I'll be posting a fun Christmas countdown project tomorrow on Paper Popsicles! Go here for the supply list. Here's a sneak peek:

You'll need a few tp rolls and some scrappy goodies for this project. I hope you'll check it out and make one for your family.

Sketchapalooza is ending so I have a ton of layouts to share very soon! I'll also be sharing a couple of sketches I created but didn't use in the class. Stay tuned! :)

Take a peek!

I'll be posting a fun little Thanksgiving project on Paper Popsicles tomorrow in the how-to forum. I hope you'll stop by and check it out. Here's a little peek for you-

I used mostly goodies and papers from the October Glow kit at PP.

September How-To class is posted

My September How-to class is posted on Paper Popsicles in this thread! It's a school memories album that you can use to record small things about each year of school for your child. I used a bunch of Bazzill cardstock and some awesome 3 Bugs "Autumn" paper available in the Paper Popsicles store. I hope you like it!! Let me know if you make one! My kiddos aren't in school yet but I will make another one and hold onto them.

My August How-To class is up!

I hope you'll check out my new How-To class on the Paper Popsicles message board! It's a fun little ATC holder. We are trading ATC cards over there so this little project works out great! It can be used for other things as well. Here's the finished project-

Prizes and mini books!

Ok guys, I have two different mini books with instructions up this month and I have a couple of prizes up for grabs if you complete one or both! Let's put a deadline of...July 18th. That gives you two weeks. :)

Go to the Paper Popsicles How-To forum for intructions on this totally fun DIY word album.


Or...for this super easy short little book you can even use as a card, go to the Feeling Scrappy Anything Goes Forum.


Complete one or both and let me know by posting here with a link to your creation and I'll throw your name in the hat to win one of these fun sets of stickers!

First how-to....

I posted a short tutorial on Paper Popsicles using these cool cards. They are a lot of fun to play with and are available in their store for a great price! (As well as lots of fun papers and embellishments to decorate them. I hope you'll go check out the tutorial on the message board under the How-To forum. :)

How to emboss (and two RAK winners!)

Ok, I finally got around to making a short little video. I think I sound goofy but here I am anyhow. :) Congrats Michelle and Robin-I picked something both of you suggested-embossing. Please email your addresses to me (I think there's a link to send me an email somewhere here on my blog. :lol:) This is a super simple how-to video but hopefully it will help SOMEONE out there. Ha ha. And don't forget to leave me a comment (but only if it's nice). :)

Paper bag album

Suzanne asked me if the paper bags albums were hard to make. They are SUPER easy so I thought I'd post some instructions. If you make one, be sure to share it with me or leave me a comment!

You will need-
Three paper bags (I used small white bags from the craft store)
Glue
Stapler
Various paper scraps, ribbon, other scrappy goodies

Directions-
1. Turn bags in opposite directions then stack.

2. Fold them in half and then staple (or sew) them in the middle.

3. Cut a strip of paper to cover the binding and glue it on.

4. Add paper scraps to cover and decorate each page.
5. Add more paper scraps with ribbon to slide into the paper bag openings.

6. Have fun decorating it!

*I used scraps from American Crafts paper, Primas, a rhinestone from Lynda, paint, Distress ink, ribbon and a Grungeboard element that Jayne (from Feeling Scrappy) sent to me (the grungeboard, ribbon and some of the paper were from Jayne-Thanks Jayne!!).
