Twilight Tag



Here's my tag for my Twilight tag swap I'm hosting on my blog. I loved the "Prom" scene when he's right about to kiss her and then after says" Is it not enough just to have a long happy life with me? I also love the song "Flightless Bird, American Mouth" playing in the background. I can listen to that song over and over again. I wanted to capture that scene on my tag. I can't wait til the New Moon tag swap.

Cards for Claudia

I was sadden when I first heard of Claudia's loss of her husband. The first thing I thought to myself where her six children. One can never expect something as devastating as losing your beloved one. I met Claudia through You Tube and she's the sweetest lady ever. My heart goes out to her and her children. When I watched Jade's(YouTube Jadedstudios) video and seen what a sweetheart she was to put this fundraiser together to raise money for Claudia. With everything going on, I wasn't sure if I was able to complete the cards on time. Then, Natalie and I had watched Jade's second video and Natalie said to me, "Mom, I want to make cards for Claudia". If you only knew how touched I was. Natalie as you probably known her as "keeponscrappin" on YouTube hasn't done any paper crafting in months. I couldn't even sleep that night because I was SO excited and touched. I knew then, I had to make time to create these cards for Claudia. We worked on our cards all morning. We each had to create ten of the same cards then send it to Jade. Once she receives all the cards, she will then take a card from each person and create a pack of ten cards and post them for sale on her blog. Thank you so much Jade for putting this together. Please be sure to stop by her blog and purchase a set of cards.

Bieber Fever Layout

Here I created a layout of the girls at the Justin Bieber Concert we had gone to last weekend. For the banner I used My Favorite Things Die-namics Banner Day Die to create the Bieber Banner. Also using the Die-namics Jumbo Scallop Die, I created a border below the photo. The Banner Day Die is one of my favorite dies to create projects with.

Altered Pencil Box

I altered a pencil box to hold all my handmade flowers that were given from all the gorgeous RAKS I received from all the wonderful ladies I met on YouTube. I used
Baby Bump Ribbons from My Favorite Things ribbon collection.

Justin Bieber Concert

What a FUN night we had. The girls had such a blast and I couldn't believe how close we were. My sister Rachel and I were dancing all night. His opening act was Sean Kingston which was really fun. When Justin was singing in the metal cage , he was literally right above our heads and he even had given eye contact to my niece Alyssa 4 times. heehee She was so excited, she couldn't stop talking about it. We always enjoy taking our girls to these concerts. It always brings us such joy to see how happy and excited they are. We love you girls. GO Bieber Fever!!!!

Double Quilted Fabric Mini Album

Here's a mini I created using double faced quilted fabric. Ever since my mom gave me a quick lesson on sewing, I've been using Ariana's sewing machine quite often. I used my Stampin Up! scallop square die and sewn all around each square. I then hot glued all the pages together with my glue gun. You can create a quick and fun mini with fabric.

Fabric Journal

I just love Fabric Art Journals. My mom was so sweet and had sewn this fabric journal for me with some of my favorite fabrics she had in her sewing room. She has this really nice sewing/embroidery machine that I would love to one day have. Its so fun going to my mom's because not only does she have her own sewing room, but she also has her own scrapbooking room....now that's heaven. heehee I just loved how it turned out and decided to add the dress form tags that I received from Marie on a swap that I joined which she hosted on her blog. Since the journal was made of fabric, it fit perfect with the dress form tags. Thank you mom for the beautiful journal,Marie for hosting a great swap and ladies for the gorgeous tags.

Sweet Girl Vintage Mini Album

Here's a mini I created for one of my dearest friend, Kristina. Her daughter Saige is so adorable. I wanted to use black and white photos to go with the Vintage feel of the mini album. I used a Kaiser Craft Tabbed Journal album with October Afternoon Thrift Shop and Fly a Kite Collection. I had a great time making this mini.

Hair Accessories

I just love it when my girls wear accessories on their hair. It just adds that special touch to their faces and I adore it so much. I wanted to create some accessories for my niece Alyssa and my girls with my favorite embellishments.





Here's my video showing how to create these.
