I reorganized my scrapbook while I was out of work in January. It's cleaner, somewhat, but feels more spacious. Probably because I moved the table. I haven't done much scrapping though because the basement is so darn cold this time of year. And, because I started a new full time job, I feel as though I'm working all the time and not doing anything I really love, like writing and scrapping. <br />
<br />
But, I wanted to write a quick post to tell you I'm still around. Oh, I think I'm going to start making You Tube videos again! I want to showcase one layout a week or maybe every two weeks. My life is so darn busy. <br />
<br />
Well, that's it for now. Do come back and visit.Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17149138881304481080noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001660117260290875.post-19038375733304035142020-01-30T11:12:00.001-05:002020-01-30T11:12:34.219-05:00Where Have I Been?!!!That's a great question. I haven't posted a thing in two years. Wow, two years!!! That's awful to be honest. I've tried to keep up with posts, but in the last two years, life has thrown me some pretty bad curve balls. My grandson and his girlfriend moved in when she was pregnant then lived with us for a year (until August of 2019) when we had to throw them out due to some serious issues on my grandson's end. Since then, there have still been struggles with him, and the girlfriend and baby, in our lives that will probably always be there, so I have to find a way to deal with the issues and move on. I also lost my job back in August of 2019--coincidence? Hmmm, I don't think so. Hubby is now retired but has health issues and trying to do anything in the house with my husband home is difficult, to say the least. I then went back to work in October but now I'm out of work...again and now looking.<br />
<br />
So, why haven't I been posting on this blog? Well, I started back up with writing and that's been my focus for the last 3 years in between all the BS that's been going on. I really want to get published and I have to FOCUS on that. Yes, that is my new word for the year: FOCUS. I have to focus on my writing, focus on organizing my house; focus on family and most importantly, focus on me. <br />
<br />
I haven't been in my scrap room in a long time. I would just bring stuff down and clutter up the area until my husband recently told me that it was time to clean up the room or give it up. What?! Give it up? I can't do that. I use that room. Whoa! Wait a minute. I had to stop and think about what I had just said. I don't use that room. It's just an area for me to dump my craft and scrapping supplies and that's it. Then I realized I didn't like my room anymore. It was. . . uninspiring. My husband wanted to take down the old-fashioned plywood the previous owner had put up because we found mice behind the 'makeshift' walls. Ewwww. So, after solving that problem, my husband took down the walls and painted the concrete walls. Oh, did I tell you my scrap room is in the basement? <br />
<br />
It's a good sized room with plenty of shelves (created by hubby) for lots of storage. I used to hang out down there when we first bought the house 8 years ago, but then 3 years ago, the writing muse came back to me and I couldn't let go. I had to write again. So, scrapbooking went on the back burner. I have been attending a couple of crops a year with my daughter which keeps me motivated, but I don't do near as much scrapping as I used to. <br />
<br />
With that said, I decided that I was going to reorganize my scrapbook room and see if it helped. For two days--seven hours each day, I rearranged, reorganized and re-imagined my room. And now I like it! It feels inspiring to me now. I've also decided to do my writing down there as well. I can now use this room for both of my loves---writing and scrapping. <br />
<br />
I'll have to post pics in another blog posts. Somehow I can't get the pictures off my phone to my computer. That's the next problem to tackle. <br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by!<br />

I bought a journal, gathered pens of all colors and size; bought stickers; printed off stickers and set up my bullet journal from pictures on Pinterest. Gotta love Pinterest! Then late winter of this year, I bought <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">The Happy Planner </span></span>by <span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Me and MyBigIdeas</span>. Loved that one as well.<br />
<br />
I'm using The Happy Planner as <i>part planner and part scrapbook</i>. It's a great way to jot down memories and then add photos to some photo sleeves that the company makes to go with the Planner. My planner is already getting pretty thick and not sure if the plastic rings will hold anymore. I'll have to see if Michael's carries the bigger rings. I have a board devoted to The Happy Planner where I get tons of inspiration. <br />
<br />
Here are some pics:<br />

I've been so busy with my job, my grandchildren, and just the everyday things that Life throws at us on a daily basis.<br />
<br />
Plus, I've gone back to another passion of mine besides scrapbooking and that is. . .writing. I took a long hiatus and did nothing by concentrate on the hobby of scrapbooking. So, last August of 2016, I decided that I was going to become a member of RWA National and join the New England Chapter Romance Writers. It was the right decision and I'm happy to say that I met with an agent last April who requested a partial--first 3 chapters, a synopsis, and a query letter. I've been working hard on getting this together so I can finally mail it out to Courtney at Handspun Literary Agency.<br />
<br />
Oh, I also couldn't get into eBlogger for days now! It wasn't recognizing me as the admin of my blogs. Finally, tonight, it worked and I breathed a huge sigh of relief.<br />
<br />
So, I just wanted to catch up a little bit and will do my best to share any of the creations I may make in the future. My daughter Jackie and I will be attending a scrapbook event in October for an entire weekend in Saco. Can't wait for that one! We also attended a one day scrapbooking event back in March with Cindy Paradis--the same lady who is doing the one in October called Croptoberfest. <br />
<br />
Well, it's late and I want to get back to working on my writing blog. <br />
<br />
Thanks for understanding and visiting.<br />

have been very busy! I take care of my grandson, Cameron, every Wednesday. He's such a joy and I love my day with him. We've been celebrating birthdays, attending CKC, gardening, going to Cameron's swim lessons, working (of course!), trying to spend some quality family time together and enjoying what little bit of summer we get here in Maine. I'll try to write another post soon, but feel free to go through my photos---they pretty tell the story of what I've been doing for the last two months. . .</div>

Jackie and I decided in March that we wanted to go. It didn't give us much time but we got the money together and booked a hotel room. We stayed off site because 1. it was cheaper and 2. there weren't any rooms available on site. <br />

Jackie and I went to two classes although we were determined not to, only because of the expense. But, we couldn't resist. The above photos are from the class. Of course, we spent lots of money at the vendor fair and made several make n takes. I can't wait to start using my new goodies on future projects!</div>

But that's okay. If someone does happen to read this post, then I'll consider myself very lucky. And, I do have to apologize for my long absence. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I haven't blogged in MONTHS! Life has been busy--in good ways and bad. I've been enjoying my grandson, Cameron, babysitting two days a week and working nearly 40 plus hours on my full-time job. But, then I went down to one day a week--Wednesdays--which I enjoy. Due to my work hours and working nearly 12 hour days, I don't get to see him as much as I'd like, although he only lives 15 minutes away. My daughter and son-in-law have busy lives as well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Although I haven't blogged, I have been scrapping as well as being involved in some swaps. And, I've also attended some local crops which has been a lot of fun. I'm also very excited to be attending the Creating Keepsakes Convention in Manchester, NH this year. I don't think I've been in two, maybe three years! Can't wait to get some shopping time in at the vendor fair! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Considering I haven't blogged in like 8 months, I really don't have a lot to say, but I do believe I have some scrapping related stuff to share. I'll do that in a separate post. For now, I'll end this post saying Thank You to whoever may stop by and read this and to say, please check in---I'll do my best to keep the blog moving forward.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wishing you a scrap happy day!</span>Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17149138881304481080noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001660117260290875.post-91293132031404137812015-07-11T00:00:00.000-04:002016-03-31T11:48:30.640-04:00Welcome to My Creative Space!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It's that time of year when <i>Karen Valentine</i> of <u><i>My Desert Cottage</i></u> hosts the "Where Bloggers Create" event, so a multitude of creative people can take a virtual tour of others creative, crafty spaces. I've always enjoyed this event and look forward to it each year. Speaking of 'each year', you can visit my other posts <a href="http://scrapmomsmusings.blogspot.com/2014/07/welcome-to-my-creative-space.html">My Creative Space 2014</a> and <a href="http://scrapmomsmusings.blogspot.com/2013/07/welcome-to-my-basement-scraproom.html">My Basement Scraproom 2013</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">WARNING! <u>This is a very. long. post</u>! If you just want to scroll through and not read all the captions, feel free. I tend to post a lot of pics when I participate in this blog hop.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Most of my room, which is located in the <b>basement</b>, is pretty much the same as it has been for the last two years. I had great intentions of changing it up a bit the past year, but unfortunately, life threw me a few curveballs and I never had the opportunity to do some of the projects I had planned. One of them was to paint the walls, another was to organize it a bit better than it is right now. Oh well. Since last year's party, I've been working full time, found out my daughter was pregnant, holidays, planned a baby shower, then my husband needing surgery, working 40 hours a week and babysitting for 20+ hours---ahhhh, the list goes on. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Most of the items you'll see in my room are thrift finds from flea markets, yard sales and thrift stores. My room is not the prettiest, nor the most glamorous, or the most 'all-together' room where everything matches, but it is functional. I live in a small ranch and I was very fortunate to have the space I have. Hubby built shelving units to create a 'wall' separating my space from the rest of the basement. He also hung white sheets over the ceiling to give me more light and to 'dress it up a bit'. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Throughout the room, I've added touches of 'me', so to speak. There are birdhouses, paper crafts, swap items I've received, mementos, a few items from my childhood--things that make my space feel special. I've wanted to add items to make it look whimsy and colorful, but I'm still working on that. I also covered the fronts of all my storage containers so it looked a bit 'cleaner' and better organized. Most of the drawers are labeled. That's also another work in progress. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So....without further adieu, here's my room:</span><br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">My husband built a tone of shelving units for me to make it look more like a room. To hide the mess of one of the units (you'll see it later), I nailed up some foam board, covered with green contact paper and hung a portion of a pocket organizer. The pink pocket organizer holds my glue guns, my heat guns and a paper drill. The apron hanging on the left is signed by Tim Holtz himself! I wore this apron during an event several years ago in Topsfield, Mass. where he taught a class (will show that later as well). All those boxes hold photos--no lie! Tons of them. On the top shelf, are containers holding flowers and below that are all my scrapbook albums. Sitting on that small table (a yard sale find) is my daughter's bridesmaid bouquet that I made along with a garden doll and some spiral flowers I made for my daughter's bridal shower two years ago. </td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Last year, I had my childhood desk sitting in this spot, since then I found this item (not sure what it's called) at a yard sale for $15.00. It holds punches, but most of the drawers are empty. Sorry for the blurriness. On top of this unit is an old strainer holding an assortment of tiny mini albums that I've collected through various swaps over the years. Also I have an old ceramic gravy boat holding heart-shaped rocks. <br />
For some reason, when I posted these pictures, they came out in the wrong format. Sorry.</td></tr>

