Swap

Swap stuff I made. I love doing swaps but I think I need to take a break and use some of the swap stuff I have gotten and organize my craft room before I sign up for any more swaps.

Thanksgiving cards

These are cards I made for Card swaps. I don't think I like doing card swaps because I don't want to send a card that someone else made. Feels like cheating.

personal challenge

I am setting a personal challenge for myself to scrap at least one page a week or more from a sketch. My creative juices are drying up so I thought I would use sketches to get started again. Also, I have been reading, swapping, organizing, buying...everything EXCEPT scrapbooking! I need to get back to the reason I read, swap, organize and buy.

.

So, here is my first one. The sketch and the page.

Count Cutie

I have created a cute little Count Dracula file for Silhouette Studio. He has several pieces but I just think he is adorable.

I have colored the pieces in but I do not print & cut him. I just cut the pieces out of the paper I want for whatever project I am working on. You may want to do his hair blonde, black, or grey as I have. You may want to cut his sash and amulet in red or green or whatever. I just use the colors on the design to help me create. I have the back layer as white and the next layer as black with the teeth cut out. This save having to cut tiny teeth and get them on right.

Here is the link to the .studio cut file.

Toilet Paper Roll Mini Tag Book

Here is a link to the Silhouette Studio version 1.9 file for the paper cover and tags. If you have an earlier version of Silhouette Studio another lady posted a version 1.5 of the same file on the Yahoo Group Silhouette Users group.

TP Mini book

Check out http://yourmemorieshere.blogspot.com/2010/01/another-video-for-you.html on how to create a toilet paper roll mini album with tags. It says for the Cricuit but you can do it with no machine. The cricuit part is a template she made for the cover paper.

This mini book would be great as a gift or a party favor or recipe book. The possibilities are endless with the adorable mini book.

I am getting ready to redo my craft room yet again. It is so hard to get it just right since it is the smallest bedroom in my house (9x10) and it doubles as my guest room. So, I have a twin bed in there, and a TON of scrapbook stuff. I have tried everything imaginable to no avail.

So, now I am putting up two 8 foot shelves above my work area to put stuff on. Getting rid of the two drawer lateral file cabinet. It currently holds my 81/2 x 11 card stock in the top drawer and my household tools (hammers, screws, etc.) in the bottom drawer. I am going to sort through all the tools and get rid of a bunch of stuff. Lets face it, if it needs fixed I'm calling the handyman anyway. The other purpose for the lateral file is it holds my homemade scraprack. I will just have to find a new home for that.

I hope that when I am finished I can get back to the task of actually scrapbooking. Right know I have a plastic tub FULL of projects that need to be scrapped.

Once I get it all done, I will share a photo.

Wish me luck on my endevor.
