March Scrapbook Club

So, I host a club with some of my sister's friends once a month. We make a 12x12 layout and three cards. It's a lot of fun and I've made some cool new friends. Usually I make just the cards with some friends at work, but with spring intersession right in the middle of the month, we'll be skipping card club this month. Here is what is on for March's club.

Late Niter

Last night me and some friends from my ward (and my last ward) went to Scrapbooks Etc. for the late niter. We had a great time. Of course, I didn't get to all of the projects I brought, but the ones I did get to turned out great. I wish I could show all my stuff, but one project is a gift for a friend, so I'll future date it and it'll pop up by the time she should have seen it. But I can show my gift for my St. Patrick's Day swap. It seems like she doesn't have a blog, so I'm hoping she won't check out mine. I'm mailing it off tomorrow, so if she does see it, oh well! The surprise will be a few days early.

The paper I used wasn't even supposed to be St. Patrick's Day, but the stuff they did have left, uh, something to be desired. So I found this line and thought it worked great! My friend Taina (the creative genius she is!) came up with the title and I die cut all of the shamrocks at the store. The hope is she'll fill it with pictures and I included little tags that say "I'm so lucky for..." So on one side she can journal about the special thing and on the other she can stick a picture. I do have more pictures of it, but don't have the patience to load them, so I'll just put in one picture of a page. If you want to see more let me know and I'll email them to you.

It is so cute in person and I'm so proud of how it turned out. I hope she loves it!

Separation of Church and State

After a few weeks of pondering and some deep discussions with my blogging mentor (my aunt), I've decided to start another blog that is just my crafting stuff. This way, I have a clear separation of family and my hobbies. I'm not sure if I have enough exciting things that are just family related to post, but I'm going to try. And those of you out there in blogging land are more than welcome to check both blogs if the other one starts to bore you! Happy blogging!
