Mini Scrapbook


I love pinterst.  I do! I have found one flaw though.... I pin things I want to do and then sometimes, when I go back later to actually do them the link is bad.  This happened to me yesterday.  I pinned a tutorial on how to make a chipboard mini scrapbook about 3 weeks ago and when I actually had time to do it the link had gone bad.  So I searched and searched for a replacement tutorial on how to make a mini scrapbook album out of chipboard and just could not find the same thing.  I found others, but I wanted the album to have a specific look. I don't care for the spiral binding or the ring bindings.  Anyway, I ran across a tutorial, which I've already lost, on how to make a 6" x 6" mini scrapbook album.  It was so simple and fast!  I made 7 of them in about and hour and the only reason I stopped is because I ran out of supplies.  I have to say, they are SO easy to make!  I think EVERYONE I know will be getting one or two this year!  The best part is they cost me about 0.12 cents each!  I caught the paper 50% off at Hobby Lobby and had the ribbon and white card stock already on hand!  I think this is a record for the fastest and least expensive gift ever!

Quilt in the works


Among my stash of fabric, I felt a quilt calling to me wanting to be made.  Here it is...still working on it.  I followed a tutorial from 'Rea' called 'Crayon box quilt tutorial'.
