We created magnets in a decorated tin for her.&amp;nbsp; These are actually quite fun to make so I'll be creating a couple more sets and showing them later on.&amp;nbsp; The magnets I bought are super strong neodymium earth magnets so they will hold up lots of papers (which makes me happy because anyone that has had to buy magnets for their fridge must know it's hard to find good magnets).&amp;nbsp; I punched out paper to put into my bottle cap tops and then&amp;nbsp;sealed it with&amp;nbsp;embossing powder to preserve the paper.&amp;nbsp; I then decorated the tin with various papers.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none;

I finished 21 pages!&amp;nbsp; That made 14 layouts (some 1 page and some 2 page layouts).&amp;nbsp; I also made it about half way through my 3 Angel albums that I created at a class in Brandon back in February and completed a few other little projects while I was there.&amp;nbsp; It was so much fun!&amp;nbsp; And the gals out there are hilarious!!!&amp;nbsp; We laughed so hard that just thinking about it my sides still ache.&amp;nbsp; I had a great time and unfortunately forgot to take a picture of my usual messy station, but I'll post some pictures of some of the layouts later on this week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that we're back home I've been busy putting my store back together and I am happy to say&amp;nbsp;we're&amp;nbsp;back to normal.&amp;nbsp; We have lots of new product (flowers, brads, jewels, stickers, paper...) and it's all out in the store to view.&amp;nbsp; Here's a little peek...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

They were colored&amp;nbsp;with Glimmer Mists and Stickles.&amp;nbsp; I sprayed a couple "spritz" of&amp;nbsp;Creamsicle, then&amp;nbsp;one spritz of&amp;nbsp;Tattered Leather (to darken the color), then sprayed the entire flower with creamsicle again for full coverage.&amp;nbsp;

That butterfly stamp...know where it's been?&amp;nbsp; At the bottom of my stamp bin for quite a while I bought that waayyyy back (I can't remember when).&amp;nbsp; It was one of the first acrylic stamps that came out.&amp;nbsp; What about those puffy tags?&amp;nbsp; Those are from Making Memories that I bought over 4 years ago.&amp;nbsp; And the last thing on my layout?&amp;nbsp; The rubon flowers were from Basic Grey from about&amp;nbsp;3 years ago...but wait!&amp;nbsp; Did you notice something?&amp;nbsp; I took some purple smooch and painted the petals of the flowers and added some Kaisercraft bling flowers to it to jazz it up.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Now it's your turn...go through your stash and use those amazing product you bought!&amp;nbsp;

border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;I thought I'd share an easy peas-y mini book that I created for Baby Time's Memory Box that we've been doing at the Family Centre.&amp;nbsp; I created this so that people could put a photo or two per page for every month of the child's first year, but you can always change it to wedding, pets, birthdays, you name it!&amp;nbsp; Here's the directions to make the album...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none;

border-top: medium none;"&gt;Supplies&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;1 12x12 piece of cardstock&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;1 12x12 piece of patterned paper (or you can&amp;nbsp;use your scraps&amp;nbsp;instead)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;2 4x4 pieces of chipboard or cardboard from a cereal box (or anything hanging around)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;Glue/adhesive (I recommend Pioneer Embellishment Glue...it's AWESOME!)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;Distresser (you can use a nail file or an edge distresser)&lt;/div&gt;Paper cutter (with a scoring blade preferably)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;1) Score a 12x12 paper at 4 inches to make 2 lines running the same way.&amp;nbsp; If you don't have a scoring blade I would use a pencil and mark where you should fold you paper&amp;nbsp;in step 3 (it will also help with gluing your ends together as well.&amp;nbsp; You can use a white eraser to get rid of the pencil marks after.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;2) Cut your 12x12 paper at 4 inches perpendicular (cut vertically&amp;nbsp;with your scored lines facing horizontally)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;3) Glue the ends together then fold to make an accordian.&amp;nbsp; When you do this make sure you fold your first page so it will open up like a book and the rest will make a zig zag pattern.&amp;nbsp; While your book is all folded up I recommend marking the front and back with a pen or pencil and put an X on it so you know not to put a patterned paper on it (don't worry we'll be covering it up so your mark won't be seen).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;4) Cut your 12x12 patterned paper into 3in. x 12in strips.&amp;nbsp; Take 3 of those strips and cut them into 3x3 squares.&amp;nbsp; The other paper leave as a 3x12 piece (this will be used to cover your front and back page).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;5) Open up your book and start adding the patterned papers to the inside pages.&amp;nbsp; For my book I put some crooked and some straight, but this is your book so it's up to you.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;6) Flip over your book (making sure you will be facing the papers the same way...you don't want an upside down book) and repeat step 5 making sure you don't add a photo onto your marked page.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;7) This is where it gets tricky...you remember that 3x12 inch patterned paper?&amp;nbsp; Well you have to use that paper to cover your 4x4 chipboard / cardboard pieces.&amp;nbsp; When I created this one I wanted to&amp;nbsp;make sure I used every&amp;nbsp;bit of paper I had without needing another piece so I cut out my papers that overlapped and pieced it here and there on the covers (see below).&amp;nbsp; TIP:&amp;nbsp; This is the perfect type of project to&amp;nbsp;go to your personal stash and use some of your scraps too!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wXk9E6YuiL8/TV7l7zFFpaI/AAAAAAAABAE/gmtyXm7ym1Y/s1600/IMG_2359.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" j6="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wXk9E6YuiL8/TV7l7zFFpaI/AAAAAAAABAE/gmtyXm7ym1Y/s320/IMG_2359.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;9) Glue down your front and back covers to your album and then Voila!&amp;nbsp; You have a mini brag book.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;10) Before I added my photos I distressed the edges of my papers with a distresser/nail file.&amp;nbsp; Just rub it over your paper and see what peels off.&amp;nbsp; My front page of my book is a perfect example of how this works.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;11) Now for the fun part!&amp;nbsp; Add your photos, journal, embellish, have fun!&amp;nbsp; To finish this album up you can also add a ribbon around it so it stays together.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;Enjoy!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;~Alicia&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4892465278190149182-3096305142397188544?l=downadirtroadscrapbooking.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://downadirtroadscrapbooking.blogspot.com/feeds/3096305142397188544/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4892465278190149182&amp;postID=3096305142397188544&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4892465278190149182/posts/default/3096305142397188544'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4892465278190149182/posts/default/3096305142397188544'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://downadirtroadscrapbooking.blogspot.com/2011/02/mini-brag-book.html' title='Mini Brag Book'/><author><name>Alicia Talbot</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07638665872111635487</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_go3ZsywHitY/SgCqR2u3J3I/AAAAAAAAARg/tzVPRyRGSn8/S220/M%26Lmed.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hbinEnElECE/TV7g7PiWJMI/AAAAAAAABAA/P-lYwoJDFjc/s72-c/IMG_2358.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892465278190149182.post-1594498144889754343</id><published>2011-02-10T15:29:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2011-02-10T15:29:47.440-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Just thought I'd share...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I'm&amp;nbsp;being inspired by everything from new stamps and punches to older papers that I forget I even had!&amp;nbsp; It's been a real treat to get some time to scrapbook and although it takes me a lot longer to finish a layout I have to say when it's finished I really do appreciate it more.&amp;nbsp; I've been organizing and sorting through&amp;nbsp;my supplies and came across this photo of Preston from last year that I had to pull some of those older papers and make a layout of him "keeping cool in summer".&amp;nbsp;

text-align: left;"&gt;Well I had the opportunity to get to my scrapbook desk today and I just had to make some name plates for these awesome boxes I purchased from Walmart for $5 for all 3!&amp;nbsp; They were in the clearance area and I had photo boxes on my list to purchase&amp;nbsp;so that when I have memorabilia for my boys I can put it into their box and keep it organized and off my table until I scrapbook it.&amp;nbsp; It also helps me remember what items belong to which child&amp;nbsp;LOL!&amp;nbsp; They are slightly bigger than a photo box, but who cares when you can find a deal like that : )&amp;nbsp; I used some scraps of paper since my scrap pile is getting very large ( I really need to tackle that next in my organizing),&amp;nbsp;my barely used border punches, and even pulled out an old pair of decorative scissors.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;My tip for today is use what you have!&amp;nbsp; You don't always have to have the newest and latest items.&amp;nbsp;

