Be Thankful............

Hello all my blogger friends! I hope your week is going good and you're getting ready for all of the festivities next week.

I am so thankful for all of my family, friends and all of you out there in blogger land.I know I don't know you personally, but I feel we have a common bond, our love of crafting.

I am posting the handmade Thanksgiving card that I am mailing out this week. This is another one of those simple but pretty cards that I came up with. I came across one similar on Pinterest and I tweaked it a bit.

Thank you for stopping by. I hope the rest of your week goes well. Hugs Brenda

Time has come..............

Hi, all my blogger friends! I hope your week has gone well and you are enjoying the weekend? It's that time of year when I have to set my clocks back an hour. I hate this time of year! It takes me forrrrr everrrrr to get use to this time change. I didn't have a problem getting up this morning because the sun was shinning in my eyes at 7:30, but I guarantee that when it gets dark at 5: 30, my body will be shutting down for the night. LOL! Yes, Fall is here! Fall is my favorite time of the year, I just don't like the time change.

Okay, I'm off my soap box now! I do have a couple of Handmade Thank You Cards that I want to share with you. I got this idea off of Pinterest. These are very simple and I was able to get a few done in a hurry. I need to get them in the mail tomorrow.

I just wanted to share. I hope you like them and try to make a few for yourself? As always! Thanks for stopping by. Have a great week! Hugs Brenda

Happy Halloween!

Hello everyone! I hope you all have had a good week? I love this weather we are having here, just outside of Savannah Ga. The Fall brisk air is delightful, the windows are up and it feels wonderful!

I've been playing a little and having fun making Halloween cards.

Here is the latest handmade Halloween card I've been working on. . I don't know if I'll have the time to enter it into any challenges, but that's okay.

Well this is short and sweet, I hope you like the card and make some of your own. I do enjoy sharing with you all and I am so thankful for everyone stopping by. Come again soon! Hugs Brenda

Work Shop Wednesday # 2.....................Scrapbook Page/Booklet

It's Wednesday and time for another work shop. The work shop today is a scrapbook page/a little booklet too! I have found that this particular paper craft goes over very well for a baby shower gift. You make a scrapbook page all about baby and add a gift card inside. This is an excellent gift for a scrapbooker mom, that will not have a lot of time to scrap.

Tools you will need:
scoring tool
bone folder
paper trimmer
scissors

1.) score a 6in. score line down the center of a 12x12 sheet of scrapbook paper, making four 6 in. squares.
2.) cut up to the center of one of those score lines.
fold as shown below. There you have a booklet.

3.) Open booklet and embellish as you would any other scrapbook page, not to overlap the scorelines. Now you have a scrapbook page.
4.)After embellishing your page, fold back into booklet form.
5.) Make sure you decorate and embellish the front cover, because that is your presentation.





This scrapbook page/booklet has a lot of potential. You are only limited to your imagination.

Like I said, this is a great gift for any occasion. Think new mom, 25th or 50th wedding anniversaries, birthday's, Christmas gift, and even a teacher would enjoy this. This would even be an excellent gift for those non scrappers, because this is something complete and all they have to do is show off the pictures.


Well as always, thank you for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed this project. Let me know what you think and if you tried making one. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Hugs to all! Brenda
