The One with the Scrapbook Goodie Boxes

I've made 17 flat rate goodie boxes with SO MUCH STUFF in each one! Here's how they came together: First, I sorted and divided the patterned papers. I've got brands like American Crafts, Crate Paper, Studio Calico, Pebbles, Jillibean Soup, Jenni Bowlin, Basic Grey - all the bigwigs :) Then I piled on the embellishments. Then I stuffed all that in the boxes and started NEW piles of embellishments...

The One with the Layout Featuring Thickers

I had a layout up on the American Crafts blog the other day featuring one of my most favorite scrapbooking products ever - THICKERS!

How to: Notch the corners of a gray cardstock base, drop white mist across it, and draw a border using a black pen. Adhere two photos on the bottom using...

The One with the Scrapbook Purge

I have waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much scrap crap :) I've been hoarding it since I was 16, so 11 years now (wait, lemme double check my math, 27 - 16 = 11.

And this time I'm getting...

The One with Jane at 1 Month

Here we go again! Today our little Jane is one month old!

The One with August 2012 American Crafts Layouts

So, here are my monthly projects for American Crafts.

The One with the Pacifier Miracle

Crossing my fingers I don't jinx us by writing about it after only 4 days of success... If you've read this blog for awhile or scrolled through the pictures you know that Fox is mildly (okay, completely) obsessed with his pacifier. He's been sucking on that thing all day every day since day one. What can I say, he's a sucker :)  Getting a picture of him without a pacifier is a rare and...