Hopefully soon I will get my container of "to be finished" layouts finished and be able to start all over again, but when that bug hits you, you all know that things get pushed aside and I just have to create something new.&amp;nbsp; I've been working on some premade baby layouts for after this baby arrives so all I have to do is worry about the pictures.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;For right now though, I thought I'd share a new layout using the &lt;a href="http://doodlebugdesign.homestead.com/winter-2010-release8.html"&gt;Doodlebug Mother Nature&lt;/a&gt; line.&amp;nbsp; These pictures I took last year of Preston and I've been looking for the perfect paper since.&amp;nbsp; This line is so cutesie and just makes you want to do your part to save the earth : )&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I love this line!&amp;nbsp; Heck I love this company!&amp;nbsp; Anyone who knows me knows I love the whimsical, kiddie style that DB creates.&amp;nbsp; And I have to send a big shout out to a great gal, &lt;a href="http://aidanick.blogspot.com/"&gt;Amber&lt;/a&gt; who inspired me at the Brandon Scrapbook Convention to start using some tools I've had in my stash for a couple of years and have forgot about.&amp;nbsp; The first is my edge distresser.&amp;nbsp; I totally forgot I even had one (ummm...sorry 2 LOL!)&amp;nbsp;and now find myself using it a little more.&amp;nbsp; I am having so much fun ripping and tearing and making a mess...It's great!&amp;nbsp; I've even put it into my tool caddy so that it's always on my table and easily accessible.&amp;nbsp; The second is my&amp;nbsp;craft mat which I bought for a specific use I was taught from a class and never actually did that technique again&amp;nbsp;since I never bought all the other product&amp;nbsp;at the time.&amp;nbsp; It was&amp;nbsp;to do with distressing inks and I still don't own any to this day LOL!&amp;nbsp; I was digging for my photo paper and saw it yesterday and took it out of the box and&amp;nbsp;used it with my gimmer mists instead.&amp;nbsp; I think I'll be using it lots more with my stamping as well!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;~A&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none;

