Accents & Elements Scrap Tin

So I was supposed to have a Craftin' with TLC night but never got around to a project.  However I myself did do some craftin'.  Not only will I be a vendor this year but my best friend volunteered us to run our church Holiday Craft Fair this year. SO that means I need to get busy. 
I found this project on splitcoast & just LOVED it.  With the help of my husband (he's so wonderful) he made me see how easy it was to actually put together.  You see I'm a visual step-by-step learner but have been getting pretty good at looking at just a picture & figuring it all out.  This will be one of the items I'll be making to sell.  Hope you enjoy & keep an eye out b/c this could be an upcoming class ;-)
Thanx 4 lookin' & Happy Craftin'

 This is the Accents & Elements Tin (empty) that is available to purchase while supplies last on the clearance rack.  I used the old Island Blossoms Simply Scrappin' Kit, which was a hostess item, some soft subtles & rich regals brads, stampin' dimensionals, snail & sticky strip.

As you can see I kept this VERY simple since it will be the sample one shown at the fair.  You could go crazy with adding all sorts of embelishments.

There are a total of 8 inserts, 4 on each side & can hold 18 wallet sized photos.

If this is a class you & some friends would be interested in taking please contact me & we can set something up!

Pirate Party Kit #116213 pg175 for $9.99

First Day of School ~ 8x8 Chipboard Album

Hello out there, I hope this post finds you welcoming the fall like weather with great joy! I don't know about you but I LOVE the fall. I know it's technically not fall until Sept. 21 but it sure feels like it. Now that my daughter is in school I truly can remember what it was like growing up. Weird how those memories come to the surface once we have children. So I'd like to share a few photos of Deb on her first day of preschool (she's in the 4's class this yr) WOW!

For all u mom's out there to girls, Hannah Montanna seems to be the "new" thing for the 4yr old.  All I have to say is, it's a good thing I like her music!! She picked out her outfit, right down to her princess socks (at least she hasn't "grown-up" that fast).
 

OK, so this seems to ber her new "pose" for pictures. Gotta luv it

Ah there's my little peanut.  When u stand back she looks so little. God I love this Kid!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Now onto some "craftin" :-)

I made this album at one of my INKredible events a few years ago. It's been sitting on display ever since. It's our 8x8 on board chipboard album & I just love them. You can create the entire look & feel you want your album to have. So I figured since I ordered like 1,000 pictures (the online site I use had FREE shipping) I needed a home for the many pictures that just couldn't go into the scrapbooks. I tell ya I have to either A, stop taking so many gr8 shots B, stop ordering the pictures or C, add them to the projects I've made. So I did just that, I hope you enjoy viewing them.

Until next time
Happy Craftin'
