Valentine's For Kids

I am finally able to do a Kid's Club for Valentine's. I am so excited and can't wait to help the kids make their valentines for their friends and classmates, their teacher and parents or grandparents.


This year I am going to go animal theme for the Valentine's cards to give to their friends and family. The credit for these cute little 3x3 cards goes to several CTMH consultant as they posted their ideas on the CTMH board. I don't know who started it so thanks to the person who created this and sharing it with us. The children will be making 5 of each cards for a total of 25 cards.

I found these cute plastic heart containers at a local scrapbook store. I am planning on getting some candy to put in these containers. What a sweet present for a sweet person--their teacher!! :)

The most important person in a child's life is their parents or grandparents. I decided to make little mini tri fold card for the children to let their parents or grandparents know how much they love them. Plus a little extra surprise will be included--well let's say it's a suprise :-) Thus why I didn't include the picture of the project (I will after the workshops have been completed!!)

....picture coming soon....

I finally got to play with my new felicity collection last week/weekend (I have been on a roll with my projects!!). The reason I scrapbook is to record those special memories! This event I scrapbook is one of the rare events where it is just my dad and I doing something. I am a huge country fan and was so excited when I heard Reba was going to do a concert!! How blessed I was when my dad was able to get tickets from work!! How perfect the pictures I had match the colors of this collection. I hope you enjoy these 6 pages with rodeo and Reba McEntire concert pictures. These are my new favorite that I am adding to my album!

page 5 and 6

Extra pictures hidden--didn't want to do another layout espically since some of the pictures were repeats.


Now that I am done scrapping these I am so super excited about going to the Tim McGraw concert with my sister and possibly a few friends in a few week!!! Such fun time with special people!!!

Sweet Home Cards

The first three cards are from the pattern found in the Sweet Home Workshop on the Go guide. Isn't it fun and amazing to see one pattern make three very different cards!






The next three cards are from the how to book: Orginials. The pattern is called Overview. Again how fun to see three different cards from one pattern.

Part 2 of Sweet Home

Okay here is the second layout I made from the Sweet Home workshop. The layout is using the same cutting guide as yesterday only difference is different paper from the sweet home paper pack. This is my "Before Meets After" layout. Enjoy!!









The workshop on the go also provides two more layouts that you can create using this paper pack. The cutting guide is provided in one of CTMH's how to book Cherish: Puzzle Junkie. My mom gave me this idea--to put the Christmas pictures (and any other pictures I get from friends and family in a scrapbook and have them all together. What a great way to see those kids grow up!! This is my layout I created--I have blocked out the names and pictures as I didn't get permission from the mom to show their pictures. :-)

Come back again as I plan on posting the Sweet Home cards I have made from the card making workshop on the go!! Have a great Thursday!

Sweet Home Workshop on the Go

It has been awhile since I have posted on my blog. I could list many excuses why not...but the main reason is I haven't been motivated to work on my scrapbooking and cardmaking projects lately. I did some rearranging in my room and reorganized my scrapbooking/cardmaking supplies and that seems to have helped!! (I will post pictures of my "new" room at another date!) Plus I was busy with a few craft fairs and of course the Christmas season can keep one busy with extra activities happening!

Anyways here is my project that I really really struggled with...to be honest it wasn't a favorite paper pack...I just couldn't get into it as it seems antique looking to me and I felt I didn't have any pictures for it. Thankfully I keep racking my brain for pictures I had and found a few that I could use. AND I still have a few more pictures to use up for this paper pack that I haven't gotten around to scrapbook yet!!

Every other month I have a club that meets at the hostess' house (the hostess is the one who gets the hostess reward for the month) and we put together the workshop on the go she has picked out. This month the hostess Karen picked out the Sweet Home paper pack. We will be meeting at her house this Friday, January 22nd. If you are interested in attending this workshop please contact me by sending me a message via this blog or send me an email to scrampercorner@hotmail.com and I will send you more information about this workshop.

Here are the pictures of the layout I have created to give you an idea of what we will be making.

I decided to use the pictures I took of my apartment in IL before I moved back to Texas. These two layouts are of just the living room...Hopefully soon I will get the other rooms done using that paper pack.
