Video #14 Making your own custom match ribbon

This is fun and quick technique idea. You can make any color ribbon that you have an inkpad for. All I used was the inexpensive white ribbon from Michaels. This ribbon is from the spools that they put on sale for 3/$1.00 and sometimes you can even find them for 4/$1.00. I hope you enjoy.

Video #13 Making Your Own Skittles Embellishments

I wanted to try out this project for awhile now. This video is showing how you can make your own Skittles embellishments using hot glue.

I said in my video that I would let you know how they turned out.... I can report that they turned out great. This is a must try technique. They dry really well and the little glue strings that you saw in the video come right off once they are dry. Let me know how you like them if you try to make them yourself.

Disney Layouts

Here are just a couple of Disney layouts. We went there the first week of Feb. I have just done these three pages so far. I have over 500 photos to scrap from this trip. Wow, what was I thinking taking so many pics?

This layout is my opening page for the Animal Kingdom park. I used a sheet of paper from the DCWV Safari stack. I love this paper. It is textured and really nice quality. It is also perfect for AK pictures.

This 2 page layout is from the hotel we stayed at. We stayed at the Port Orleans French Quarter. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. We have a fantastic time.

Messiest Scrapbook Room Ever?

So, what do you think. Do I have the messiest room ever?
