Desktop Calendar

So daughter wanted a calendar and they can't put nails in the walls of the dorm room.  And dorm tape is apparently pitiful, lol.  So I made a calendar for her desk.  Here are a few of my favorite pages:

It was easy peasy.  I just followed Laura Dennison's tutorial on reusing a CD case.  Try it for yourself and have fun!

Happy Halloween!

My daughter is in her last quarter of college, and Halloween is her second favorite holiday, right after Christmas.  She needed a little something to decorate her door for Halloween - right?  Enter Mom and her stash!

A little paper, a little glue, a few embellies, some glow in the dark embossing powder, and this is what we have.  Not bad, huh?  Sadly, the hall lights in her dorm never turn off, so no one will see that the spider web glows in the dark but oh well.  She and I know. ;)

First Mini-Album From Scratch

So, I finally made my first mini-album from scratch.  The pictures aren't the greatest.  I forgot to take pictures before I gave it to my daughter, so these were taken on her cell phone, lol.

My daughter was feeling down in the dumps, so I made it to cheer her up.  It showcases our first ever trip out of the country, to Jamaica.  It's an accordion album made from envelopes, of all things.  And it's easy peasy.  If you want to learn how, go visit Laura Dennison's blog.  I'll give you the link below! :)

The Cover

See how the envelopes fold out to make pages and pockets?  Cool huh?

The decorations on one of the pockets.

Some of the tags pulled out of their pockets.

I hope you like it!  If you want to learn to make one, visit Laura here:
