*fun little project*



I wanted to share a fun little project today! :) To make this mini portfolio, You need to print 15-20 layouts in wallet size (or if you do 12x12 something comparable to wallet size). I've found it is better for this particular project to use all 12x12 OR all 8.5x11s. Then just handstitch a felt pouch to fit (I just use regular embroidery thread). Embellish it with buttons, flowers, chipboard or metal embellishments. These make cool gifts for family members! :) Have a good sunday! Els

taxes=boring




so Emma and I were sorting receipts for tax stuff this morning and we got a little bit distracted and so we made *LoveLove* a crown from a Starbucks cup holder! :) lol! ok.. back to work! ha!

today....


i am hanging out with my step mom, Robin, all day and getting family photos printed! Ever since CHA (i used up a lot of my good photos for booth projects) I have been DYING to get photos printed, but who has the time? I love Sam's Club because you can get 8x12 prints for $1.99. Heaven. I think I just love BIG photos... I know 4x6s are more practical, but big photos are for sure my first love! :) I can't wait to scrap these family photos.
Lately, I am on a huge organizing kick. HUGE. I think it is bc. i know in the back of my mind that we will most likely be moving this year, so I want to have everthing in order. Or, maybe it is Spring Fever? Either way, I am just glad I am getting some things done! :)
Have a great friday!

Here are a few detail shots of some layouts I recentlyposted.
Also, some pics of my recent obsession.. shoe shopping. :) gonna do a page about it eventully... just taking pics as i go along...
I am also getting really OCD in the head and thinking that i *need* to take all my albums apart and redo them in these beauties. i love felt. lovelovelovelove it!