To the left of the back table is another book case (another yard sale find), which holds photo CD albums; button jars; bead jars, baskets and boxes holding an assortment of other things, that to tell you the truth--I can't remember! Geez, I've got to look through them again. To the left of the book case are two items purchased at thrift stores--a tiny brown wooden shelving unit displaying my favorite stamps, and on top of that sits a mini cabinet displaying my tiny teddy bears (I used to collect them). In front of that is a wooden 'birdhouse', again, bought at a yard sale. Next to the book case is a wooden rack that was once used for hanging clothes, I think--not sure. Anyway, I just recently decided to use it for storing my small collection of Washi tapes. The sign "Scrap Room" was made by me several years ago for my old scrap room in the other house.<br />

The above four photos ---a side view of my Washi tapes; to the left of the narrow white book case begins my "wall". The photo in the upper right is another white book case (from my daughter's room) that holds all the small Sterilite containers which fit perfectly! These are labeled with the types of embellies in each box. The bottom left photo shows my Sterilite units stacked one on top of the other to create part of the wall of my room. Each box is covered in paper and labeled with the contents. The bottom right photo is the wooden unit between the stacks of Sterilite containers and the white bookcase (upper right). My husband basically built the 'wall' around the containers--LOL!<br />

The left photo is the lower half of the 'wall' The bottom Iris containers hold layouts yet to be completed and other projects. The photo on the right is my table which is 8 feet long. I wanted to cover up what's hiding underneath, so I found some fabric that I had hoarded for the last 25 years (yes, that long!) and made a continuous skirt by hot gluing (no sew) the panels together and then gathering them on the top using glue as well. I then attached the skirt to the table using velcro dots and covered the raw edge with fabric ribbon. The chair is covered in an old sheet with a piece of fabric over the back and a seat cushion covered in some left over fabric as well. When I was doing this, I wanted to add color and some 'shabbiness' to the room. Not sure if I succeeded.<br />

Here's a close up of the chair (wanted to hide the black) and the next photo is taken from the corner where the two brown 'towers' stand. Now, let's see what I have on my desk:<br />

Sitting on top of yet another yard sale find--a white two level shelving unit, is this wire item of which I don't know what it's called. I only know that it spins. This holds my Ranger ink pads, alcohol inks and chalk paint. The other picture shows the other side of the top of the unit. This is actually a 'necklace hanger" but I used it for holding my vintage embellies. <br />

