Erin's DanceLine Book

This danceline book was designed by my daughter, Aymee. I only did the decorating on it. I made one ealier this year and when Erin's mom saw it she decided to order one also. These photos didn't take well at all. I didn't one that would show up for the "n" page. It is the PepRally page.

Thanks Kathy :) I hope you and Erin enjoy this book for many years to come.








Thanks for stopping by. Have a great week.

A Wedding Gift

My friend Kathy asked me to "make" something using a wedding invitation she recieved. She also told me that her niece (the bride to be) had just graduated at U of A (Roll Tide!) and would be living in Tuscaloosa. The invitation was printed with burgundy ink, so I chose to use it to make a picture. The background is black/white houndstooth check. Then, I triple matted the invitation to make it pop. Then, I used white and red cardstock for the lettering. When Kathy picked it up, she was so excited about the results. I hope you will enjoy it as well.

Congratulations Ashley!



Have a great weekend,

Mothers' Day Toilet Paper Roll Ablum

Welcome!

Recently, I was trying to find something for Mothers' Day that my buddy teacher and I could teach our students to make for this upcoming holiday. Aymee suggested that we look at the adorable toilet paper roll albums posted on the Cricut Messageboard. Well, we did, and loved them. So, we began collecting empty toilet paper rolls from our students as well as other faculty and staff members at our school. In order for me to be able to teach my students, I had to make one myself. Since I only had short periods of time to spend on these, it took me several days to construct. They are SO MUCH FUN to make. I know our students will enjoy this project too.

The tag in the first pocket is a quote, the tag in the second pocket has a pic of Carter mounted on one side and "Happy Mothers' Day on the other side (he wrote it himself), and the third pocket has a note that I wrote to my beautiful daughter-in-law. She is a great mother. I really appreciate her sharing Carter with us. I plan to give it to her for Mothers' Day.







I hope this little project will inspire to give it a try as well. Be warned, you may be hooked!

See ya later,

Carol :)

Shelby's Book

Here is another boardbook for a cheerleader. Shelby is best friends with Caitlan, so she wanted a cheerleader book too. I used the following Cricut Carts in construction of this book: Everyday PaperDolls, Lyrical Letters, Mickey Mouse. I also used my new SCAL Program.














As you probably remember, the tiger paw is a replica of one that is on our tiger walk. I also want to point out the little iPhone on the paperdoll that has on a dress.

Thanks for stopping by, and do come back soon.

A Book for Cody

I finally had a chance to scrap!!!! Last week was our Spring Break, so I had fun scrapping! Yah!!!

I made this book for a student in my homeroom. His mom and I were Buddy-Teachers for several years. I have worked on it for quite some time (between orders), and I decided last week that I was going to finish it before any other projects. I was going to wait until the end of this school year to give it to him, but I can't. I am too excited about it to keep it to myself! Cody is a fine young man. He is an excellent student and an awesome baseball player! I am so proud of him.

I used Everyday Paperdolls, Lyrical Letters, and Sports Mania Cricut carts along with my new SCAL! That's right! I took the plunge and got the SCAL program. I am still learning how to use it, but with Aymee's help and some playing around I will get much better.

Just click on each pic to get a better view.












Thanks for taking the time to visit,and please come back soon.

Awesome Weather

Hello,

We have been blessed to experience the most awesome weather lately. The trees have tiny leaves on them, and the grass is beginning to be green. Spring is my favorite time of year!

Well, I haven't scrapped lately due Ron's doctor appts. He will begin radiation treatments as soon as he heals a little more. Hopefully, I will have a chance to get back at it really soon. I miss making books and cards!

Have a great week,

Carol

Brrrrr!

Hello Everyone,

It is beginning to turn cooler here in NA. We are so ready for true "spring" weather. It has been cold, rainy, snowy, etc.. for quite some time. We are not accustomed to that in our neck of the woods.

Aymee has gone back to PA, and I really miss her. We had a great time working on cards and books. I learned how to use her SCAL program "somewhat" while she was here. I want to download that program to my "puter" soon. I did cut out 3 more books before she left. One is another DANCELINE book, one is another cheerleader book, and the other is a surprise for someone very special. I can barely wait to get them covered and personalized. I didn't work on them this weekend. I have, of all things, shingles. They are very painful and are interferring with my time to "play" with my scrappy stuff. I hope to be able to work on them some this week after school (on the days that I don't have homework - checking student's work/preparing for state testing).

I hope you have a great week. Please come back and visit with me soon.

Custom Boardbooks for Melissa and Kelly

Hello everyone! My daughter and I have been working on fulfilling a boardbook order. We have created 7 boardbooks for some of the fellow teachers that I work with. Here are the two books that I created.

I hope you will be able to see these pictures ok. My daughter, Aymee, did her best at taking photos. It has been raining here and she had to take them indoors. The pictures do not do them justice. They are very colorful, but maybe you can tell about them.

Note: I made this slideshow as big as possible, but it is still a bit tiny. If you will, visit this link where you can see the pictures bigger. I would recommend that you do follow the link because not only can you see the pictures bigger, but it will start at the beginning for you.

Be sure to hop on over to Aymee's blog to see the other boardbooks that we have done. There are 2 links:
