Christina W. has been encouraging me to work on my scrapbook albums. She knows how much I love it and how much I want to finish them. It's been a blessing to have her encouragement!! I had several 8½x11 layouts made but wasn't sure what to do with them...convert them to 12x12, buy an album in the size of my layouts ??? She suggested I get a large 3 ring binder and place these layouts into sheet protectors. I decided I would use her suggestion so I bought a binder but I have been very busy lately! She asked me how the binder worked out with the layouts. I hadn't added them yet I told her. So instead of putting it off longer, as we chatted I quickly put the layouts together and in a few minutes I had all SIXTY layouts done! I am so jazzed that they are done! One more item to mark off my now SHRINKING TO DO list! I am so pleased that I am able to get a lot of these things done!
So here is the binder and you can see that I have room to grow in this binder. The great thing is I can decorate the front and spine anyway that I want or just leave it as is. For now it will remain as is. LOL
Here is one of the may layouts I have in here. This is of my dad playing various instruments including the steel guitar. He is an amazing musician and he teaches other people how to play, too, through video tutorials, classes and one on one sessions. I haven't journaled yet and for me that is different....I actually enjoy journaling! I just wanted to get these layouts in the protectors and in the album first. I will go back and journal as I get time.
Thank you for checking out my blog! Before I go, I want to give a shout out to my newest Angel Brooke! Yay!!! She just signed up and I know she is going to do well with TAC. It really is more fun to be an Angel! If you'd like to earn your wings, too, I'd love to talk with you further!Hugs,
Our new fall magalogue, Inspiration Avenue is jam-packed with 42 brand new stamp sets!! It's also a yearly publication so you will be able to order it for an entire year! There are some wonderful hostess sets in the Avenue, giving you even more to choose from! As a hostess you and your guests will have three catalogs to order from which leaves the only problem being needing a bigger order form!
If you want your copy of the Inspiration Avenue and haven't ordered yours yet, please let me know!
The 3 for 3 Hostess Club ladies will get theirs free as part of the club! I will order them today. I only offer this club once a year in the fall. It's a lot of fun for me to do and so far I've done this two years (this being the second) and only get one local lady each time, the rest are long-distance. I love that!! It's so fun to get to know people from all over this country and even some abroad who are eager to sign up!!
I would absolutely love to win this but I am an Angel so I cannot play! YOU can play and possibly win so click on the link and check it out! 
I really like this SOTM! Isn't it cute? We have squirrels and chipmunks that run from tree to tree in our yard and they move so fast! It's fun to watch them and my kids get so excited when they happen to spot one scampering about! If you have a $30 or more purchase you can order this set of 9 stamps for only $9.75! If you have an Angel let them know you'd like to order and if you don't have an Angel I would be happy to be yours!

These are the new Spring Into April Rewards. Here's how it works:
This is the front of the mini album. I have taken my BUTTERFLY SWIRLS stamp set (T-2929) and applied VersaMark (S-1179) then Silver Embossing Powder (S-767) then heat set the powder with my heat tool (F-163). The black cardstock (V-215) measures 2"x2" and the Winterberry (V-903) piece is 2"x4" on chipboard (H-102).
This is inside once the front covers are turned back. The top flap folds back to the left and the bottom flap folds back to the right.
The left piece measures 4"x3".
This is the last page and it also measures 4"x3".
The back cover is 4"x4" piece of chipboard and it is embossed with the Butterfly Swirls stamp set, also. I hope you like this project. It was fun to try it out. I wasn't sure how to make it at first but I think it turned out pretty well. If you want to see more fun creations with this stamp set, please check out my friend
