Chesney wordbook

 

Here is one of the wordbooks that I made for my friend Toni, for her niece. It is one of my first ones that I started making around the end of November. Some of the books I made with either cereal boxes, or I used heavy cardstock and doubled them, and with the paper, they were quite sturdy..this is one of my favorite ones.

My Livingroom Wall Art

Here is my first attempt at wallart using my Cricut and Vinyl. I did this a few months ago, when I got my vinyl. I was so excited to just play with it, that a just randomly did sizes and fonts and put them on the wall..as you will notice, not very straight. But it's ok, because it is removable and eventually we are going to repaper my livingroom.

Class 1-11-09

So here's the teachers page. I got to show the girls possible ways to do their pages, and you know what, after I looked at their pages later, I got some other ideas on how to put my page together...so heres' the finished page, just waiting for the pictures to be placed on them. Isn't Scraplifing fun:)the freedom to see a layout and then make it your own.
See you next week, same place same time.

January Page layout done with George Cart and Design Studio

Tonights class was so much fun. We had two new scrappers, they aren't actually new to scrapping but new to our class. It is so neat to see how each one chose their own papers and even though we basically made the same layout, they all turned out differently, either by how they layed out their design, or how they inked or chalked, or drew. I was so pleased with all of their pages...they sure do make me look good as the instructor.
Our first layout is from Bev Schools, this was her first night...and I think she had a great time and we enjoyed having her. Bev chose colors that really impressed us, because we never thought that it would look as good as it did..it never would've been our pick for this page, but you be the judge. Great job Bev!

 

Our next layout was done by our veteran, Gloria Fitzpatrick. I had pulled out some of the papers I had, and this one caught her eye, she then started pulling out some of her stash of paper and this is the color scheme that she came up with. Great layout Gloria!

 

Tonight was Jane Fitzpatricks first night with us. I hope we didn't overwhelm her:) I think she did really well, her choice of colors were really impressive. Everyone liked her color scheme and she did a really nice job on her layout.

 

This is another veterans layout, Toni Hetherington's. She went on working while everyone else was picking up and came out with her own 2 page layout. Toni takes a lot of pictures of her little boy Chandler, who I must say is the most adorable little guy ever..I'm not predjudice or anything...I just watch him (I'm the babysitter) Toni's layout, we called it the "dirty" layout..she used the dark brown chalk to "pop" her edges. Nice job Toni.

 

Since we didn't have enough time to do our card for the night..we are going to be having a contest. Each person was given a card template and envelope, and they are to design a card "Thinking of You" which will be posted on my blog next week and the one who receives the most votes will win a little stamp set. I thought this would be fun to see what they come up with. So be watching to see what these girls create.

Tonights project was done using both Design Studio and the George Cartride, Pooh Cart, and Christmas Cheer. Also, the title was done in SCAL.

Next Thursday I will be giving a class on Design Studio for those who would like to attend. The cost is $10 for about a 2 hour class. If you have questions, please email me @ dimahi@verizon.net and I will make sure I have answers for you when you come that night. If you have DS on your laptops, you may want to bring them with you.

Organizing in 2009

So on January 2nd, I spent the whole day organizing my scrap/craft/office so that I could find my stuff, plus not have it all over the place and in one spot. I ended up doing some unorthodox organizing...if you can tell, the two shelves are actually laying on their side. I found that if they were sideways, then they could hold my 12x12's and I also left out one of the dividers on the cubby shelf, so it could also hold my 12x12. On the first shelves, I have my basic cardstocks and on the other shelves are patterned paper. I also have 3 drawer units that old, punches, stamps, scissors and tapes and adhesives, I have totes that hold ink pads, chalk, embossing powder, ribbons etc. So much better than the before...I should've taken a picture of the before shot..it was bad, plus my washer leaked due to our sewer line being plugged, and it went through the wall and into my room, so I had water all over my floor.