I organized Prestons second album from 4 months to 1 year only to find I had started another album with some layouts in it.&amp;nbsp; D'oh!&amp;nbsp; Oh well, now I've decided that I want the same album to finish off his first year as I started it which means I have to find some&amp;nbsp;old, discontinued albums to finish up his first year and have been on the search since for the Chatterbox Spruce Stripe album.&amp;nbsp; I tell ya I have my work cut out for me.&amp;nbsp; Just when I think I come across a website that has them I note the copywrite symbol at the bottom of the page is waaaayyyy out of date.&amp;nbsp; Come on!&amp;nbsp; Take that dang old site off the web so I am not wasting time!&amp;nbsp; GRRRRRR.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Afterward I was able to stock up on supplies again, I have been working on another 8x8 baby album to get out of my stash and sell at the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.ceramicorner.com/Home.html"&gt;Ceramic Corner&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; Now that that is finished, I plan on doing the finishing touches on some more layouts I made at the crops and when I'm done I'll be posting some more inspiration for you all : )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take care!&lt;br /&gt;~A&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4892465278190149182-7930272068825241435?l=downadirtroadscrapbooking.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://downadirtroadscrapbooking.blogspot.com/feeds/7930272068825241435/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4892465278190149182&amp;postID=7930272068825241435&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4892465278190149182/posts/default/7930272068825241435'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4892465278190149182/posts/default/7930272068825241435'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://downadirtroadscrapbooking.blogspot.com/2010/05/been-little-quiet-on-home-front.html' title='Been a little quiet on the home front'/><author><name>Alicia Talbot</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07638665872111635487</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_go3ZsywHitY/SgCqR2u3J3I/AAAAAAAAARg/tzVPRyRGSn8/S220/M%26Lmed.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892465278190149182.post-8072260068592481262</id><published>2010-05-09T16:54:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2010-05-12T17:18:21.357-05:00</updated><title type='text'>How I do my journalling</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;I know there are lots of you out there that hate to journal because you hate your handwriting or you just don't think it's good enough or whatever the excuse may be, but it is very important to the people who look at your books!&amp;nbsp; I know I have been a bad journaller for years, but I am trying really, really hard to write on all my layouts now.&amp;nbsp; Even if it's a few sentences about the event, the date, whatever.&amp;nbsp; Leave your legacy on your pages with the photos : )&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;I thought I'd share with you all how I like to journal.&amp;nbsp; What I like to do is write everything out with a pencil to start.&amp;nbsp; You can write on a seperate piece of paper or on your page.&amp;nbsp; I like to write on my page so I know approximately how much room I have to write in and how much I should write.&amp;nbsp; I also write lightly and slowly so my writing doesn't look like "chicken scratch" like you write on a shopping list and it will be able to be erased afterwards.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Next I will write over top with pen.&amp;nbsp; Again writing slowly,&amp;nbsp;I don't try to be precise with writing the letter on top of where I wrote them in pencil, but just writing comfortably.&amp;nbsp; The lead size of a pencil may vary from your pen so being exact is very difficult.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;And when you're all said and done just erase your pencil marks.&amp;nbsp; I like to use those white erasers as they work best.&amp;nbsp; I think the pink ones tend to smudge.&amp;nbsp; Just remember to rub your eraser clean of&amp;nbsp;your last project you may have erased so it doesn't get on this project.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;~A&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I headed out to Somerset, MB for the weekend and had a chance to scrapbook with some amazing gals from the area in Swan Lake, MB. It was great! I completed 34 pages (not layouts approx. half of my pages were from 2 page layouts) and only 10 pages were projects that I had already started and just needed to finish. It was great playing with paper, embellishments and my cricut machine which I haven't used in quite a while, but do plan on using more. It was great being able to use stuff in my stash as I'm trying to cut down on my shopping for new products since I have so much to start out with! I know I'm so bad. Not only am I a scrapbooker, but I'm also a scrapbook collector. I will not call myself a hoarder as I do try to get stuff out of my stash that I will not use and pass it along to others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anywho, here's a couple of pics of a few layouts I did this weekend. Enjoy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was the first layout I did for the weekend. I had troubles sleeping with all the excitement so I was designing this one while I couldn't sleep. It drove me nuts! I couldn't wait to get started.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 159px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5455244716938536546" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_go3ZsywHitY/S7TsKrvypmI/AAAAAAAAAj0/E4nhWP5FmQg/s320/PICT0027.JPG" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of my last layouts from the weekend.

My greatest task ever is to organize my scrapbook area completely by the end of this month.  I am so sick of all the extra stuff I have collected in the 10 plus years in this hobby that I am even dunging out some product I haven't used and do not plan to use.  I want to say it's been going great, but everytime I get ahead there seems to be two steps back LOL!  Here's my list of things I've been working on:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.Clean off my desk of non essentials&lt;br /&gt;2.Go through my patterned paper&lt;br /&gt;3.Sort out my cardstock again : (  {It is now organized by color and one of 3 groups; neutrals, warm, cool}&lt;br /&gt;4.Organize my albums (Lachlan's done (for now), Preston's 1st and 2nd album to be redone again as I found another pizza box with more layouts in it...Grrr)&lt;br /&gt;5.Dung out anything I don't intend to use.  No more saving for that perfect layout.  I'd forget about it before it came around LOL!&lt;br /&gt;6.Organize my photos and get them all in one place (digital and printed)&lt;br /&gt;7.Date as many layouts as possible. (Lachlan's done and Preston's are almost done, then onto family, pets, and extras)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And with all this going on I've been doing really good at not spending any $$$ on scrapbook supplies this month.  I plan on saving that for the Brandon Scrapbookers Convention in April : )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What are you doing to organize you space?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4892465278190149182-3606026578098234017?l=downadirtroadscrapbooking.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://downadirtroadscrapbooking.blogspot.com/feeds/3606026578098234017/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4892465278190149182&amp;postID=3606026578098234017&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4892465278190149182/posts/default/3606026578098234017'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4892465278190149182/posts/default/3606026578098234017'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://downadirtroadscrapbooking.blogspot.com/2010/01/welcome-to-january.html' title='Welcome to January...'/><author><name>Alicia Talbot</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07638665872111635487</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_go3ZsywHitY/SgCqR2u3J3I/AAAAAAAAARg/tzVPRyRGSn8/S220/M%26Lmed.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892465278190149182.post-1588394165766252803</id><published>2009-12-21T09:42:00.002-06:00</published><updated>2009-12-21T10:04:04.050-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Not much going on in the Scrapbook front...</title><content type='html'>I've been super busy with Christmas and taking pictures to get ready for the after Christmas season that scrapbooking has taken a back seat.

