Free Printables

So, there's no secret that I love free print ables. They save you money, make things quicker and easier and are normally pretty darn unique if you know where to find them. Recently I happened upon a blog that I've fallen in love with. She does sell items on Etsy, however she's one of the few seller's I've encountered who also offer an endless number of fun and current print ables. I thought I'd share a few of the most recent today. If you haven't already you should totally head over to her blog and check some things out. It's called "Sweetly Scrapped."

HERE You will find some great tickets, overlays, banners, and so much more. I love how she does some with transparent backgrounds so they can be used with digi scrapping. I don't use any digi scrappin stuff but the plus side to this is you can print them as transparencies! How frickin cook is that.

HERE you will find some great tape strips and tags.

HERE are some adorable adn I mean really adorable dresses! LOOOVE them!

Here is the webiste for her and the links above take you to her blog. http://www.sweetlyscrapped.com/

A Year in Review Album

So, I began playing with this album, using a wide variety of mediums. There's masking tape, tissue tape, book pages, water color crayons, pan pastels, inks, stains, stamps, etc.

I began this with no idea what so ever of what I was going to use it for. I just knew I fell in love with it. I ran across a blog the other day where this gal (kicking myself for not saving the link), had created a year to remember album. I thought it was a nifty enough idea. I decided that's what the album will be, there's enough pages in it to do 12 monthly pages and then a few extras for maybe some 2 page spreads. I don't know yet if it will have pictures or just stories and information. But, I know it'll be perfect for a year in review. I have a few things to add to the cover to finish up the cover now that I know its purpose, but couldn't wait to share the progress thus far. I've also added a few other pieces that I'll showcase once I get the cover done. I haven't decided if each month I should finish a page to it or do them all at once and then just add to it as I go. What do you think? Don't you love the texture!! Love masking tape.

The Dollhouse

So, for Christmas my daughter got one of the fancy dollhouse's from Hobby Lobby. I thought since I used a ton of scrap booking stuff on it and a boat load of Helmar Adhesive (because it's the only one I trust to hold up with all types of things), I would share it on here. Here are some pictures from start to now. It's still not near finished with the outside needing more painting and the inside needing ceilings done, shingles and countless other things. We're letting her do as much as she can... painting what she can, picking out papers and colors, therefore the house will be yellow, pink and blue! So here it is thus far! Gonna need a ton  of helmar for the billions of 1x1 shingles that go on this. Oh ya and I totally glitter misted the stairs! Who says you can't have a little bling in your house! Not even goign to lie this has been sooo much fun!
