Fashion for the Scrapbooker

I’m in love with some of the clothing, shoes, accessories, and “randoms” at ModCloth.com

They have some very unique things I can’t find in my town… and at really affordable prices! I thought I’d share their website with you in case you’re on the hunt for something special, unique, artsy, or different that your everyday :)

Party Inspiration – Cute Decor Ideas!

I grabbed this from the GCD Studios blog… loved their ideas and execution of fun party accents and favors:

Hello!!! It’s me again (Lori). Before I share the tutorial with you I want to show a couple of other things that can be created for a party. They are easy and inexpensive to make. I got the ideas from marthastewart.com. The silverware pockets were originally to be made from fabric. But I thought it would be easier (and just as cute) to make them from paper. I made these three in approx. 30 minutes. Here’s the link http://www.marthastewart.com/photogallery/60-outdoor-party-ideas#slide_54

Product Review: Teresa Collins Sports Edition Album Kit

Love this take on a sports album!

I was drawn to the Teresa Collins Sports Edition Album Kit because my own teenage sons are very involved in sports and I am always looking for unique sports-themed patterned papers and embellishments.  As it turns out, I used this kit to create an album as a graduation gift.

Green Crafting: Steampunk Pin Jewelry

from Erin Bassett’s blog, CreativitE

Erin_Bassett-GlueArts_Inspire-Brooch 

Well with the CHA trade show looming close I have burned through quite a lot of adhesive…and of course I saved all my cartridges instead of throwing them in the recycling container so I could play around with them and see what else I could make with them.  Well…this is what I came up with this time, two jewelry pins.  One for me & one for a friend of mine.  I’m not really sure if they are “steampunk” style or not…but I couldn’t figure out what other style they could be LOL.  To top that off I don’t know if I should call them a “pins” or “brooches” either.  Guess I need jewelry identification 101.  :)

Scrapbooking on Canvas

I was over at ScrapVillage.com today and found a really cool article on canvases and how to make decor and gifts in a scrappy way!

It can be intimidating looking at a big, blank canvas. I know I was overwhelmed when given the opportunity to design for Canvas Concepts. Hopefully this article will show you how to have fun with canvas and feel comfortable creating “outside the album!”
