A Compilation

2008-12-30T21:10:00.000-08:00

I have been trying to catch up on the girls albums and I am just now starting 2006! YEAH!
Here are some of the pages that I have done recently that I really like!! My in-laws got a Cricut for me for Christmas and I am so excited to be able to cut out more and DO more with my pages!

This page I cut out and made the grilled cheese sandwich and the sippy cup. I am funny... to get a realistic bite mark I bit down on the paper and then cut from my teeth marks! Talk about being precise!!

A Wonderful Email Reply

I sent an email to Holly Fossen (see the previous post) because I wanted her to see my completed pages from the class that I took with her. I was so excited to receive her reply:

Holly,

Thank you so much for the wonderful class that you taught on Friday morning! I thoroughly enjoyed your instruction and your bubbly personality.

For the most part my scrapbooking is for my daughters (Jamie Grace age 8 and Samantha Jeanne age 5) and I have done albums for friends and family. This class gave me the opportunity to do a layout for myself. I talked with you after the class and showed you my project. I was just seen by my doctors and given my 5 year clearance this week to be cancer free. I knew that this would be my project. Here is the finished work and also a picture of us.

Thank you for starting out the convention (for me) on a VERY memorable note!

Take care,

Julie Mullen

Check out GCD Studios... I really enjoyed using the products for these to pages!

Creating Keepsakes Convention Class: "Celebrating A Life"

The first class that I took at CKC was called "Celebrating A Life" with Holly Fossen. She does a lot of Scrapbooking shows on HSN.

Here is the finished work and also a picture of Holly and I.

Doing these two pages was so wonderful for me. It was such a release too see truely how far I have come and I am so blessed. I am so thankful for my doctors, my family & everyone who supported me during this journey.

Recipe Card

2008-07-30T08:23:00.000-07:00

I made 20 6x6 recipe cards for the Paper Crafts Recipe Class at the Creating Keepsakes Convention in Valley Forge this weekend. They turned out better than I thought they would! They are the same recipe but look so different with the different patterned paper!

Instructions:
I traced a teacup journaling template and then scanned it into my computer. I then typed out the ingredients on the teacup. I typed the title of the recipe and then printed them on 20 different patterned papers. I then typed out the directions and glued them to a scrap piece of the 6x6 (it was originally an 8x8) then cut and folded the top to make it look like a teabag. I printed out a teapot, cut it out & pasted it on the card to look like it was pouring into the teacup & made a tag for the teabag then stapled it to a string and glued it on!
