Creative Saturday Party and Chalkboard Obsession

Wow....It's been two weeks since I've posted anything! That time has gone so quickly and looking back it has been a very busy two weeks.  My daughter went to her first prom and we have also had a couple snow storms in there too and a couple 70 degree days. Crazy how the weather has been this year here in Minneapolis. Hopefully yesterday was the last cold day for us...at 35 degrees and snow...by Monday they are saying in the 60's and 70's from now on. Please let spring be here!

My daughter had a quote she wanted to post on the chalkboard this week, but I wasn't crazy about how it was worded.  She wanted


"Today may not be my day, but this year will be."


and I want her to feel like every day is "her day" and it is amazing.  So this one is for my daughter...Life is amazing!

Scrapbook Art & Creative Linky Party

I love scrapbooking but I'm so far behind on my scrapbooks it is overwhelming.  I do love having that scrapbook feel though and still display my favorite photos.  To I decided to start combining them together.  I have found using frames and canvas as my base piece work very well!

Gift Frame & Friday Linky Party #6

I've been trying to use some of the craft stuff I have around the house before I go out and buy more fun stuff.    I found this plain white frame I've had for years...about 7 years at least...just waiting to be used.  My Mom will be away from home while she is going through her treatments for stomach cancer and I thought it would be nice to have a photo of all of us together and some words of encouragement from each of us.

I call it a gift frame...it could be used for Grandparents, get well from a family or co-workers, a wedding present, wishes for a new baby, graduation or any other occasion you would like.  It gives a personal touch with handwritten words on it.

I used all scraps on it and was able to make 3 cards as well....what a deal!

1.  Find something to decorate (frame, book, box...)  2.  Rub an ink pad along edges to give some color without having to paint the whole frame.  3.  Add scrap papers to create a writing area.  I also added a frame I found around the photo. 4.  Write your wishes onto the frame.

Quick Scrap Cards

1.  Gather coordinating scrap papers and plain cards.  2.  Rub ink pad along edges of cards. 3.  Place a large block of scrap paper onto card.  4.  Layer long strips or blocks of paper to get desired look. 5. Add embellishments such as a saying, flower, ribbon or button.

Now it is your turn...What have you been up to lately?
