Summer flip book

Hey ya’ll I wanted to share this new style of scrapbook I started making - that I’m in love with. I’m calling it a flip book. Why? Well the pages are different sized and there are a lot of extra pages added so you technically flip thru the album to look at and insert the photos. 

Here’s one I just shared on Instagram 

Front cover 

Little inserts I added for journaling or photos 

Pages for photos 

Cute right 


This album holds approx 15+ photos - check out my Instagram for the short video showcasing each page. 

I’ll share my personal flip book later - it’s really cute 

Let me know if you like it. 

Happy hump day!

Crafty Girl Ideas #2

Here is another episode of

CRAFTY GIRL IDEAS

If you know me and this here ol blog then you know I am an avid paper crafter more specifically a scrapbooker and with that skill - there are always left over paper scraps and embellishments from used kits. 

I usually make mini paper bag album kits to sell - so that you can make something at home in your own style - well I also like to make tags and add them to packages when I ship out purchases.

I made a quick video to show you what and how easy they are to make 

enjoy

We are in full summer mode here at Casa Curtis - all the kids are off and we are slowly filling are summer calendar up with fun things to do.

Happy Hump Day!!!

Washi rescue-Crafty Girl Ideas

Hey ya'll, I know I am always sharing my new projects but I wanted to share  a new segment that I am calling #CraftyGirlIdeas

This is episode one:

I bought these really cute spring banners in the dollar spot at Target. You know how they change that space up with tons of new fun stuff - I swear I could go broke buying DOLLAR SPOT items - they add up quick...anyway back to my Idea

So I bought these 2 simple banners - cute but a little plain for me...being the crafty chick I am I have buckets of washi tape - that I rarely use but pulled out some and fixed my simple banners...into something stunning...

CRAFTY GIRL IDEAS-

Plain banners but with cute tassels on the bottom - so I tried to pick washi that matched

its not perfect but its super cute none the less.

I also added some washi to my cute MINI HEIDI SWAPP LIGHTBOX 

isn't she cute and better.

here is an up close shot of my banner on the door - I have two doors and 2 banners but as you can see the sun was not working with me --- Crafty Girl Ideas - not to bad right

Washi can fix anything!!!! I think so, anyway.

Happy Hump Day ya'll

New things to share

Hello thanks for stopping by today - I wanted to take a minute a share some new bits I have been working on . I know I shared some string art I started making awhile back and here are the newest pieces for the Spring season.

I am in LOVE with deer heads and had to try one with string and guys I think this came out FANTASTIC...I added some fun little pink paper flowers around its crown to finish it off.

Another obsession I have been having lately are GNOMES - not only am I sewing them up but now I tried them with string and eeekkk....i am so in love with these cuties.

To finish this off - I made a special one for this months holiday - ST. PATRICKS DAY!

I painted on the word to finish this baby up.

I cant wait to make more of these and add them to my mantel...

I am on my way to add to them to Instagram and then list them in my shop...

Hope your week has been the craftiest ---

Be back soon 

Hugs and more hugs

Happy New Year

Can You believe that it's 2017? Time sure does fly when you are having fun. Did some crafting this year, tried out some new album styles like this project life styled Disney album

Started making string art & fell in love with it. 

Now that the Holidays are over I am planning on lots of new things for the New year and this here ol' blog of mine.

My plan is to be more active here and share more of what I am making, hopefully sharing new videos and keeping you up to date with new craft shows I'm participating in 

If you have been with me for awhile - thank you for sticking with me. If you are new here, thanks for stopping by and hope you will stay tuned with whats ahead.

Wishing you a wonderful new year and noting but new fun and crafty adventures.

Never too soon

Not sure if you all do planning - I have kids so I plan ahead, with school functions and vacations I need to keep things on schedule. With that in mind, I thought I probably should get my crafting down on a planner so that I can keep things going with the seasons per se' So I am a step ahead here because I have started a bit early. I have this newly listed paper bag album in time for your upcoming grade school, middle school, high school and even colleges graduations. 

I used papers and embellishments by Doodlebug designs the "Graduation" line and isn't the album the cutest? If you would like to see all the photos for this album please visit my shop here is the link for that

Rainbows & sunshine

Another example of how I use the HECK out of one paper kit. This is my 3rd album - you can visit my Instagram account (@onecraftymess) to see the other albums I created using the same paper kit...

This is the cover I made using chipboard and o-wires to bind it...

Inside pages are super happy 

And cheerful

Great 6 x 6 size too

I live how these all came out and best part is there still so many pieces left over.

I am working on making some cards with the left over pieces.

I'll share them when I am done with those.

I mean doesn't this album just scream HAPPY to you?

Ok so until next time. Happy crafting
