Back To School Book Worm Volunteer Notebook!

My girls have been in school for 5 weeks already! It may be September but here in Arizona we are still seeing temperatures of 108 so it still feels like summer! 

If all goes as planned, this will automatically post because we will be installing my Daughter's furniture today! We had a set back with the paint colors, which originally were watermelon green and pink. However, once on the wall the green was really cartoon looking so it was back to square one. After many paint samples she finally picked Mint Majesty! We are thinking yellow for accent but that will be decided after the furniture gets moved in!

My Daughter needed a way to track her volunteer hours, so I made her this altered mini notebook. Her requests was that it had lots of ribbon on the side and her name so no one would steal it.  (She never recovered from when someone stole the bookmark I made her in 1st grade!)

Here is her book:

Lunch Bag Baby Mini Albums!

I have been making lots of these fun baby mini albums using paper lunch bags. I am able to use lots of my hoarded paper and my tons of embellishments! They are 5X5 in size.

Here are some pictures, I made a video but it was upside down! So I included a video of my girl version instead!

Time to get organized! Quick Tip Tuesday!

As part of the Creative Cutter Room design team I would like to share this quick tip with you!

I don't have a lot of time to craft between work, family and household chores, so to make my crafting time more productive I first spent my time getting organized!

I decided it would be easier to sort my supplies by theme and holiday!

Here are some examples of how I sorted:

These three drawers hold:

baby, school and travel

This larger bin holds Halloween and Fall

This 12X12 Sleeve holds Memorial Day and the 4th of July

Now when I craft I can easily pull out the bin I need and have all the supplies right on hand! This has been saving me so much time! Instead of looking for the stickers, and stamps I know I have some where I can get right to creating!

I also decided to tackle my dreaded ribbon! It took about 2 hours but it is done and now the ribbon is usable! and all this ribbon...

Fit into this!

 

Check out my super quick tip video!

I hope you enjoyed my quick tips!
