Recipe for a Sweet Family

Recipe for a Sweet Family will make the perfect gift for Mother's Day this year. You may want to make one just for yourself. I know I am struggling with giving mine away. I may need to make two more. This class is on Monday, May 3rd at 7pm. The class is $26.50 for members and $31.50 for non members. We use all Cosmo Cricket product in this class. The new Garden Variety paper line is so fun.
There is lots of room for photos in this mini book. The backside of each page has room for a 5x5 photo and then most other pages have one vertical or horizontal 4x3 photo. All cuts are simple and this book is easy to put together! Call, email or drop by and register soon!

Another Easter layout and another banner

I love the new trend of making banners on layouts. They are so fresh and happy looking for spring photos.  And they're so easy to make.  Just cut out a set of triangles and lay them across your page.  You can get fancy and actually punch holes in each top corner to string the triangles together or just glue the string to back of each flag. 

There are an infinite variety of embellishments to add to your banners.  From little bows to buttons to brads... The possibilities are endless.

I hope you have fun creating a banner on your next layout.  We'd love to see it!

Now I'm off to get messy with the scraps from this layout and yesterdays page.

You know what this means...

I did not lay this stuff out like this on purpose. I was working away and looked over at my stash and this is what I saw. Yup working on another class and yes another minibook. This one will make a great gift for Mother's Day. We use all Cosmo Cricket Garden Variety. Too much fun. Stay tuned for future posts with more details!

Easter photos to scrap, anyone?

It's been ages since I've locked myself in my scraproom to spend some quality time with paper and glue.  With the weather being so nice I've been out digging in my garden and getting ready for summer fun. But I do have a pile of pictures to scrap before the memorys fade and the stories are forgotten.

The layout I worked on last night is of my nephew who at one years old already knows what chocolate is all about.

Have you noticed how popular banners are right now?  I decided to make an oversize banner on this page.  I pulled out some old edging scissors for the white trim on the triangles. And cut some half circles around the bird images on one of the coordinating papers.  I love the fun, colourful patterns of this line. 

'hippity hop' is one of my Quickutz alphas and 'chocolate' is a felt Thickers alpha.

Trade Show project

Did you stop by the Unforgettable Memories booth at the Trade Show this weekend? Hopefully you did and you had the chance to pick up one of these cute "CREATE" banners. They were $20.00. I don't know if any are left but if you didn't get yours stop by the store and see if Jen, Lynette or Sarah can hook you up! I can't wait to get mine back and hang it in my scrap space!

Prima's April sketch

Prima has their April sketch up.  I'm not going to tell you whether or not I plan on doing it because everytime I say I'm going to, I never do.  So it will be a surprise for us both if I get it done this month.  :)  I have to say though, that this is one of my favourite sketches I've seen from Prima.

You can see how Prima's DT used this sketch on their blog.
I think Ingvild Bolme's layout is my favourite.  Which one is your fav?
