Scrapbook in a Purse

This is another version of a Scrapbook in a purse. I did one a while back that I actually found frustrating and I don't think I even finished it. One of the drawbacks of being me is I am an instant gratification person.. and if something takes too long or is too complicated then I probably wont do it or finish it. Which actually ends up being a good thing because my croppers probably wont want to do it either.

Anyway this is part of my continuing attempt to complete old classes, make n takes and stamp camp projects. This was a stamp camp project designed by fellow consultant Anjanette Davis. I have to give her Kudo's for very explicit directions. Very easy to follow. Anyhow, I found this project to be quite easy really and after a first run through there will be tweaks I will make before I offer it up as a workshop.



Here is a close up of the front cover, sorry the flash washed it out a bit.. new camera that I am still getting used to.. Anyway, the waxy has a clear charm on the end of it. The handle is heavy Gauge wire wrapped in Ribbon. The next photos are of the pages inside the book

So there you have it, a scrapbook in a purse. Now I just have to find or take the perfect pictures for it. One thing about mini albums.. they are so fetchin' cute and make the perfect gifts for the aunts and and grandma's in your life.

Off to the next project. Hopefully I am on a role now.

Class of 2016!

So its official, my oldest daughter is now a JR High School Student.. Class of 2016. I shutter at the though of how old I will be when that happens.. Its a bitter sweet moment for me really. I love to see her get older but at the same time I want to keep her as the cute sweet and innocent thing she was before school. Its amazing to me how much a child changes over the course of a year. And I know I will be in for some big changes in the year to come as she transitions from a young girl to a pre-teen. My battles will have to be picked carefully as I do believe, as a former "rebel" teen that you should be allowed to show your personality to some extent. Besides the more you forbid them to do the more they want to do it right?? All the while I have to protect her from as much "evil" as I can.. The peer pressure, the drugs etc. Its going to be a challenge.. One I hope I can rise up to especially since her little sister is right behind her. So to my "D" Congrats on the first of many mile stones ahead. I am so very proud of how intelligent and bright you are and I know you will do great things.
