Sunday.Sunday.

It has been a whirlwind of activity at our house this weekend. We had mags' birthday party yesterday and spent a good part of today working on her science fair board...glad those scrapbooking supplies come in handy every now and then ;).

Here are the little books I made for the party. They are super easy to make. Just cut 6 2.5x7" pieces of paper, fold them in half and then glue them back to back. Cut a 12x2.5" strip...embellish the front and then glue on the paper to the front and the back of the book...then cut the remaining paper off.

This is what they look like:

orange birthday book

pink birthday book

the girls had a ton of fun...and made some of the cutest books I have ever seen!
I'll post some inside pics and some tips in the next few days!

Happy Birthday Mags!

Nine years ago today almost to the minute I gave birth to the most wonderful child. I never in my wildest dreams thought that she could be more spectacular or more perfect than she is in real life. She is a miracle and I never go through a day that I don't give up thanks for letting me share her life. I love her more than my words can possible express...so let me just say happy birthday little girl...and nine just seems way too old!

happy sunday

thought I would share the little mini Imade for my sister using my december Studio Calico kit...it is tiny, wallet size picture to be exact and inspired by Celine Navarro...there is a picture facing each page, but I couldn't figure out how to take a pic of it, so you just get to see the decorated side...that's the important side right?

Studio Calico Metropolitan LOs

I have been scrapping and not sharing and that makes for very bad blogging. It's rainy and cold today so I have some time to share some LOs I made using my Studio Calico Metropolitan kit. I loved this kit and have used up most of it except for the awesome die cut KI calendar page that I am saving for something this month!

superstar...mags on the day she received the principal's pride award for respect.

wrapping...the title pretty much sums it up.
