Spooky Pocket Page

Hey everyone! Today is have videos showing how I put together the Four pocket page for my Spooky TWS swap album. I learned how to make this type of page from Laura Denison(http://FollowingThePaperTrail.blogspot.com), she is a HUGELY talented woman. She did a tutorial on this and I knew I had to try it. I am sure most of you have either seen this or tried it yourselves. It was SO easy! I love this page and will definitely be incorporating them into a lot of my minis in the future! I hope you enjoy it!

Coming up next in this video series, I'll show the completed album!

Spooky Album inserts

I was so super excited for these pages. I got the idea from a card made be Kristina Werner for the Year in Cards series at twopeasinabucket.com. I could see it right away - an apple instead of a pumpkin or a Jack o Lantern. I knew when I saw the theme of Spooky for the TWS swap I knew these were perfect. I love how they turned out.

I used a few resources for this mini. I used this free card template from Two Peas and altered it to fit my needs. I used Free paper piecings from scrapbooksetc.com for a skeleton, haunted house and candy. I used these as embellishments and they are awesome! There are great free templates, images and more that are there free just waiting to be incorporated in a mini! I hope you like these page inserts. Stay tuned for a pocket page and the review of the whole album. Coming Soon!

Spooky Page 1

So here I create the first page of my TWS spooky album. I love how this page turned out. I make some custom tags and do some distressing. I hope you like these videos! Next I will show how I make the cool insert pages so stay tuned for that video on Sunday!

I hope you all have a great weekend!

Spooky Cover

I am involved in my first mini album swap! It is for the Trade Wind Scrappers swap hosted by Kathryn at the Life at the Scrap Beach Community (See the side button). This month's theme is "Feelin' Spooky". So much fun! I am making 2 albums at the same time because I intend to either keep one or give it someone in my family. I am using the paper I got at Target in the dollar section. I hope you like this first video in the series.

Finn Friday!!

I was looking through my old Flip videos the other day and came across this one of Finn rolling around in catnip flowers. We srpinkles catnip and fcatnip flowers on the table and he went Nuts. It was so super cute I had to share it. Maybe now you guys will believe me when I say he's a terror. He is playing/attacking his kitty. When I first decided I need to get a kitten my mother gave me this beany baby gray and white kitten with a pink bow. When we went to the animal shelter and saw Finn (a gray and white boy kitten) it was like fate!

He loves this thing. He sleeps with her, bites her even cleans her. He has loved her since day one, when he was actually the same size as her. It is too cute and I hope you enjoy the video!

P.S. - It also shows the durability of beany babies because he has had this one for 5 years and as you can see she takes a beating and has never ripped (knock on wood!).

Enjoy your Finn Friday video!

Mini Hauls ~ Great deals!

Hey everyone! I have a bunch of little hauls today all lumped into one. I recently went to Target, JoAnn's and Michaels! I found a few things I hadn't seen before! I start my TWS October swap today. (Trade Wind Scrappers - Life's a scrapbeach community). I will be filming pieces of it but you will have to wait till my partner Mary receives it before I share it with you! However a sneak peek at some of the supplies can be seen here. Enjoy!
