I'm baaaack!!!!

Hello all!  I know I know.....I have so neglected my scrapbooking projects and blog :( BUT, I have been a busy gal making a lifestyle change by GETTING HEALTHY/FIT!  Yup, between Zumba, Bootcamp, and Running, I have NO TIME to scrapbook :(  However, I made a new years resolution for 2013 to get back on track and continue to do what I love and that is SCRAPBOOK!  Stay tuned for upcoming projects :)

                                                                     

Happily Ever After

Here is another "Memory Tray" I created for a very dear person to me!  This beautiful person (inside and out) is someone who is both family/friend to me!  I wanted to make this keepsake for her to hang in her home to cherish. Congrats to Mayra and Edgar!  Love you....Michelle

Sweet 16

Happy "Sweet 16" Joanna!!!  I've known this beautiful young lady since the day she was born.  And now she is turning 16....HOW TIME FLIES!!!

I have been given the honor to scrapbook this memorable event for her starting with this photo.  This 12x12 layout has been placed in a memory book I have prepared for her to use at the reception for her guests to see.  I cannot wait to finish this book for her once the pics are developed. 

Joanna-I love you very much!  I am very proud of the beautiful young woman that you are turning into.  Hugs and Kisses to you and your beautiful family!!!!

Supplies used:

Treat Cups

As I have stated before, I LOVE altering items.  I am always seeking something to add a little paper craft too. Here is a preview of various styles added to these convenient/disposable cups that can be used for different things.  I chose to use them as treat cups.

Let's have "Smores" fun!

Photographed are the "smores" kits I made for my job's bake sale!   No baking required...teee hee!  Of course, the marshmallows-hershey's chocolate bars-graham crackers were purchased at my local grocery store BUT the tags were HAND MADE :)

I cut out tags and the camp fire using my Cricut Expression.  I inked all the sides of the tags with Tim Holtz distress inks. I cut all the marshmallow white squares and brown sticks/twigs by hand.  I embellished the camp fire flame with orange and red glitter.  Hand stamped the saying "a little YUMMY for your tummy".

I filled the "smores" ingredients inside a food safe bag that I purchased from Michaels (baking section).  Tied the bag shut using raffia ribbon and just making a simple bow tying the tag thru the ribbon.

This project was extremely easy to do and my opinion super cute!

NOW GO HAVE "SMORE" FUN!
