Now that CHA is passed, I wanted to share some of my The Girls’ Paperie work I made for the show.

I was saving this CHA layout for after the show but since Margie shared this one on her blog, I am assuming it’s ok to share. This is one of The Girls’ Paperie work I made for the show.

I rarely ever submit to anything. I am too saddened by rejection and it’s often so much work. Especially to submit to magazines. I also always journal on my layouts and my handwriting is not beautiful or often legible. Which does not make me a good candidate. So it’s very rare to see any of my pages in a magazine. However, I had the amazing honor of being published in the November/December 2010 issue of Swedish Scrapbooking m. m. magazine. They picked up a few of my layouts and a minibook. This is a CHA Summer layout I made for The Girls’ Paperie mine are the two on the right, more The Girls’ Paperie. the mini i made with Maya Road goodies. And then they did a feature article about my layout a day in may adventure.
Even though I cannot understand a word of it, I was so incredibly delighted to see my work in print. I am deeply thankful to scrapbooking m.m. for making me so so happy. Thank you for letting me share my joy. I made this tag for technique week at A Million Memories.
For my technique, I did something simple but fun. 1. I inked my office tag with Shabby Shutters and Tumbled Glass distress inks. I made a movie to show you how to make the ornaments: And here’s one more look.
I made this tag as part of a little something at A Million Memories.
I wanted to make a quick little tag that I could use on my presents this year. This tag was super-quick to make: 1. I took a plain manila tag from an office supply store. that’s it!! super quick and simple and a nice way to add a personal touch to your presents.
A few months ago, I made some handmade tags for Julie’s handmade for the holidays series. There were six tags and one set of downloads. I will post all of them one at a time during this week. For all my tags I used manila tags I bought at Office Depot. You can always cut your own tag from cardstock and punch a hole as well.
Here are the steps to this simple tag:
Supplies Used: The Girls’ Paperie Tinsel and Twig sticker market, trims, and crepe paper embellishments, Caran D’ache water soluble crayons, and sticky-back canvas. The little star sticker is an old one from Making Memories. And here’s a movie where I demonstrate how I made the tag: This was originally posted at Julie Fei-Fan Balzer‘s blog as part of handmade for the holidays series.

I know we’re smack in the middle of Christmastime but I have this Halloween layout I made because I knew that if I didn’t make it, I would never make it since I am not a fan of Halloween at ALL.
Journaling Reads: All products are from The Girls’ Paperie Toil and Trouble (except for the green button which is from Tinsel and Twig) Details: One of the holiday traditions both my son and I look forward to each year is the advent calendar. He loves having something to open every day in December and I love watching his anticipation each day. I’ll admit that for the last two years, we’ve been using calendars that are simple and have a piece of chocolate behind each door. This year, I wanted to do something different. Something more personal. I know he likes the little treat every day and I am happy to still give that to him but I wanted to make sure he doesn’t grow up thinking that opening an advent calendar just means getting chocolate. So I decided to make a tag with pockets for each day. In each pocket, I put a card with a little message. Every night, he will take out the appropriate card and do whatever’s on it. Here’s what one tag looks like:
My tags are constructed very simply. Since there are 25 days, I decided to pick 5 different color schemes for the tags and pockets and I repeated each five times. Here are the basic steps I followed for each tag: 1. Take manila tag, adhere to background paper, cut. That’s it. Simple as pie. Here’s how they look altogether.
If you look carefully, you can see that the color combinations repeat but because I embellished each slightly differently, they don’t look exactly the same. Here is a closer look at each tag:
All of the papers and embellishments are from The Girls’ Paperie. Almost everything is from the Tinsel and Twig line but there are a few items from the Toil and Trouble line. For the insides, I made a 2×2 square which says “celebrate the season” in tiny font. (You can download it here.) I then printed them out and punched out the squares. I stapled ribbon to the back of each square.
Finally, I wrote each day’s item on the tag.
Some of the items are purely for him (like the one in the photo) and others are family-related like “give your brother a hug.” And yet others are more community-wide. Like helping a friend at school. Here’s what the tags look like with the papers in them.
I’ll admit that this project was a bit time consuming, but mostly because I spent a lot of time picking the simple embellishments on each tag. I love the fact that I can keep the same system year after year and even use the same squares. Or I can change them around as my kids grow up. I can even put two squares in one pocket so each of my kids can draw one. Flexible, simple, pretty.
And here is the list of all the items on the tags: S=self, F=family, C=community 1. You get a new book today (S) This was originally posted at writeclickscrapbook.com for the holiday season.
