Travelouge Insert and Tag Swap

Nishi at Life on the Scrap Beach opened a swap for an insert and two tags and I was happy to participate.  As I usually do, once the swap was open I got started and made a project I am really happy with.  Only this time – I didn’t mail it!!  I had to get a reminder email!!  I never do that.  Must be all the extra stuff in my world these days, right?

I used Graphic 45 Tropical Travelouge papers, a bit of Bazzil cardstock, lots of Graphic 45 stamps and extras that coordinate with the paper line.  And of course, a couple stamps from the dollar bin at Michaels.  I made a quick video to walk you through the pages HERE

Bucket List Mini made for me

I participated in a swap at Life on the Scrap Beach with Nicole a while ago – the mini and charm I made for her can be found  below.  Nicole doesn’t make a lot of videos so I made one to showcase what an amazing job she did.  She was able to take some really different ideas and pull them together in one great mini.  Each page lifts of opens to reveal extra large tags and lots of room to journal and add photos as I check the items off my list.

She even went on line and found really great clip art to use for some of my more ‘off the wall’ list items.

Nicole, a million thanks for all the time and energy you put into making this mini so fabulous!!  Check out the You tube video I made  here

Parisian Store Front Mini

After several weeks away from craft room, I was so happy to come home to a project all ready to go.  I hosted a swap at Life on the Scrap Beach.  We were to make mini album pages from TP roles inspired by Paris store fronts.  The color scheme, to keep it all cohesive was pink, black and cream.
Each package was a real treat to see.  I just loved what each person did with the idea.  From literal windows, to color themes, to more artistic interpritations.  (I have to confess I did a bad job of editing the video and DeAnna actually made two pages and somehow I cut one out.  So sorry about that!!)
Each participant will have 5 different pages mailed back to her to bind into a mini of her own.
The video can be found here
