I bought my first ‘scrapbooking book’ today. It’s called “Better Scrapbooking” by Vanessa-Ann. I was flipping through it and wasn’t sure if I should buy it or not. There were a few good pages, and I didn’t think it’d hurt to buy since it was only $3 after the Target sale. ;) Plus, I need [...]

Daisy Hill Embellishments at Target (On Sale)
I stopped by Target today for food, and I had to see if there were still any scrapbook supplies left. The Target near my house is clearing out all their scrapbok stuff. Last week they were 50% off, and now, they were 75% off! Oh the joy! Unfortunately, a lot of the supplies were already [...]
Tag made with “Anna Griffin” products
The last project we worked on was an emboss tag, using stamps, brass stencils, and paper by Anna Griffin. First, we got one of those tags and cut up a square and rectangle of the neutral colored paper, and then a rectangle piece of the green paper. We used a Fiskar 9″ Personal Paper Trimmer [...]
Card-Making using “Me and My Big Ideas” Stickers
The third project we did was a card-making one. They had Me and My Big Ideas stickers for us to use along with the cardstock paper. They used the Fiskars 12″ Rotary Paper Trimmer for Crafts to cut the paper. I really love this tool. Cutting straight edges was so easy. And the nifty thing [...]
QwiKit Scrapbook System
The next project I worked on at the Scrapbook Discovery Day was this QwiKit scrapbook page. I don’t think this is my best work because I’m usually inspired by my pictures to make layouts. This scrapbook page doesn’t really have a true theme, so I don’t like it too much. But, I think the supplies [...]
K and Company Tag
This was the first project I made at the Scrapbook Discovery Day at Michael’s. This tag was pretty easy to make too. The paper we used were made by K and Company. The flowers, stamps, ruler, and dictionary you see in the tag are all from printed paper. The first thing we did was take [...]
Simple Shadow Box Project
Shadowboxes were on sale this week at Michael’s for 50% off, so I had to pick up two. I was going to get one of the big ones, but I decided to start small first. I’ve been fascinated with shadowboxes ever since I saw some at Target for Valentine’s day. I didn’t get one then [...]
Tarepanda Scrapbook Page
Some of you may have already seen my Tarepanda page a while ago, but I want to post it again this new site. :) The page took me about 4 hours to make. I got the idea from this Tarepanda stationary I had, and I thought it’d go great with this photo of Albert and [...]
First Time at Michael’s
I remember my first trip to Michael’s… I was trying to buy a few things to get started with scrapbooking. A new store opened up right after Halloween of last year, and I couldn’t wait to go. When I got there, I was so happy to see all the sales! I got a few of [...]

National Craft Month
It’s National Craft Month! Crafting is an enjoyable activity that continues to gain popularity because of all the benefits it provides. It helps reduce stress, builds children’s self-esteem and learning skills, is emotionally pleasing, and most importantly – it’s fun. Nothing is quite as satisfying as making something with your own hands – no matter [...]
