Hello Everyone!

I hope that you've been having a great week! So i've finally finished up editing Part 2 of the Mini Brag Book video.  

Check it out below! And stay tuned for Part 3, on the closure of the mini brag book! I'm hoping to have it edited a bit more quickly than this one as it is a much shorter video.

Scrappy Mom's Terrific Tuesday Challenge - Mother's Day

Happy Tuesday Everyone! 

I know that its SUPER late in the evening and I'm super tardy to posting my project....its been quite a busy and hectic day.  Our puppy Gem had an interview at a doggy day camp and overnight camp facility locally.  Needless to say, I was much more nervous then Gemma was ;)  But she did very well and got 'approved' to say for day and overnight camp!  HOORAY! One less thing to worry about when we are on our trip to orlando!

There I go rambling again...lol.  On to the real reason that you are here, Scrappy Mom's TTC!  For this week, we had to create a mother's day project!  Absolutely perfect timing to get any last minute cards and projects done before this Sunday! 

You can see on yesterday's post that i've created a mini brag book for my mother in law but I couldn't send it without a card :)  

Enter in todays project, a card to accompany my mini brag book!


I apologize that all of the images recently have been red head but being that Kirie has red hair, I think its only appropriate :) 

Hope you enjoyed! Be sure to check out the other design teams projects on the Scrappy Mom's Blog!

Back with a video?!?! What?!?!

Yup....crazy that I have a video up right?!?! hahaha, I wanted to show off a mini brag book that I've been working on for mother's day gifts :)  I thought you might want to see it before all the pictures cover up the pages.  Its a very simply brag book, but its perfect for my mother in law or mom to carry in their purse and "brag" about their first grand child :D

I used the Echo Park Bundle of Joy and coordinating Dots & Stripes paper pads to create the album, as well as your basic Kraft paper.  I'm using the binding method Stack the Deck by Laura at Following the Paper Trail. <<<

This is simply a preview video...I'm working on a tutorial but can only film while the wee little one is napping so that you don't hear her giggling, yelling, watching disney movies in the background ;) 

So take a look below! and check back soon for the tutorial! 


Be sure to check back tomorrow for a new Terrific Tuesday Challenge for Scrappy Mom Stamps!

A very late Scrappy Mom's Sneak Peak #3!

Happy Monday Everyone!

I hope that your week is off to a great start.  This card was done and to be posted on Friday, however, it got lost on my desk as I currently have Severaly projects going on and I'm trying to organize my space a bit better.  But better late then never right??  

So I'm using the "That's Entertainment" stamp set.  Incase you missed it, here it what it looks like: 

I thought that the image from Tiddly Ink would be perfect with the "Howdy Partner" sentiment :)  Its so simple yet just enough, or at leas I think so.  So here is how it turned out:

Hope you guys enjoyed!!
