmed-down 4x6 images as full pages because the album covers are slightly smaller than that.

I did some stamping throughout the mini using TH distress inks.

Here I cut the photo and used it horizontally as 2 pages. (I love this Cathedral!!)

Thank you for visiting the blog, again, please check out my video! :D

walls

No, I have not disappeared off the face of the earth! I am still here but living a very busy life now that I am well into University (midterm coming up tomorrow!), Ringette and work. I cannot promise anything post-wise because I havent even had time to do any crafting in the last couple months. I do have some older stuff yet to share but we will see if that ever happens! This is an art journal page from awhile back, hope you like it!
