SCY: Baby meets pinata

I actually scrapped this on Cinco de Mayo. I didn't plan it that way... it just happened, but I thought it was appropriate! :)

Loved this sketch for Sketches: Creatively Yours, but the curve on the right threw me at first. I'm happy with the decision to add ribbon there, though.

Used mostly Sassafras and (a lot!) of buttons from my stash on this one.

Trading card box

My son loves trading cards. So much that they end up all over his bedroom floor more often than not... because he'll want to check a stat on one particular card.

This project doesn't solve the mess, but it might help with the organization.



I repurposed a shoebox, adding lots of boy papers to the top and sides, and split off the inside with chipboard into four rows.

Now he can organize by sport, year, or whatever. Once he decides on that, I'll make labeled chipboard tags.

No more mess.

Right?

Mommy cards

Before my youngest was born, I had information cards that I could give out to my friends with my information on them.

I was thinking of ordering new ones, and then I decided to make my own.



I apologize for the blurring, but I didn't want my information out there for everyone. You understand, and I think you can get the idea, anyway.

I thought I'd give you an idea how I made them, though. The overall size is 2.25 inches x 3.5 inches. The backgrounds were all leftover scrap material. I printed out the information on one 8.5x11 inch sheet of paper, trimmed to size, inked the edges, glued to the background, and adhered a border sticker.

That's it!

Why buy them when they are that simple to make?

Happy crafting!

Scrapdango's Totally Rad Crop

SCY: Picture Day

I finally scrapped these pics from last year! When I saw Ali's sketch for Sketches: Creatively Yours, I immediately went for these pictures because I knew they would be perfect.

I used a Scrapdango kit for this one.

Journaling Junkie: Things Change

Check out the newest challenge over at Journaling Junkie!



Journaling:
It's funny how you can tell your age based on your priorities in life. As a child, I wanted to be nice to others. In college, it was all about me. As an adult, it's about teaching my kids.

I used lots more Pink Paislee here!

Sassafras score!

I made one of the top 20 submissions for Sassafras' May challenge with the frame that I shared with you a couple weeks back.