To the left on the table is an old wooden bed tray (another thrift store item) which holds two antique sewing baskets full of trims; teacup pin cushions I've received from swaps and an altered cigar box. Beneath the bed tray I have terra cotta pots holding paintbrushes. In front of the bed tray is a wooden lazy susan holding altered tin cans which store my colored pencils, pens, scissors, rulers and a host of other tools. Beside the lazy susan is my troll which I've had since I was 9 or 10. Next to him is a ceramic 'purse' which olds markers then there are two other tin containers (dollar store) holding more tools and colored markers. <br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">And here are the two items we (my daughter and I) made with Tim Holtz. The one to the right is mine which I have to fix. It fell on the floor and two of the things on the top broke off. The blue one is my daughter's. The trap cup lying on its side is also from a swap and needs to be glued onto it's glass base. Haven't found the right glue to hold it together. The little pewter bowl holds sea glass and sea shells.<br />

I forgot to mention that beside the white table on the back wall sits my oldest daughter's old computer table. Again, she didn't have use for it, so I snagged it. I use this to store my machines--Cricut, Cuttlebug, Big Shot, mini sewing machine; my binder machine, sewing machine, sewing basket and parts to go with them. An old rag doll (another item I used to collect) sits comfortably on the Cricut.<br />

The right photo is a close up of that small square table sitting against the foam board 'wall' which hides the mess you see in the next photo. Believe it or not, these are bags and bags of kits that my daughter and I have purchased over the years from the Creating Keepsakes Conventions that we've yet to finish. A lot of them are from The Button Farm. I need two more lifetimes to get through all these projects! <br />

Here's another view of the "mess". The bottom shelf holds some photos, but most are the old negatives we used to get with developed film. Remember those days?<br />

And lastly, this is another unit my husband built to store some of his stuff, but because it was closer to my room, I took it over--LOL! Because it is an unsightly mess, I covered it with a fabric shower curtain I no longer use. Behind the curtain is this:<br />
<br />

Just a bunch of stuff that I'll use "someday". Actually, I have used them, found something better or different and put the item back here---just in case I have use for it later. <br />

I started babysitting him about a month ago when my daughter went back to work on Wednesdays and Thursdays. He's changing so much and growing so fast. The first couple of months were tough because he had colic so bad, but he's rarely fussy. <br />
<br />
Let me share some pictures! I could post dozens, but I won't bore you too much:<br />

Well, since posting about my daughter and her husband expecting a boy in March (see post below), I've been soooo busy with work, the holidays, preparing my daughter's shower and dealing with Old Man Winter. I can't believe it's been 6 months since I posted. Anyway.....</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I think I'll give a quick recap of each month to give you the low-down.</span><br />

Our summer was spent doing the usual summer things people do like going to the beach, spending time with family, going to cook outs, going on vacation, camping--whew! I have been scrapping on occasion. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There were two swaps I belonged too. One over at Your Paper Pantry and another at Paper Phenomenom hosted by the incredible Kathy Orta. I can't load any photos at this time because I'm using a brand new computer--bought last Thursday---and I don't have a single photo uploaded. We bought an iMac last week and I'm slowly learning how to use it. As soon as the pics are uploaded, I'll share.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I just might share pics of my summer adventures as well! Come on back and see what I've been up to.</span><br />

The two Easel Note Pads are easy to make. One has a mini calendar and the other a photo mat. The covers fold down to cover the post it note. When the notepad is gone, just replace it with another. No need to throw away the holder. I was selling these for $3.00 each and they sold like hot cakes. These are the last two I had. </div>

I always enjoy this. It's an opportunity for me to visit other scrappers and crafters blogs and get inspired. And, I hope that I inspire others as well. If you've got a crafty/scrappy place you want to share, join in! Click the image on the right side to go there. So, without further adieu, let me start the tour: Oh, let me warn you: This could be a L-O-N-G post because I can get wordy with my explanations. Consider yourself warned--LOL!<br />
<br />
My room is in the basement now. I used to have a room on the main floor of a house we rented 3 years ago, but when we bought this house 2 1/2 years ago, I had to resort to the basement. We live in a very small ranch with limited space. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is what you see when you open the basement door. My room is decorated with alot of flea-market, yard sale and thrift store finds. It's definitely a room created on a budget! I have a desk from my childhood--a Christmas gift when I was 9 years old, that houses punches, instruction manuals and other assorted items. I tried to make my room a bit shabby so I covered the ordinary wooden chair with a king size pillow case! The small table beneath the pink shoe holder is covered in an old curtain valance and pinned in the back. The 'vase' was bought at a yard sale and is filled with spiral flowers I made for my daughter's bridal shower last year. Someday, I'm going to cover that ugly brown pole.<br />

