The Joy of Sorting Chipboard.....

Hello Scrapper and Friends! If you all don't know already I LOVE organizing and sorting in my craft room and through out our home.

One thing my mom bought me at a garage sale this last summer was 2 buckets of chipboard! I finally got around this week and decided to sort them into bins so I can see what I have and get to it easily. I used my hardware drawer system that I bought at a garage sale to store all the chipboard pieces and began sorting the several pieces of chipboard. Love how it all turned out! Plus it made more room on my shelves to put more stuff!

The drawers if you missed it are just hardware drawers you get in any hardware department and you can find these at garage sales too. I covered the fronts with zebra duct tape and used my trusty label maker to label what's in the drawers.

Hope you all enjoy organizing as much as I do! Makes it easier to scrapbook. Hope you have a splendid crafty time!

Christmas Present From The Hubby!

Hello Scrappers and Friends! I hope you had a wonderful holiday!! My husband sure does spoil me! He actually listens to me when I talk about my scrapbooking and what I want. I have been trying to make my own mini albums and really wanted a binding system. So he went and bought me this without help! What a keeper! I'm so excited to start playing with it.

I just had to show off what he got me and how amazing he is! Have a splendid crafty time! 

New Sticker Storage

Hello Scrappers and Friends! I hope you are having a wonderful time. I am off this week so I've been working in my craft room and organizing as much as I can.

One thing I struggle with is sticker storage. I had all my stickers in these Snap-n-go containers separated by theme but they took up too much space and it was hard to see everything I had so I needed to figure out how to store them to where they would work better for me. One method my Mother in Law sent me a video on was cutting up file folders to adhere your sticker pages to. Then you place them in sleeves in three ringed binders separated by theme. All I need to do now is place dividers in between the themes. So far I think this is going to be the best option for me.

Another option ladies seem to like is using ScrapRacks. I personally do not like the look of them and they seem to take up a lot of room. But if you have the room and money to buy one several ladies have recommended them.

I hope this is helpful to some that have tons of stickers and don't know what to do with them. Have a splendid crafty time! 

Baby Shower Invites

Hello Scrappers and Friends! Hope you all have a wonderful holiday! Last weekend I started to work on our baby shower invites. I wanted to make them simple but pretty. One thing I'm going to do is write on them before I emboss them to make it easier.

These are all the supplies I used plus cardstock. Very simple and very easy! I'll be sending these out in February.

Sometimes the simplest things are the best things! Have a Splendid Crafty Time!

Pregnancy Book Updated

Hello Scrappers and Friends! I worked on my Pregnancy book last weekend updating it.

My husband and I decided to throw a Gender Reveal party with some close family members. I made some of the decorations and had people at the party vote which gender they thought the baby was. I also had taken a poll at work and put that on the page as well. So is the baby a boy or girl?

Surprise! It's a GIRL!! I filled the cupcakes with the color of the gender and had the grandparents at the party take bite to find out. I had to tell them before hand to be gentle because I needed a picture of them holding the cupcakes showing the color inside. Can't tell I'm a scrapbooker huh?!

I took some Project Life cards and used the backs for backgrounds. Then used a stamp with Journaling so I could write the response for each sticker.

I also did a page with the ultrasound picture showing the gender. A few other pages I have done have test results and I saved the doctor appointment reminders and pasted them on a page.

We are all so very excited! Hope you all are having a Splendid Crafty Time!

Christmas Cards 2015

Hello Scrappers and Friends! Hope you all are getting ready for the holidays coming up. I have been behind on my Scrapbooking and making my Christmas cards. Last weekend I sat down and finally got most of them done. I decided to do simple this year and not get to crazy since I have tons to do. All I used were stickers, stamps, paper and embossing powders. Some of the backgrounds are from Project Life collections that I have.

Hope these gave you some ideas. Have a Splendid Crafty Time!
