Guest-Designer-Lala-Palooza Carri ~ Abusybee

I am so honored to be a guest designer today for Alex at You Had me at Craft! I have been a follower of Alex since the start and learned how to do chalking  when she posted a video for "LEARN A TECHNIQUES"  BLOG HOP back in June 2010! (Thanks Alex!) Time sure flies when you are having fun!

Today I wanted to share how I make a mini scrapbook using only one sheet of 12X12 Paper.

Take one double-sided 12X12 paper

Score top at 3/4" - 4 1/2" - 8 1/2"

Turn paper once to the left and make cut lines at 4" and 8"

Turn paper two times to the left; 1st 3/4" square mark as discard

2nd box mark # 2

3rd box mark # 1

You do not have to mark up your paper, you can just score and cut as you go, I just marked mine to show what it would look like.

I score my lines first using my Martha Stewart Score Pal

 Then Fold the score lines

Next cut along the 4" and 8" marks discard the top left 3/4 discard piece

 Now adhere strip # 2 to the strip that had the discarded strip

Then adhere the entire strip to the # 1

 Then fold!

Now you have a mini book! 18 pages long! Each page appx 3 3/4" by 4"

Now for the fun part! Time to pull out all those scraps and start decorating!

Here is my completed Halloween book! I hope you enjoyed my mini tutorial and project!

Thank You Alex for inviting me to be guest designer!

My little Crafter... Entering a Challenge!

My little chickie (9yrs old) wanted to join in on a challenge today. She decided on Crafty Sprouts because she liked the colors for the challenge.

She made the whole card herself! She used way to much tape, Glued the inside of the card together by accident and "blew" flocking powder EVERYWHERE!!

But look how sweet her card turned out! I'm so proud!

She used red for the background, green for the trees and a black ribbon.

She is entering into:
