little fairy

My sweet girl playing fairy with her new wings:-) All product is from Close to my Heart - except for the "little" stickers which are making memories. I absolutely LOVE the new catalogue from Close to my Heart...pure YUM!

I prepared this tutorial for JuJu Bees Scrapbook Corner so I thought I would share it here too, although I know most of my readers know this already:-)

Rock n' Roll Stamping Technique:

Step 1: Ink your stamp

Step 2: Using a darker ink, roll the outer edges of your stamp in the ink.

Step 3: Stamp on paper

Step 4: Your two toned image is ready for your project!

Easy!

Star Album Tutorial

I did this tutorial for JuJu Bees Scrapbook Corner. I make these star albums every year for stocking stuffers for family and friends:-) They are super easy and fun to make!

If you have never made one before, here is one way to make them:

Step 1: Cut seven 4 x 12 pieces of cardstock (mine is red)

Step 2: From these strips, cut at 5.5 inches. You will now have seven pieces of 5.5 and seven pieces of 6.5 inch pieces.

Step 3: Cut four 4x12 strips of cardstock (mine is white). Then cut these in half at 6 inches.

Step 4: You will now have all of your pieces to make this album.

Step 5: Fold all of the pieces in half.

Step 6: Put adhesive on the biggest piece and the medium piece on the outside edge only.

Step 7: Adhere them together - edges only - with the smallest piece on the inside.

Step 8: Continue to do this with all of your pieces.

Step 9: Time for finishing touches! Adhere some patterned paper over a piece of chipboard (I used a cut up cereal box). Adhere a piece of ribbon to the front and back of your book and then place your covers over top.

Step 10: Your star book is complete! Add embellishments as desired!

Things you say

I wanted to do a layout to remember the cute things my three year old says. She speaks so well now that these are the last of the funny mis-pronunciations:)

Creative Scrappers had a "one picture, many pages" contest this week and all of the layouts entered were revealed tonight. Everyone who entered scrapped the same picture and then we vote on the layout we like the best. Such a neat idea to see so many different ideas! And what a gorgeous photo to work with!!
