So after waiting too long for my photos to arrive I finally got them yesterday! I worked hard all day adding them to my new mini album that I worked oh so hard on. I love Cosmo Cricket paper and embellishments and this album I think shows how much I adore them so Cosmo Cricket crew if you're reading this... I LOVE YOU.
Here's the album I hope you like it (this is my first ever mini).

A new layout!

I'm entering this layout for the Sketchy Thursdays sketch 11.5. I made this layout using a few techniques I've learned at http://balzerdesigns.typepad.com/about.html.
I'm loving this class but just haven't had a lot of time to try out the techniques. So here is one I attempted last night using plain white cardstock, distress inks, gesso, Kaiser craft flowers, glimmer mist (on flowers). I used the distress ink with lace cardstock to create the blue/purple swirls I then used the straw blowing technique for the sort of splatters that look like bird poop ; )
I hope you like it!

Stay tuned...

So I have been a busy gal. My parents have been here visiting for the past 10 days so I only got a little bit of scrapbooking done. I did however manage to create my very first mini album. I am just waiting for my pictures. Once they are added I will post some pics. Once my guests have flown the coop I will get a little more scrapping done!!!! I'm also taking a mini album class at my LSS using Cosmo Crickets "Earth Love" I'm super excited but after the one I just made I think I could be teaching ; D

I'm taking an online class over at http://balzerdesigns.typepad.com/  Julie Fei-Fan Balzer is fabulous. Here is one layout I did using our 1st technique with elmers glue.

I'm on a role

Ok, now that I have figured how to post pictures on here and managed to access my photos finaly I will show a few of the layouts I did last week. Keep in mind I am in the middle of reno's and have 2 little wee ones that keep me busy. I'm hoping to get more done soon and do a little bit more glamorous layouts. I have yet to journal (you'll notice the blank spots) I had writers block 

I used Sassafras Me Likey, white cardstock.

The next layout I used Cosmo Cricket Earlybird

Here it is!!!

I can't believe I did it. I am fairly new to the blogging world and this is my very first time posting about my scrap habit. So please be kind!

This is a Halloween wreath that I did thanks to my new scrapblog friend Beth Perry. She's pretty fantastic and very inspiring. She convinced me into making something from the Scrapjacked Blog. So this is for you Beth!
