October Club Projects

On Monday, the group of gals in my stamp club came over to make some fun fall projects. We created some neat paper embellishments using the scallop punch. We punched two scallops out of old olive, crumb cake, and a patterned paper from the Autumn Spice Designer Series paper set in the Holiday Mini catalog. We "crumpled" them up a little bit and held them together in the center with a brad. We then stamped a leaf image in chocolate chip ink and cut it out. We attached it to the scallops with a diminsional. They turned out really cute. The gals making cards used them on this card which uses a piece of another pattern paper from the same set. I'm not sure why my picture is in here sideways, but I don't know how to fix it!

Here is another picture of the card at an angle that shows the layers of scallops and how the "crumpling" added a fun texture.

Here is a photo of one half of the layout the scrapbook gals completed. It used a third piece of pattern paper from the set, old olive accent strips, and some fun ribbon loops attached to the crumb cake base.

Next month, we will be completing some Christmas themed projects. I'll be back posting them after next month's club night. Next, I think I will be showing you the cute cupcake birthday party invitations I made for Isabelle's party!!

Project Life Album

My friend, Kim Ryden, has been doing a great project this year, and I decided to join her on August 1st....better late than never right??? We are taking one picture every day of the year! I purchased this great kit off of Amazon that Becky Higgins put together. It is a binder, clear pages for photos, journaling cards, 12x12 paper, date stamp, and book marks. (I may have left something out). Anyway, it is everything you need to complete your album. It is great to keep me intentional on taking pictures and getting them printed out. Some of the pics are of the kids but some are of items such as a book I am reading at the time or a new item purchased. It will be so fun to look back through as time goes by and see what we were up to.

Here is a little bit closer look of one of the weeks in my album. You can see a shot of Owen ready for Awanas on the first night of club for the year, the boys at Fritz's, and some cards I completed at a crop I attended. As bigger events happen throughout the year like birthdays, I can insert scrapbook layouts into the binder!





If you are interested in doing this yourself, just search for Becky Higgins on Amazon. I know I will definitely be doing this again next year!!!
