Ta Da!

Here is my 2010 edition of The Great Outdoors ABC Scrapbook. 

 

 
This is what’s inside the little packet on the lower right corner of the X page.

 

I’ve put all the paper and glue away and now I ‘m back into making pincushions.  I’ve even got a new color of felt…sage green.  Very pretty matched with pink, yellow and soft orange.  Stay tuned!

Taking a Break from Pincushions

I've been busy working on my annual ABC scrapbook made with pictures from this past year.  This is the fourth set of books I've made.  Whenever possible I take advantage of Walgreen's offers for free 8x10 collages.  What started out looking like this...

Now looks like this...

and this.

The pages of these little books are only 6x6 and my goal is to put as many pictures as possible on each page.  I also include a little tab including a memory or a description of the page.  I'm about half way done with the 2010 edition.  I'll share a link to the whole set when I'm done with the whole alphabet. 

My Latest Obsession

For the past 2 weeks or so, I’ve been working on this small ABC scrapbook. I did one of these last summer, no wait, it was the summer before that. Wow, time flies doesn’t it? Anyway yesterday I finished the 2009 edition. Here’s the slideshow of the pages. Sit back, take a look and listen to Sheryl Crow sing a great old Hank Williams tune.

These are scans of scrapbook pages for another 6x6 ABC book. To keep with my theme of nature and the great outdoors, I needed to be somewhat creative with my words. The letters K, X and Z are a few examples. The pages may start to look alike, but there's only so much one can do with an area of 6x6. Each page contains a small pocket with a printed tag describing a memory or some other details about the picture(s) on that page. I also used quite a bit of rick rack for embellishment. FYI, I love rick rack and really like what it did for the pages.
