Scrapbooking at Maya Angelou Elementary! Our 1st meeting!

Our first scrapbooking event at Maya happened this past Saturday and it was a lot of fun! We were all well behaved and happy in the library! :.)

We made picture holders and small notepads decorated with some beautiful paper. We are trying to schedule another fun day before school is out so that we can scrapbook pages! Wanna join us?

 

Paper dolls

Who hasn't played with paper dolls? I have! This cute stamp set from Close To My Heart is so adorable!!!!!!!!!!It is a great way to bring the little girl in you or to gift a little girl you love!There are so many possibilities because you can color the clothes and the details in many different ways, creating your own paper doll! Watercolor pencils or CTMH watercolor markers are the perfect match. I love it!

Making your own paper with stamping techniques!

1- Start by using your sponge daubers using the CTMH Ruby ink pad. 2-Stamp your paper using a deeper red. I used CTMH Barn Red. 3- Trim your paper to fit your pin and ink the borders using the barn red ink pad. 4- Add Bitty Sparkles from CTMH.

Add caption

1-To make a rosette, score a strip of paper. 2- glue one extremity to another. 3 & 4- press it towards the center.

Add liquid glass to your rosette, and add a piece of paper in the middle to keep it together. Do that on both sides! Hold it until it is glued! (liquid glass glues it fairly fast)

Ink around the logo.  Add sparkles to bring out the details!

Amy made her own paper using CTMH stamps!

She made this paper as well!

I had a little bit of time to work on my 6 canvases! I stamped on the paper to create a more vivid effect!



Spring Break Adventures!

My spring break was full of home adventures! I had soooo much homework for my masters that I barely did anything else. Besides my busy schedule, I tried to scrapbook a little! This is what I made! I used the 'For always' paper packet from Close To My Heart. I also used the 'For Always' textiles in this project as well! I transformed a dollar clipboard into this beautifuly decorated Close To My Heart clipboard! I used my Cricut CTMH Artiste cartridge to make the flower!

I also had a lot to celebrate after Spring Break! I had my master's thesis oral defense and I passed! It was nerve wracking, but it is over!! Below is a picture of me with the Cougar in the Tri-Cities campus! Go Cougs!

 

Those are beautiful astromerias we bought at Safeway! So fresh! I love red flowers!

To end this post, here is my magnetic board I made using the CTMH textiles! Beautiful and easy to make!
