12.twelve.12

well it's a once in a lifetime day. . . according to the calendar. for me and my house its a regular day, boys at school, girls and their regular routine. for me work to do, food to cook, children to keep alive, lol. none the less i usually post to instagram once a day or i try to anyways. so since i know a ton of people that do the same i thought i cant let this day go by with out something special. so i played in photoshop for a little bit and made an 8x8 digital page for today. now i have not taken a picture yet today but i will. i put a picture in from yesterday to show you...because i made the page to share!

you can grab the psd file here

hope you like it and enjoy!

3 years old memory file mini!

i have been away from my blog and my computer in general for a couple of weeks...busy, busy i suppose!

well i made a super cute mini album using a heidi swapp memory file, some digital papers i made in photoshop using heidi swapp and pink paislee papers. i cut the memory file down to 9 inches tall and then i folded it along the score lines already there plus an extra one i made, printed my 8 1/2 x 11 in. papers (double sided) folded them in half and sewed them in with also help secure my folds in the memory file and then hot glued several trims into the spine. 

so i LOVE how it turned out the pictures arent the best i was in a hurry andmy son who had just been playing in the dirt outside was helping me, as you can see by the dirt under his nails, lol.

i purchased the color magic memory files at my local scrapbook store posh scraps along with a lot of the embellishments!

 

grandparents day gift

so the 2nd sunday of september is grandparents day. i know its coming every year, but it still always sneaks up on me...i'm sure it has nothing to do with having 5 kids and all the other stuff going on in my life.

well within in a week i tortured i mean took pictures of the kids, edited them printed them and put them in a mini stand up album.

i used some stash of house of 3 daily junque collection...and here are the results

                                         

suagr chic projects

 this is a 6x6 canvas i painted, and then added a matryoshka doll set i made in photoshop with heidi swapp's digital line of sugar chic and then added some embellishments from the sugar chic line

 this is tiny 2 x 3 frame that the glass was missing from one side and it used to be an ugly old gold...painted it made a little sheet for one side and then took a piece of 12x12 sugar chic paper cut it and accordion folded it...added super tiny pics and embellishments and stamps

 this was a gift my sis in law of the pics i did of her baby girl (my niece)...i used one of those great 99 cents ikea frames and added a bunch of pages mostly done with sugar chic and a few other lines

 i heart the origami cheetah bow!

 a plain old 1.00 wooden frame from michaels, added some paint, sugar chic paper, embellishments, trim and flowers

 i made this with the digital line to frame on my editing desk, fun!

 this was also made with the digital heidi swapp goodies

 as well as my baby' girls 1st birthday invite, with her cute lil face on them!

and last but not least, digital sugar chic papers on printable fabric! hello cutest banner EVER!

so i know picture overload of sugar chic goodness but i love this line from heidi swapp! i still have more to do! except for the digital goodies i got all my heidi swapp goodness from my local scrapbook store (which i also love) posh scraps
