perks

I know I have said it before but I totally feel whole heartedly that if you find an entire kit of one line of paper and embellishments not only does it make the whole process of making your albums and scrapbook layouts but its cheaper too.

I wanted to show you what I got in the Doodlebug designs Patriotic kit I bought from CraftySteals.com and later share ALL the things I made using those pieces.

All this was included in the kit...

6 sheets of double sided paper plus 3 sheets of textured papers

Stickers, brads and journaling cards

rub-ons and puffy 3-d stickers

ribbon and some chipboard alphabets

all coordinating products

here's a video of all the goodness included in the kit.

Be back to share all that I made with all this awesomeness...

Happy Crafting

the 4th

I wanted to share my newest album which I made just in time for the 4th of July photos that you are currently printing (wink & smile)

I used the paper kit from Doodle Bug Designs and just fell in love with all the papers & matching embellishments.

Cute and cheery right?

I mean really aren't these pages just screaming America?

Love that there are the traditional red, white & blue and then a little bit of my favorite TURQUOISE thrown in!

Perfect color combination.

I have something new to share and hopefully I'll post it tomorrow or friday at the latest.

Come back and see me.

Mermaids

My secret fantasy has always been to be swimming in the ocean and running into a beautiful mermaid who speaks to me and gives me secret powers that only I can use and know about.

Now that I am all grown up - I still believe that there are mermaids out there but now-a-days they appear to be cute and sweet and magical sort of like they are pictured here in these 2 albums I just created using the fun papers by

Doodle Bug Designs - called UNDER THE SEA

remember my rule when purchasing scrapbooking supplies?

If possible buy the whole kit when it's available. You just get so much more out of the purchase which is useful when explaining to your husband why you need MORE paper. {wink}

Here is the first album that I made into a paper bag album and the pages tho...

too much cuteness all wrapped in this sweet mini scrapbook.

I mean the colors are so bright and pure happiness

Gah, totally girly, cute and great for swimming photos or summer vacations pics.

This is the 2nd album I created using the same paper kit. This time I made a 6 x 6 chipboard spiral bound album.

How dreamy is this cover?

The accents and die cuts that came with this paper pack are so fun.

Oh hello sweet Mermaid - you look just like I imagined...

If you would like to see the rest of the photos for both of these albums please check out my shop

Graduation Kit

Here is another fun kit that I wanted to share with you and show you how much you can make with all the pieces. It is the Graduation kit from DoodleBug Designs and its black, white, silver and golds...and some really cute embellishments. I wish I had a the whole kitpictured but I am sure you can find it online to see what comes in the kit...

This is the first album I made 

which I listed in my shop immediately and it SOLD - Yeah...

Here is the 2nd album I made using the same kit...

Here are just some of the pages in the album - and its made of chipboard and only has 6 pages - plan to list it tomorrow in my shop

then I made 2 cards with some of the extra embellishments 

oh and I was able to get one 12 x 12 scrapbook layout that I made as a pocket page. 

sorry for half a picture. Anyway, as you can see the possibilities are quite enormous - you can get alot out of scrapbooking kit, just keep making.
