At least I got a few things done this month -- Scrapbook pages -- a few cards -- one was a total challenge -- and I just love challenges --- a "POP-UP BOX CARD" ----- it came out sort of good, although I just used scrap papers -- I tried to put together papers that would sort of match, but it still came out OK....the next one I make, I will definitely give more thought to before I leap to putting these types of cards together.
Now I have to fix the alignment -- sheesh!!! Thank goodness it worked!!! Now I have to try to do a really good one!!! Ok, now I'm going to upload the cards I just did (I must be on a roll -- not really or I would have more than this done in a month -- I wanted to challenge myself and try for 1 card a day -- that's a dream -- I'll just have to keep plugging away !!) I do love to craft cards -- I also want to do some mini-albums for my family -- like cousins and such -- little by little.
This is the inside of this challenging card from a tutorial I saw on Splitcoast Stampers -- a craft website that I belong to. It was easier than I thought it was going to be. I love making those bows!! Now for the front ---
The tutorial was all about the inside stack of presents for this challenge. To me, I think doing the front of the card was more challenging than the inside. I kept thinking -- "What can I do??, What do I do with this????" I finally figured it out...but it was exasperating!!! Sometimes it comes easy and other times --- days!!
Now for the finale of this blog this evening ---- My scrapbook page of " The 3 Generations" -- It is a picture of me, my dad, and my dad's mom -- my grandmother " Baba Waterbury" !!!
I love the way this page came out!! I started reading a book on Scrapbooking (I have a few of them), and this was a very interesting book. I was trying to do pages that would have more than one picture. This particular book had quite a few interesting ideas of different types of pages and subject matter. One chapter talked about 1 picture pages. I am starting to learn more about embellishing a scrapbook page.....So this page is my 2nd pride and joy (the first one was my prom pages). I'm hoping I can see if I'm getting beter at it as I go along.
Well, it is REALLY late now - like quarter to two in the a.m. ---- So, I better get to the bedside and under the warm, cozy covers -- like it's really C-C-C-O-L-D out there tonight!!!
Sweet Dreams, whoever may be looking at my blog!!!
Catch you later -- and hopefully I will make more of an effort to get more posting done!!!
MU-AH !!! Wish me luck for this coming year!!
