Christmas paper bag album

been working on yet another swap and I think that it turned out very nice, this is a paper bag album, loved the paper when I seen it in the scrapbook store and the embellies really helped it along

as I started laying the papers on the bag it all just started comming together, got the glitter paper from Walmart for only 8 dollars it stinks but it works for this album

the little snow man is a cricut snow man I saw how they put him together on the site Christmas with the Cricut and every time I cut him out I have to put him together this way hes so cute

such a sweet little angel she was cut with the sillhoutte and I love her

the frame is another sillhoutte fave for me

cutiest little pocket I ever seen

I made little pockets, folders, and envies for this book I think I did pretty good thanks for looking

Altered Clips

been working on these things called altered clips, there just big of binder clips alter with scrapbooking supplies and you know what, they come out right cute, here are some examples

this is my fave its for a pet swap, kinda hate to send him away

this is a really cute one to love the flower colors

now this one with the plate and silverware just came to me as soon as i picked up the embellies I have 3 more of these stickers and I think I will make 3 more just like this one

this just came out of the blue, picked up the sticker and it just came to me, dont want to send this one away either, oh well it will be alright I will make more and they will prob be better then these.

got a crop comming next weekend and I cant wait, trying to get my stuff together slowly but surley, everyday I should be doing a little something so when Saturday rolls around all I should have to do is roll everything out the door hope I get some things done, i seem to run my mouth more then I scrap at these things. we will see. ok thats enough for tonite will post more later

How Sad

I had to send my Revolution away to be fixed this week, everytime I tryed to use it little bits and pieces of the gears would fall out and it made this aufwal squeeking noise, so I had to finally break down and send my baby away to be repaired, you know I didnt know how much I really liked that thing until it wasnt around when I wanted to use it. I really think I like it better then the epic. but oh well I have the Epic around to do the job until Revolution gets back I just hope it isnt long until then. got a lot of things I want to cut and the Epics cutting base is just to long I feel like I'll be cranking for days with that thing at least with the Rev I would say about 5 or 6 cranks and there you have it . Quickutz please hurry and send my baby back to me
