Graphic 45--Halloween in Wonderland- Halloween Book

I started off with paper in the shape of this hat.  I used the cricut(I think it was a 4th of July cartridge) to cut out a paper pattern, then cut out the front and back of the album in heavy black chipboard.

The pages were just black cardstock.  The patterned paper was by Graphic 45!

Evan dressed up like Josh Hamilton--his favorite Texas Rangers player.

School Days Album from 2011

This book was by Heart of Texas Studio.  The paper was by Simple Stories.  I cut the diamond shaped banner from the paper, then mounted each piece on grungeboard.  For the "School Days" title, I just inked it, then covered with Glossy Accents.  The zipper trim is by Maya Road.  The super-cool door knob is by Tim Holtz.

Tiny glass beads cover the leaf of the apple page.  I covered the owl, pencil,  and apple piece with chalkboard paper, then drew on them with a pen made for this purpose.

 

More Tim Holtz embellishments on the back.

Retirement Book: My parents best friends retiring from owning a hardware store, so I made this book for them!

Summer License Plate Album Class from June 2011

This summer album has a unique front.  The Crafty Scrapper sits next to a large antique mall that I like to frequent.   I found these metal numbers there.  They were for old score-keeping signs.  I had originally bought them for our baseball team...I thought I would use each boy's number for the front of their album, but couldn't find all the numbers that I needed.  I used them for this summer class instead.  The class went over big, as the people loved these vintage pieces!

Macy's softball album

Macy played softball for the first time in summer 2011.  I made this album for her.  I didn't have time to make them for the whole team this time---maybe next year!

The album is by Maya Road.  I thought it really fit the softball theme well!

Mickey Mouse Album

I made this album for the trip we took to Disneyworld in Summer 2009.   Isn't Mickey the best?

I made the kids little scrapbooks that they used for signatures!  They loved them, and the Disney characters made such a big deal over them!  The kids were thrilled!

I am working on four 12x12 albums from this summer trip...one from each park!  I LOVED Disneyworld.  I had never been.  I had my picture made with every character...I didn't push the kids out of the way, though...lol

Macy's Soccer book

I made this soccer book for Macy.  The stamp on the front was perfect, as the name of Macy's soccer team was "Glitter".  I painted the girl to match our girls' outfits, and I fashioned the girl's skirt from a soccer ball.  The #1 on the front was Macy's number!

It was so fun to make this album!  I had made few sports albums for my sons, but let's face it, being able to use pink and glitter is fun!!!

Funky?  Yes!!

This little bird was a cutie!  The bird was by Maya Road.  I painted him with yellow crackle paint.  Surprising, I know!

Maya Road kraft doily made to look like a soccer ball!  Little ticket stamp was by Tim Holtz.

Tim Holtz' wings on that soccer ball with glitter!  Oh, yeah!