I know there's a few people probably not too happy about it, but without snow for Christmas it just doesn't feel like Christmas. Marc and I took a trip to Estevan yesterday and it was just strange how we are almost finished our Christmas shopping and we both had said it didn't feel like Christmas. To get you into the holiday spirit here's a cute layout I did for Lachlan's first Christmas.

Of course the color scheme she chose made it difficult to find papers so instead of searching for colored papers I have created my own "patterned paper".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374020810889000770" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_go3ZsywHitY/SpRbdGiYd0I/AAAAAAAAAY0/Ny2RHM3GYig/s320/PICT1981.JPG" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And since I haven't posted lately I thought it would be nice to share a technique with all you wonderful people who still come by and check out my blog. Here we go....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now to make this paper I chose to stamp two different colors to add a little more, but you can always change that up. You can stamp with one color, but 2 or more stamps or you can stamp with more colors it's all up to you and how you want it to look. It's definitely fun to play around and explore to see what you can come up with. It's one of my favorite thing techniques. I used a background stamp and stamped the whole paper with the lighter color and then I chose a darker ink and stamped the butterfly randomly around my paper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To make it really look like patterned paper this is my favorite trick...you have to stamp off the paper. To do this I use a cellophane plastic baggie (that way you protect your work surface) that I got from a paper pack or if you're like me and shop online some people ship paper in them as well. I let it show from behind my paper and then I stamped my image partially on the cardstock and part on the plastic. That way it gives a continuous look and that you didn't stop before the edge of you paper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374020799276706034" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_go3ZsywHitY/SpRbcbRy6PI/AAAAAAAAAYs/p0phEKO070Y/s320/PICT1979.JPG" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374020825886970706" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_go3ZsywHitY/SpRbd-aLU1I/AAAAAAAAAY8/MnEfTFMYObc/s320/PICT1988.JPG" /&gt;You can see here my plastic piece with stamped images on it. When you're done you can either throw it away or you can even re-use it by wiping it off with a baby wipe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have fun playing : )&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4892465278190149182-7403723719177223650?l=downadirtroadscrapbooking.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://downadirtroadscrapbooking.blogspot.com/feeds/7403723719177223650/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4892465278190149182&amp;postID=7403723719177223650&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4892465278190149182/posts/default/7403723719177223650'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4892465278190149182/posts/default/7403723719177223650'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://downadirtroadscrapbooking.blogspot.com/2009/08/make-your-own-paper.html' title='make your own paper...'/><author><name>Alicia Talbot</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07638665872111635487</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_go3ZsywHitY/SgCqR2u3J3I/AAAAAAAAARg/tzVPRyRGSn8/S220/M%26Lmed.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_go3ZsywHitY/SpRbdGiYd0I/AAAAAAAAAY0/Ny2RHM3GYig/s72-c/PICT1981.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892465278190149182.post-7516430739138952207</id><published>2009-07-20T15:50:00.007-05:00</published><updated>2009-07-20T16:44:45.607-05:00</updated><title type='text'>As promised...</title><content type='html'>Here are a few pics of my Bo Bunny "Edgy" Wedding Album.

