Quite a Productive Weekend

This past weekend I was feeling extremely motivated and well the "mojo fairy" was good to me. I finally finished 2 albums that have been sitting around, and made Ryan a Valentine's Day Gift. Since I didn't want to overwhelm everyone with tons of pictures I created these photo collages and will post the individual ones in my gallery at scrapbook.com sometime soon.

Christmas Journal

I decided to create a Christmas Journal and originally the idea was to complete Shimelle's "Christmas Journal Class", however I got way behind and ended up doing a mix of the pages she talked about and things that I wanted to include about our family and our traditions.

It was my first time working with the Clear Albums and I have to say that even though I was extremely intimidated at first, I really ended up enjoying it. I used quite of mix of sizes in the album also, from envelopes to small 4x6 pages. And even though I didn't finish it until this past weekend I am so happy that I did it. It will be something that I plan on doing every year.



I Love You Album

A few weeks ago I was browsing through some of my favorite blogs and Ali Edwards had this cute, cute album for Valentine's Day. I simply couldn't resist trying it out since I have a large supply of felt which I have never even really touched. It was super simple and I love it. Can't wait to fill it out and give it to Ryan on Valentine's Day.



Altered Children's Book

Now this I am SUPER happy that I have finally finished! I have been working on this on and off for probably a good 4 months or more. Seriously! Its a children's book which I altered with Olivia's pictures from the summer and some of my favorite memories. {Like her being complety obessed with Daddy's John Deer!!!}



Now this is the best picture EVER! This is how I found Ms. Olivia on Monday...when I called her name she looked at me and gave me that cheesy smile. I had to add the "Caught Red-Handed" on the picture because not only was she playing with my stuff, but she had taken her pants & socks off and was sitting there in her Cinderella undies. LOL She loves being in her shirt and that's it!!!!!!!!!!!! God I can only hope she gets over that really really fast. LOL



I made tons of cards too, but I guess I will leave those for another post.
