Welcome..and here's what I just finished

Hello Everyone - well I'm not sure if there is anyone out there yet who is following my blog, but I'm sure in the near future there will be at least 6 followers of my blog (my husband, my BFFs Katie and Emelie, my dearest cousin Matty, my scrapbooking buddy Stacy, possibly my own mother and my mother in law), actually that looks like 7 followers! Whoop Whoop.

I started this blog as a way to show the scrapbooking creations I have made to inspire you to and in the hopes that one day I'll make it on to some design teams! and of course get some oooh's and ahhh's!

What is a design team you ask? Well, basically it's a team of ladies - though I'm sure men could be on it, just I haven't found a man scrapbooker yet - that share their creative scrapbooking ideas and techniques with us amateurs out there.  In Waterloo, there is a store, Two Scrapbook Friends, that is having "auditions" for their Design Team and I am working hard on putting together my portfolio to send over to them.  Their blog is fantastic, I highly recommend you bookmark it if you are into scrapbooking ideas.

So now on to my work - this week my challenge was to finish the 3D Advent Calendars I was making for my two nephews, Connor & Sam and my niece, Emma. I purchased these blank calendars from Karen Foster Design last year, and have only now got around to making them. The cool thing about these calendars is you can reuse them, the little drawers are about 1" by 1" so they fit little candies and chocolate perfectly.

Here are the first two I created

And the last one

The only thing left to do is to put a big C, E & S on top to distinguish who's calendar is who's.


Tonight's project: create my paper holder.....stay tuned to see what will I create with the following:

• A Curtain Rod
• 125 8" pant hangers
• a gazillion sheets of scrapbooking paper