If you look slightly to the right when entering, this is the view. My work table is a 6' long $40 table bought at Walmart (the kind with the plastic top and metal fold up legs). I created a skirt using yards and yards of fabric that I had kept since the 80's when I used to do alot of sewing and before my scrapping days. I trimmed the raw edges with several yards of cloth ribbon. It's held onto the table with velcro tabs. The green bed tray (front) was another yard sale find and holds a vintage sewing basket filled with nice trims. I'll show that later. My husband was wonderful enough to build some 'built ins' around some of my Sterilite containers you can see in the back. My shelves are loaded with stuff.<br />

Note: I have ALOT of scrapping supplies, but a third of them are also my daughter's. Yes, my youngest daughter who is 26 now scraps with me. Let's continue the tour:<br />

As you move forward toward that small table I mentioned above, this is what you see. Here's my desk from my childhood. I used an old strainer to hold mini mini albums from swaps. I also have a collection of heart-shaped rocks that I and my family have found on various beaches here in Maine. My basement room is paneled from the previous owners and the cement floor was painted an awful fire engine red. The only option I had at the time was to cover some of it with a white carpet left over from when my oldest daughter moved out. </div>

Here, you can see the carpet mentioned above. This is standing at the door to the basement, looking completely to the right. My paper stacks were purchased at a close out sale for $25! The black one to the right of the photo was bought at Walmart--I can't remember the name of it. As you can see, I've used an assortment of birdhouses, dried roses, items from swaps and soft dolls to decorate my space.<br />

This is the view looking of my work table. I covered the black desk chair with an old sheet, curtain valance and cushion to give it a more 'shabby' look. I really need to change it though. I've been putting it off for a year now. The Sterilite container in the front holds lots of blank chipboard minis yet to be created. It's rare to see my table so clean, but I did it for the tour. It'll be messy before long. <br />

Here you can see another built in made by my husband which holds boxes and boxes of scrapping supplies. More on that later. To the right of the built in is a white bookcase given to us by a neighbor that fits the smaller Sterilite containers perfectly. I covered the fronts of the containers with scrap paper. I thought it gave the room a more co-hesive look, plus I didn't want to see what I had inside--it just made the room look more cluttered. Right in front of the photo is my home-made 'clip it up'. You can find the post here: <a href="http://scrapmomsmusings.blogspot.com/2012/03/my-homemade-clip-it-up.html">http://scrapmomsmusings.blogspot.com/2012/03/my-homemade-clip-it-up.html</a>.<br />

These items sit on a book case by my work table. I used a two tier wire "cupcake holder?" for my Ranger supplies that sits on a lazy susan. Next to that is a box holding all the cards I've received from swaps. Some of them are gorgeously hand made!</div>

This picture shows another lazy susan that holds an assortment of supplies--eyelets, scissors, glue sticks, paintbrushes, a jar full of blades for my cutter and a two-tier altered can holding pins and such. The troll in the back is the only one left from my childhood---I had dozens of them as a kid. And, in the front is a ceramic purse bought at a yard sale to hold more scissors, pliers, Xacto knives.<br />

This is the view from the opposite side of the room (built in units). These bookcases came from my girls rooms when they were kids. The white one is crammed with mini albums I've received in swaps or made myself. The brown book case holds smaller paper packs, album sleeves, large chipboard pieces, Project Life items and God know what else! The top of that book case also displays more mini albums. To the left are two book cases that was once part of an entertainment center than I decided to keep for this room when we moved. <br />

And, I wasn't sure if I was going to share this, but I decorated the beam with an old rose garland and a paper garland from my daughter's shower. The wooden frame is hung there to eventually display photos that I'll hang from the wire hanger. My room is always evolving. I'm glad you hung out this long to view my basement scraproom. I hope you'll visit more often and please check out my other posts.<br />

Thanks for visiting!<br />

<br />
I hope you'll join me and several other crafters on Saturday, July 12th for Karen Valentine's "Where Bloggers Create" blog party! This is Karen's 6th year doing this and it's a wonderful hop to see where other creative bloggers work (and play) and to give others inspiration as well. I've been doing this blog hop for 5 of these years and each year I find more and more ways to make my happy place more creative and better organized. And. . . I've been told I have helped others as well. That puts a huge smile on my face.<br />
<br />
So please join me over at My Desert Cottage this Saturday for loads of inspiration! Please click the widget on my side bar which will take you there. <br />

This party is dedicated to all of us who love to create with paper. <br />
<br />
A month ago, I created an altered Pringles can for a swap over at <b>Your Paper Pantry</b> for the "Populart" group. I loved making this for Emma. So, this is perfect to share over at Cottage Paper Crafts.<br />

