This is the frame I have done for myself. The papers are virtually the same with a couple of extra pieces also from My Minds Eye. The background piece on mine is darker which worked out great because of having a black and white photo added.

This is the photo frame that I have made for my mom for christmas. In it are 2 photos of her 5 grandchildren.

The frame is from Creative Memories and the paper is from My Mind's Eye (Lost & Found series)

The photos were printed in a sepia tint and are both 5x7 before being slightly cropped.

How cool is this?

So I stumbled across this amazing new product that I think I need to get my hands on. It's called a scrap N tote and it is a large heavey duty binder made for storing your cricut carts, books and overlays. The binder comes with 12 heavey duty sheets of clear plastic with 3 pockets on each sheet. So each binder will hold 36 carts in total. Or if you want you can double up on some if they are lites or solutions.

There is also a clear pocket for other supplies as well as a plae to store your 12x12 matts and some paper.

If you have one of these totes, let me know what you think.

Happy scrappin everyone!

This is the chocolate Everyday Display from Creative Memories. For the month of November, when you purchased the display, you recieved a bonus package of papers and 2 clear decorative overlays. There are so many different things to make with this and it was a lot of fun to play around with.
I ended up making ours a family display with a photo of the 4 of us and then the boys playschool until current school pictures.
When I showed my hubby, he said "huh, looks like we need to get some new photos done"
Hmmm, you think? Lol. That family photo is at least 4 years old!

Merry Christmas!

I am only 2.5 years behind in my boys albums now so I am very happy. Lol.

I love this page as it shows the joy that christmas eve brings to my boys. They love getting Santa's plate ready before they go to bed. Our Santa plate was painted by a very good friend of mine named Kimberly. As you can tell, she is very talented.

The papers and embellishments used are all from Creative Memories.

Here are a couple of pages that I am working on for my mom's christmas gift. I have done an album for her celebrating the birth of each of her grandchildren. I am a little behind with this last one as my neice turned 2 this past June.... oooppps....

My mom is the one in the blue sweater.

Almost forgot, these are 8x8 digital pages that I have done with Creative Memories Storey Book Creator Plus

Oh my...

Well I just remembered that I haven't been on my blog and so I come on and ooops, it has been 4 months since my last post! Yikes.

Now if I actually had lots of people following me that would be a very sad thing indeed. Since there are only a handful of us on here it is safe to say that it's not a big deal. Lol.

I do feel bad though.

The camp and crop I had mentioned in my last post went great. We got lots of scrappin done and even had a fire and some drinks on the saturday evening. Note to self, next time, split some kindling before it is dark!

So now, tomorrow, is the start of my 2 day croptoberfest event. I'm not sure if I have mentioned or not but I am a CM consultant. So my group of scrappy ladies are very much looking forward to this weekend as am I.

I got lots of neat little goodies for them and have some wonderful meals planned. I WILL post some pics if I get the okay from my ladies.

I have 2 pictures that I will post. One is the barn from the Create a critte cartridge that I used on a farm page. I LOVE this cart as it has so many great things to be used on it.

The next one is a page that I did using the new page planner guide from CM which is amazing and so helpful in creating beautiful pages without the stress. Also used on this page is the pumpkin from the Cheerful cart available only through CM. The words down the side are on of the fonts also available on the cart.

You can get your own page planner and CM only carts @ http://www.creativememories.ca/ or http://www.creativememories.com/
