Daisy Scouts







Here are some of those neglected projects I never posted. :)

First I have a set of altered composition books and pens. These were given to my daughter's leaders at the end of the year as thank you gifts. The paper is K & Co. and I used a ton of Prima flowers to accent. :) Inspiration was from one of my pals Laura!

I also have a 2-page layout of my daughter's Daisy investiture. Sorry for all the post-it notes, but I had to block a lot of people out and this was the easiest way! (Ok, you found me out...yes, I really do live in a secret colony with other 3M human-its. My secret is revealed.)

Supplies used: K & Co. Girl Scout Paper Pack, Cricut Cursive 101 Cartridge, assorted cardstock, Stickles, Prima Flowers, Making Memories brads.

I just found a little log I had of the scrapbook pages I created last year. I completed 180 layouts! I wish it were more, but I do have a goal for the next 6 months: I need to scrap all the pictures I have printed out here. I just want to get them done before our move. This might mean less cards! Eeeekkkkk!

Thanks for stopping by! Hope everyone on this side of the equator is staying cozy and warm!

More Notebooks

Now that everyone (except for Pickle's Mom...sorry...I am getting yours sent with the shirt you let me borrow!) has received their RAKs, I can post them!


I made this notebook for Christy. I actually know her IRL! We met through scrapbooking when I lived in Colorado Springs. She is an awesome girl with a gorgeous family! Since I moved away, she has become a SU demo, so I knew I wanted to make her a notebook that was mainly SU. In addition, I just had to use purple, as she adores that color! I am so glad we have reconnected through this blogging world!



This notebook was made for a dear friend here in Japan. (BTW, I am addicted to making these little notebooks! They are so fun!)



Sorry it has been a week since my last post. I have actually been creating my hind end off, just procrastinating the actual uploading of the proof of my work! ;) This week I have completed 8 scrapbook layouts! I am 2 years behind...I need to get crackin'...plus, it uses up my paper stash!

(If you don't know about my little paper addiction, you can read about it here. Quite frankly, that post will probably make you feel a lot better about yourself, kind of like watching Dr. Phil and thinking "Yeah, my life is not so bad after all...look at that person"...I am "that" person!! I am on a self-prescribed paper buying sabbatical. **sigh** So many pretty papers...and I have to resist...)

Remember this Post?

So, remember back to this post where I said I would make a little something special to the first 5 people who commented? Well, the projects are complete and all mailed out! 2 of my invisible friends have received their goods, so I thought I would post what I made for them. :)
As a side note, I have never altered anything in my life! What possessed me to do so for this little project is beyond me! I was just thinking that I wanted to do something more than a card.

This notebook was made for Heather. She is an amazing woman who not only has 7 children, but she is also a demo and Girl Scout Leader. (I am sure she does more, but I was exhausted after just typing that out!) At any rate, I thought she would like this notebook with Girl Scouts on the cover.



This notebook was made for Naomi. Naomi is not only in one of my blogger groups, but we chat on Facebook as well. She is an energetic person and talented crafter! I have also learned she has a fondness for coffee! Her notebook had to have a coffee theme. I know, this is difficult to admit, but I only have ONE coffee stamp, which is Christmas themed. I masked out the candy cane and hope I gave it more of an all season feel.



There are more projects to come, but I don't want to spoil the surprise for those that have not received their packages yet. :) Thanks for looking!