Hopefully I'll start creating lots more in the weeks to come.

I was just trying to use up some old scraps and I think it worked out well.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341263520872309586" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_go3ZsywHitY/Sh_6331Yo1I/AAAAAAAAAUU/Eg4w1_0LGvE/s320/PICT0189.JPG" border="0" /&gt;The wording says "A little birdie told me..." and in the card it says "It's your 4th Anniversary  Congrats!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4892465278190149182-126311328531699622?l=downadirtroadscrapbooking.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://downadirtroadscrapbooking.blogspot.com/feeds/126311328531699622/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4892465278190149182&amp;postID=126311328531699622&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4892465278190149182/posts/default/126311328531699622'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4892465278190149182/posts/default/126311328531699622'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://downadirtroadscrapbooking.blogspot.com/2009/05/one-for-road.html' title='One for the road...'/><author><name>Alicia Talbot</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07638665872111635487</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_go3ZsywHitY/SgCqR2u3J3I/AAAAAAAAARg/tzVPRyRGSn8/S220/M%26Lmed.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_go3ZsywHitY/Sh_5jT1XqgI/AAAAAAAAAUM/RGpplttzFrk/s72-c/PICT0378.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892465278190149182.post-4637992388768329099</id><published>2009-05-28T16:17:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2009-05-28T16:26:26.526-05:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>I've had this layout done for months but I was just waiting for a little someone to show up so I could have a picture that I could put on it &lt;lol&gt;.

I just love their itsy, bitsy wiggly toes.  I love the little wrinkles they have and that teeny weeny size that you can fit into the palm of your hands.  I just can't get enough pictures of them.  My husband thinks I'm crazy, but I know they grow so fast so I have very little time to admire them.  I've looked back at layouts I did with Preston's toes and am reminded of how cute they were.  The boys definitely have feet like their daddy's so they don't stay cute forever LOL!  (Ask Preston and if he could tell you I already call him big foot).  Here's the first layout I've done up for Lachlan's little toesies.  I just loved this line from Cloud Nine and had to bring it back for a little refresher.

I've been wanting to write down some important stories forever and since this is MY weekend off (well, as off as I can get LOL!  Lachlan is still here, but Marc and Preston went camping) I've decided that between creating pages I was going to write down some stories.  I know my memory is great and I can recall important days in my life, but I don't want to wake up one day down the road and not be able to remember it so I'm writing them down so the people who I want to share them with will be able to read them for years to come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think this has come into play more because of the stories my mom is telling me lately of when I was a baby.  Lachlan has definitely not been a walk in the park like Preston was and we were caught totally off guard.  Heck, we're still trying to figure him out LOL!  Anywho, when mom and I talk the stories about me as a baby seem to just flow.  I would have loved to hear about them as I grew up, but I don't think I would have appreciated them as much as I do now.  I love hearing about how I would sleep, things my mom would do, and other stuff.  Being a mom this time around has definitely changed me for sure.  I have two boys to take care of and usually they're both on different schedules, but even though they are, I get to spend time with each of them in their own different ways.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Need some inspiration about writing your stories?  Here are a couple of topics you can write about:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The day you were born (for those of you with children write about the day they were born)&lt;br /&gt;Me @ ___ (age goes here.  write about you now)&lt;br /&gt;Write a letter to your younger self&lt;br /&gt;Who are you like (or look like) - write about yourself or your child&lt;br /&gt;A special day - wedding, graduation, birthday&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy the art of creating and get journaling.

We did a family photo shoot where all of us wore blue bomber outfits. Daddy loved that : ) Anywho, it was our first official family photo and they turned out great, but I haven't had time to take a photo of the final result so you gals / guys will just have to enjoy the unfinished project for now.

Between packing up, selling our house, and living with my parents for a couple of months until I finally took maternity leave. Then it's been non stop chasing Preston around and cleaning up in Oxbow. I've finally started scrapbooking again and I LOVE IT!!! I have missed scrapbooking and even though I don't have all my supplies here with me (some are still in storage) I am really having fun creating again.
