I actually took a digital photo of some of my 6X6 pages to give you some ideas for you mothers scrapbook and one of my 12X12 just because I love it.
If you want to know what supplies I used I will be happy to tell you. Probably would have been clearer if I had scanned them in the computer but one technical lesson at a time. I am just glad I learned how to resize today.

Tricia - lovely pages - mine are simple because Im focusing on my sons book right now - as he gets older, they may be a little bit more fancier


How did you do the shiny bits on your snow page? heat embossing? I am just learning that and I love it!

I need to do a book about my furbabies as well! I met a lady at the scrapbooking retreat last weekend who was doing a book on her furbabies, all 6 of them and I recommended this site to her, so hopefully she will check in! She does work 3 jobs so no idea when, she did seem interested though!

Oh wow those are great! I'm impressed... the times that I've attempted scrapbooking, I've either backed out or done something not even remotely as nice as yours!

Not having children is precisely the reason I have time to be a little more creative.
Getting it out of my system now before I do have one. My other 12X12 pages aren't quite as fancy though. Well maybe a little fancy

I like heat embossing to but the shiny stuff around the word snow is glue that has irridesant glitter in it. (Easier and neater than real glitter) The big snowflakes on the page are vellum stickers.

I am just beginning to get into scrapbooking more. I have always been very creative and artistic and about a year ago a coworker invited me to a "Stampin Up" Party. Since then I have been a crafting addict. Me and 2 of my coworkers get together once a month for "crafternoons"
We rotate who picks projects and we do something different each month. So far my favorite projects have been jewelery making and this last project I took a picture of. We made a set of 4 tile coasters using stamps:



Scrapbooking is a new hurdle for me. It just seems to cost so much, and the time and effort involved in sorting and organizing photos, and laying out pages is just too much for me to put on my plate at the moment. My intentions to start a book for my furbabies is there though. Here is a book a good friend of mine got me for my birthday:



I am hoping once the school year is over, I am no longer teaching, and I move into my new house with much more space I will be more motivated to get my scrapbook started.

The coasters are so much easier than I thought they would be to make. My mom actually wants to try making some with me and see how they sell on ebay. It's worth a try maybe? I'll see what I can do about getting you a courtesy set before they go on sale.

Sounds good. Or you can just come over and we can make them together!

I bought tumbled tiles from the local "Lowes" home improvement store
The ink pad I used was a "Staz On" ink pad

Basically you find a stamp you like, experiment with differnt designs on paper first using a regular ink pad, then once you get the design you want you use the "Staz On" pad to stamp it on the tile.

After the image is dry, you can use crafting chalks to color in the image.

After that all you have to do is seal it. I can't remember the name of the sealer I used...I'll have to find out and get back to you on that.

That's basically it. Oh and I bought little cork rounds for the bottom of the tiles too!

That's it!

You are correct. Scrapbooking doesn't have to be expensive, but it always ends up being that way (at least for me) LOL

Thanks to TCS I was inspired to FINALLY start my kitty scrapbook. I am actually glad I waited this long because if I had started back in December when I got the book I would've only been able to include Ebony. Now I can make it for both of my girls. I took pics of my first to pages to share. Hopefully as I go along I can get into some fancier designs. I plan to make a trip to Michaels sometime this week to get more accents!

Love it. Ebony sure was a cute kitten. Great shots of Ebony at the dinner table. I really like those cat accents on the first page too.
