Hiding In My Craft Room #119, Super Scraps Saturday!

I was going to post this Saturday, but I wasn't able to get to it until today! I had a craft boutique yesterday at the local women's club and went out afterward to celebrate my birthday (which is next Wednesday).  So I am posting this as a "Super Scraps Sunday"!

Freckled Fawn was kind enough to send lots of goodies to our design team members to incorporate into our challenge for this week's Super Scraps Challenge!  Check out their website:

Here is a shot of their new October Release!

I created a mini-album using three of Freckled Fawn's adorable metal flower embellishments.  They look so cute in next to the wooden Eiffel Tower emblem and the vintage Paris style papers that I had left over from another project.  Thanks for looking!

Scrap Party for Greenbrook Elementary

We had our scrap party for the Greenbrook Elementary auction fundraiser this Saturday. It was a fun and the eleven 2nd grade girls that came had a blast making their scrapbooks.

Here is the scrapbook I made as an example:

It was made out of handled paper bags and looked like a purse when it's closed. So cute! 

Here's a photo of the girls holding their scrapbooks at the party. They were so proud!

Here are some of the shots I took of the girls' scrapbooks as they worked on them:

It was a great party! I had a blast and I think they did too! 

Thanks for looking!

Name Signs Galore! And Much Much More!

I've been super busy making name signs for customers on ETSY! I would love to share a few of them for you here:

I have also been making some fun projects on the side. Check them out!

These were zipper pulls for the kids' backpacks that I made to use for the party favors for my son's birthday party. He loves the Skylanders video game and there aren't many things available with that theme. So I made them myself, of course!

Then, there were my daughter's (Stephanie's) birthday party bags:

She had a Hello Kitty theme. These were the prototypes. Here are the ones I actually used:

Then there were the owl themed party bags and thank you notes for 24 of my 2 year old niece's (Lyla's)

closest friends;)

My sister-in-law, Becca, helped me assemble the bags. Thanks Becca!

Let's not forget the cub scouts now shall we?

This is my son, Bradley, and husband, Matt, posing behind the banner I made.  It says, "Tiger Pride" and features a really cute tiger die cut in the middle!

Now let's see, what else did I make recently?

Oh yeah, I designed a scrapbook made out of handled paper bags! This little album features the lovely Carly and her BFF's! I designed it for the art auction at my son's school. I'll be teaching some kids how to make this at my auction class coming up in April!

I also made some cards for some of my Etsy customers to thank them for their business!

Hope you enjoyed looking and are inspired to make some paper crafts yourself!
