Toilet Paper Mini Album

A long time ago I caught wind of people making albums out of Toilet Paper Rolls......

I then posted on facebook asking all my friends to save their toilet paper rolls for me. I have hundreds of them now and this is the album I created out of them.

If you want to learn how to make one email me and I will be happy to tell you how I did it. If you live near the Youngstown, Ohio area....I would be happy to create a kit for you and teach you to assemble it.

Post It Note Holders!

Glasses Case...One of a Kind!

Judy and I found these cool wooden cases at Michaels... I immediately thought I would make it into a case for my glasses.

I just love my Tim Holtz stamp set! The butterfly is embossed on it.... 

Craft Show Previews

Life is a Journey!

I just couldn't sleep last night so, I decided to start making my mini album in an altoids tin.

I wanted it to look antique....Here is what I came up with.

Video Feature of the BOX!

If you click the link above, I created a video of my box.

Here are some pictures:

Christmas Presents

My friend Brenda called me up and asked me to help her create special Sketch Books for her granddaughters.

This is what we came up with.

Notebook

I make little altered notebooks. This one was a Thank You card/notebook!

Altered Photo Album

I found really plain photo albums at a discount store and I just had to alter it. I made this one special for my Aunt Lorraine!

The Kitchen Table Project! I bought the table at a Garage Sale for $25.00. I painted it and reupolstered the chairs for $30.00. Not too bad!

I made this photo album cover for the primary giveaway in our ward for Halloween.

I made this notebooks for stocking stuffers.

I discovered through friends that people make ATCs (Artist Trading Cards) for scrapbooking conventions. I had to have my hand in the making of them.... :-)

Here is what we came up with..... I love butterflies. Can you tell?

I loved this one. HelenRae has all the stamps for puzzle pieces and then I went to the dollar store and got a puzzle and used distress ink on it!

One of my favorite stamps....I borrow all the time!

A few of these are HelenRae's

This was the Valentine's day gift I handed out. I love using the pillow boxes they are soooooo cute! I used my gypsy and my Art Philosphy Cartridge and cut the heart out of the pillow box. I then used the heart cut out on the tag! So Fun!

This was the first one that I made... I liked it a lot better.

I made a little envelope book of my wedding pictures and when I was showing it around school one of the women said....oh! Can you make me two of those a little bigger..... I went home and made two nice envelope books. One of my first paid jobs :-)

My favorite one is the one with only the "M" on the cover, but the woman that they were made for really wanted the whole name on the cover. So, that is how I made the second one. I love the flowers. They were made with my Close to my Heart Art Philosophy Cartridge!

I made this altered notebook for my friend Nicole. I loved it...... On the back I embossed a series of butterflies. I think it is really cute. I wish this picture was a little lighter...but you get the hint! so cute!
