Baby Book created for my Daughter

This is a baby scrapbook I created for my Daughter to put things of my newest grand-daughter whom will be here in May!

The paper line is "Little Darlings" by Graphic45 and so are the stamps, stickers and die-cut chipboard embellishments. Ribbon is something I bought at Micheal's Craft store. Pink textured tape "Vintage Hip" by Making Memories. Metal buttons from Making Memories. Coin envelopes made out of Recollections Card stock.

The Book design I learned from Kathy Orta-Files of "Paper Phenomenon", and Some from Laura Denison of  "Follow the Paper Trail".

Here are pictures of the book:

 

Mini Scrapbook Christmas Present for Sister

This scrapbook mini was made from Graphic 45's Bird Song 8X8 paper collection and Chipboard tags 1 & 2 from the collection. The Mini Style design was from Kathy Orta-Files, and Crafted by me! As you can tell I am not big on embellishments; still learning to use them.

This purse size scrapbook organizer I copied design from: Scrapbooking Prima "How to make a Super cute & Fast Journal"; I made this for my Aunt with a coloration she loves and mine is a bit thicker. I used a little bit of two paper collections here; DCWV (Die Cuts with a View?) "the Bella Armoire" and Colorbok "Chateau Noir" and this is the album:

Christmas Gift I made 1

Here are pictures of a recipe box set I made my sister for Christmas the design is from Laura Denison of Following the Paper Trail! The Ginger bread is just about the same as her video on youtube.com where the second one Santa's Work Shop (the shop only) I designed. The Papers I used are: Recollections "Bright Christmas" and a sheet of Recollections "Glitter Cardstock Peppermints"; also a sheet out of Recollections "Sugar Plums"!

Happy Haunting by Graphic45 10 Minute Cards

Here are some Halloween cards I created by following the 10 minute Cards challenge instructions by Denise Hahn of the 2012 Design Team of Graphic45. I used Graphic45 Happy Haunting 8x8 Papercrafting paper, and some of the Happy Haunting Chipboard Tags, and matching stamps; as well as some crepe paper from party store, and decorative ribbon from Micheal's craft store. I love how they came out! See the pictures below:

 My Stash I bought in July!

Hand Made Pumpkin Card

I was watching "Life on the {Scrap} Beach" by Kathryn Scraps on Ustream (http://www.ustream.tv/channel/live-on-the-scrap-beach) and learned how to make two types of pumpkin cards (show Spooky pumpkin cards 1 & 2). One was more on a spooky side, and the other was a cutesie kids card.

Here is how my card came out:

My Version of POSH Agenda done

So I finally finished my version of the P.O.S.H Mini Organizer aka Agenda book designed by Kathy Orta-Files. I purchased her awesome P.O.S.H. Mini Organizer which I found it to be not so hard to follow (after all I am a novice to all this) and I think it came out beautiful even though I would critique my measurements the next time. Like I said I am relatively new at this. I Used: Die Cuts With a View's (DCWV) The Tradewinds Stack, Tim Holts' Name Plates, some brads, eyelits, and some extra trinkets from JoAnn Fabrics. I made this book for my daughter whom is suppose to be returning to college in the fall, and I do wish her much success. Here are some pictures:
