C'est Magnifique Pocket page challenge for January

It's time for another fun challenge up on the C'est Magnifique blog today!  Since

there are so many of you that do pocket pages we have a few ideas to share with 

you using the new kit available this month.  I did mine using the tags page that comes

in it and made a quick and simple page for some upcoming photos i need to do.

Since the object of this way of scrapbooking should be quick and simple i went ahead and started

by using the cards that come on the tag page as my center line.  Here i can add journaling if i

need to and names or important places with the letters in the kit.  For the outside four photos

i used the cardstock for the base and inked around each one with gingerbread ink.  Then i cut

white card to use for matting on each and added some tags and left over flowers that i had. All

of this comes in the Basic Kit so there is plenty left over to do more pocket pages...

This has to be pretty flat so that you don't ruin your photos so the flowers and letters

were all that i really could use for it.  You can add some ribbon for borders or maybe

a flat button or 2.  There really is lots that you can do with this paper line.  And the 

best part of it is that this is all my left overs from the other projects that i did so it shows

that you really get lots of fun goodies to use.  

Thanks so much for stopping over to see what is new and be sure and check

out all the other pages on the challenge today... and don't forget to show us what you 

made with it.  Have a fun and crafty day!!  Teresa

Adventures in life...

Today i have a post with a couple of cards i did with some of my favorite

papers from Kaisercraft.  This one if full of neat things about Adventure

and i so love it i am going to do a book for my National park Bucket list book.
We have been to 14 so far and i have lots of amazing photos and things to put in
it so i guess i better get started and make it a really big book since there will be
so many things in the future to put in it too.

I am hoping this year i can do lots of quick trips places to see some fun things

in our beautiful country and the sentiments on the cards pretty much say it all.

I love the colors and all the neat little bits that you get with this set.  Yep

i could go on and on about this one.....

Here is just a quick photo of the card and the papers.  The orange one

has a really neat world print embossed in clear on it.  I used a die from

Richard Garay to cut it out and pop it up.  And then i just layered some

fun pieces from the Kaiser set called "Wanderlust Collectables".

And here is the other card.  I love all the fun tags in this set... it's a fun

way to add ribbons and if you need any for projects this year be sure

and check out "Really Reasonable Ribbon"... lots of amazing ones

at really good prices.  

So thank you for stopping by and don't forget to leave a comment so i 

can stop by your blog for a visit too.  I am hoping to have more time this year

to do other things and can't wait to meet all of you :)

Big Hugs and Smiles... Teresa

January Hoarders Hop... are you ready?

It's the beginning of a brand new year and time to find and get out all those projects

that you have stored in your scrap room to make something fun!

Today i have a new journal to share that i made with a Simple Stories release

from last year called I AM.  I love to make up journals to post about things that

happen throughout the year and i love this paper line so it went together pretty well.

For the book i used one that i found on sale at Hobby Lobby.  It has clear pockets

inside and i picked it up for less than $8 so that was wonderful.  On the front I used

some of the 12 x 12 papers in the "I AM" collection and layered on some of the 

journaling cards and stickers.  Then i added words from the other adhesive sheet

that matched it and a few frames from the chipboard set too. It was nice that i had lots

of things for this line and kept it all together to find when i needed it. 

And... with everything else that i do i added some little whipped spackle dots with a Prima

stencil that i had in my stash.  Don't you love all the pretty colors in this set?  Me too!

Here is a quick photo of the inside that i created.  Besides the clear acetate pages i added 

white card stock pages that i can add journaling and photos as i go through the year.  I hope

that i will have enough space... I have lots of adventures planned in 2016.  Can't wait :)

And here is what some of the stickers and letters look like in the set.  Most

of it is precut cards so it's easy to create places for photos and journaling. And 

that is it for me.  I will have lots of fun things each month to share so be sure 

and check back again next month ......

So you should have arrived from Wendi's blog but if you didn't and want
