Glue it Tuesday!

Hi friends, I hope you are having great start to your week, I know I am! Well it Tuesday and lately Tuesday has become one of my favorite days, mainly because of Glue it Tuesday! I am really loving collage right now so the chance to get to do it weekly is lots of fun! Here is this weeks page!

I had a lot of fun putting this page together! The page was painted a couple days ago so that made it much easier to get started! I have sheets upon sheets of chipboard letters so I thought this would be a fun way to use them up! Happy Glue it Tuesday everyone!

Oooh and hey that's me! I finally got new glasses! I have had the same black and red glasses for probably five years now so it was about time, I love these!

I will be back soon with some fun projects and such, I hope everyone has a great week!!!

Scrappin Sunday!

So I have been bit by the scrapbooking bug again (it comes and goes) but right now I am addicted to making mini albums! So here is one I made earlier this week, I am thinking it might be fun for a Mothers Day gift!

It comes in this cute little box!

The whole album is made out of file folders!

love this page!

Almost all of the flip pages and pockets are made out of the extra pieces of file folder!

This mini album is really really easy to make, you could even make this into a travel journal of some sort, lots of possibilities! Here is the tutorial for the book,mine is tweaked a bit to my liking (I have one more page then she does for instance) Let me know if you guys make one, its a lot of fun! Have a great Sunday, see you soon!

Friday Five Minute Tutorial! (transparent papers)

I may have lied I believe the video is a bit longer than five minutes (ahem twenty to be exact) but I wanted to be thorough! I really really love making these papers, I make a new batch every couple weeks because I use it up so quickly! So I really hope you all enjoy and let me know if you try it and like it!

Also I wanted to ask you all a favor, are there any new techniques, or new things you are wanting to try? Something you see in my journal that you want to learn how to do yourself? Please feel free to comment or email me (freckles2531@gmail.com), I want your opinions so I can build a better blog so that I am trying new things and of course so are you! I hope you all have a great Friday and a fabulous weekend!

Just a bit of an update!

Hi there! I hope you all are having a great spring so far! I have quite a few pages to share with you all so lets get started!

I started using my Moleskin journal for Glue it Tuesdays over at Artsyville's blog, I am having lots of fun so far!

I worked on this spread until the wee hours last night (4am to be exact) I really love the message that came through oh and I LOVE the neon! This page is also for the Sodalicious challenge!

At the Renaissance festival a few weeks ago I got this really awesome handmade journal and I just love working in it! It's much larger than any other journal I have worked in but I am really enjoying it!

Well I hope you are all having a great week! Talk to you soon!

Smashbook Sunday with a fun tutorial!

Hi friends! I am here with another quick tutorial for making your own sticker paper with stamps! I took like five minutes to do and I made a few tags and heart stickers out of it!

So here is what you need-

• Sticker paper
• Stamps
• Die cut machine or stencils
• Your favorite stamp pad

Start stamping randomly, working your way around the paper freely

Once you are happy with your paper, you can run it through your favorite die cutting machine, or use  a stencil!

Here is what I cut out, plus I have some leftover too!

Here is my finished page, I painted my hearts teal and viola cute stickers for your smashbook!

 Try doodling a full sticker page and you can cut those into fun shapes as well!

To make 3-D stickers you could layer stickers with foam dot adhesives!

Most of all have fun!

Have a great week and I will see you soon!