I used paper from the Die Cuts With A View paper pack <i><span style="color: #e06666;"><b>The Primrose Stack</b></span></i>. I used a border punch to cut a trim for the top and bottom of the can. I also used flat faux pearls to hide the raw edge of the border, plus it dressed it up as well. The script paper is from Recollections and over that is a scrap piece of paper I had on hand. Other layers I used was a doily with a label that reads "Shabby" (Emma loves the shabby chic look), flowers, leaves, a vintage key from K&Co., an ephemera ticket, bling flourishes and a butterfly.<br />

The above two photos show the cover. I used a large crystal 'knob' along with an assortment of flowers, a crystal beaded stem along with a punched 3D butterfly that is actually 'flying above' the can. I attached it to wire so it 'floats' in the air. I also used a Tim Holtz adagio ticket.<br />

These pictures show the back of the can. I wanted to hide the seam of where the papers meet in the back so I punched this piece using the same punch as I did for the top and bottom of the can. I inked the edges (along with the other papers) to give it that vintage look. The scrap of paper which is the layer with the label "shabby" on it is the 'corset' for this can. I saw this on line and had to use the idea. <br />

Here are some close ups of the front showing the layers of flowers and the butterflies I added for a whimsical touch. I hope my partner enjoys her can. Oh, we had to fill it with lots of goodies, but I didn't take pictures of those items. <br />

I created it for a swap over at <b><i>Mini Album Scraps</i></b> and it's so hard to give it away, but I know I'll get a beauty in return. Although I've made several, actually dozens of minis, I had never made one in this style that Kathy Orta of <b><i>Paper Phenomenon </i></b>does. Her tutorial found here: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeAuRf-Zk-A">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeAuRf-Zk-A</a> on YouTube is in four parts and is quite easy to follow. There is tons of 'real estate' for photos and journaling which is what I love about this mini.<br />
<br />
So, here's my Envelope Mini now finished and ready to mail:<br />

These shakers are designed to hold glitter or very small beads or other items that are small enough to be poured out. I couldn't find any vintage shakers, so I bought some modern ones at my local dollar store and used alcohol inks to color the chrome. I then added layers of lace, a large crystal bead to the top for a 'topper' of sorts and a Prima rose, feather, glitter flower, and a key to dress up the front. I used rose ribbon trim to cover the seam in the back. This swap was to make 3 and get 3 different ones back. I'll share with you what I get back once I receive them.<br />
<br />
The other swap was for the Artful Inspiration Deck group. This is the second month in which we alter some playing cards according to the theme of that month. For this one, it was to use decorative paper napkins. And, again, we had to use a quote or a prompt. My prompt was to "<i>imagine an enchanted place and create it in your journal using magazine clippings, drawings and mixed media</i>". Here's a look:<br />

I had to make 20 this time around and saved one for me to add to the other assorted ones I'll get back. The fronts are decorated with a napkin of flowers and butterflies. I painted the back with 3 different colors--greens, sky blue and a mauve. I then stamped a butterfly with Staz On ink then added my prompt outlining it in black marker. <br />
<br />
I'm also in the <span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>Travelogue group</b> </span>over at <span style="color: #660000;">Mini Album Scraps. </span> I'll share that in another post. Here's a sneak peak:<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My daughter found a crayon art project on YouTube and decided she wanted to make one. So, off we go to Walmart, after getting my hair cut, to buy canvas, crayons and paint. There are two different techniques she's going to do. One is what you'll see below, the other is gluing the crayons to the canvas and melting them downward to create a design. We only did one project today.</span><br />

I can't wait to see what I get back!<br />
<br />
These pockets I made are for the "Pockets For Your Thoughts" swap and the theme was Vintage Valentine. I made three nearly identical pockets--they do vary a bit---and I'll get three different ones back. I'm thinking of making a very small mini out of them. We'll see. I also did a video of the pockets that can be found here: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rf3E1e14iYA">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rf3E1e14iYA</a><br />
<br />
Here are the pictures of the pockets: They are jam-packed with tags and we also had to send in a small goody for the receipient. I sent each one a small package of flowers from the dollar bin at Michael's. <br />

The other swap I was involved in was the "Artful Inspirations Deck". For this swap we had to alter 14 playing cards and use a creative prompt for mixed media or for art journaling on one side. My prompt was "alter an image from a magazine or book" and then I created a 'mini page' using that technique on the other side.<br />
