Storytellers Club Layouts!!

I think I touched earlier on me joining a kit club.  I got my 1st kits last week and have finished my first 2 LOs this weekend.

They have great papers and cute embellishments...  Here they are...

Im on a roll!!!

Here are some more pages I got done over the weekend and got photographed last night....

Every 6 months I make a page of pics that I want in his book but dont have another spot to fit... This is one of those pages

I won a kit from CTMH at a craft show.  This came from papers from that kit.  It is the Felicity kit :)

More scrappy pages

I have a few more to share, i hope i can keep this up!!  I joined Storytellers Club this week to help me get caught up faster.  I havent received any kits yet, but they have a cool forum that I have done some of the challenges for.  Keeping me motivated... ;)

Wow, its been a while!

Well, I have been MIA from this blog for a long while.  havent had much new to share.  Been doing a lot of the same stuff over and over for my etsy site.  I am setting a goal for the new year to get more caught up on my scrapbooking...I will do it!!!  LOL...

So here are a few of my recent pages, I did 2 of them today...

Altered Photo Canvas

Well, Ive been playing with my YUDU, and look what I did!  I edited some photos and made abstract photo bags.  Here are the pics in order of process...  The red pic is my 5 yr old, and the green one is my nephew.  I still have to finish making the screens for my 2 yr old.  What do you think?

I think I was pushing too hard with the black ink, because on both of these, I have the black sliding thru on the bottom....what the heck, its abstract, right??  LOL

Baby Sock Corsages

My latest project for consignment/craft show. I really like how they turned out! I have realized, though, that I havent done any scrapbooking in a VERY long time!! I think after the craft show next month, that will have to change!!

Cricut Circle

The following message will only be understood by Cricut ADDICTS, LOL

Ok, so I did it!  I was sooo on the fence on this one.  I wasnt able to join in June due to the fact that we were in contract negotiations and I was anticipating going on-strike in July and couldnt spend any money.   So now when they re-opened the Circle, I wanted to join (because I hate missing out on anything, LOL), but I didnt know if it would be worth it for me because you no longer get the 800 points for joining.  I hemmed and hawed, hesitated for a long while.  I was thinking it was only supposed to be open for joining thru the 2nd.  I never signed up.  So then tonight I figured I would check and see if it is still open.  If I missed it, I wasnt meant to join, if it was still up, it was meant to be.  So low-and-behold, it let me sign up!  I had to quick hit the purchase button before I changed my mind!!!  I hope I like it!  I only did the quarterly membership cuz I dont know if I will like it yet....   Did anyone else take the plunge???  What do you think?

Yudu Fun

I FINALLY caved and bought the Yudu Screenprinting Machine! I had been hesitating for the longest time because I didnt know if I would get enough use out of it. But now that I am doing craft shows and consignment, I am hoping it will be worth it... It is really pretty cool, the only thing I dont like is the heat setting. Ironing each piece for at least 3 minutes is quite BORING! Maybe if I can have enough profit from them I can invest in a heat press... Here are some of the onesies I have done so far, all but the princess one were special requests... The computer only let me upload a couple at a time, so I will add more later!

Consignment Time

I have an etsy site, still pretty much in its infancy. http://www.etsy.com/shop/rachiessweetstuff  Well, someone local with a new floral shop and boutique saw my baby washcloth candy and asked if I was interested in doing consignment. Something entirely new for me, but I thought, what the heck! She takes a decent cut, but she has to pay rent and labor costs... Making up price decisions is the toughest! I have had it there for a week and have sold 3 things already :) Most of my stuff isnt very expensive, so it doesnt add up to much, but its better than nothing....So she wants me to be her "baby person", I have been goin crazy thinking of stuff to make and bring...Do you like these diaper cakes???? The Pooh Trike includes diapers, 2 receiving blankets, 2 bibs, a bottle, and of course the stuffed toy. I think I am going to have to price them like $59 in order to make enough money for it to be worth it, we'll see if it sells.....

More projects for Demo

 

I made this card with the Love Struck Seasonal Cart. Love this cut ;) I made this one to show off the Gypsy and how you can make a card by flipping and welding almost any image..

This sign was made with the new Mini Monsters cart, along with mickey font and all mixed up. The title on the sign is the name of my "small business" and Etsy site. I inked it a bit for more visual interest. I love the look of inking, but dont do it often enough.
