Ahhh... Relax.....

To me, there is nothing more relaxing than having time during my day for scrapbooking. I was having a chat recently with some friends who commented how lucky I am to have a job that is also such a source of joy to me. "Work" is definitely not the right word for what I do!

This layout of Catrina is beyond minimalist. I really wanted the photos to shine so Bazzill's dotted cardstock was a no brainer and I'm psyched that the deep purple was a great fit. Purple can be such a challenge to use!

Drumroll......

I am pleased to announce that I have been asked to join the design team for Butterfly Crafts!! I look forward to the monthly challenges being listed by our group leader, Karen. Keep an eye on my blog here for my projects and head over to the Butterfly Crafts blog to see what the these talented ladies are up to!

Frames!

Here are some custom frames I've been working on this week. The little boy frame is a client order and it really made me realize that I LOVE making projects for little boys. I have an abundance of supplies and really need to work on more of these!

Coming Out of Hibernation

Wow, I feel like I haven't put myself out there for months! Between design team work and creating items for custom clients and craft shows, I feel like I have been neglecting my Ebay customers. Worry no more! I have some new listings right now. Other items leftover from the VERY successful Apple Festival will be listed soon. One such item is this cute Princess Frame:



And please head on over to Ebay to check out my listings.... I'll make it easy for you... here is the link: http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/jeunegirlcrafts_W0QQ_dmdZ1QQ_ipgZ50QQ_sopZ12?_rdc=1

Happy Holidays!

Don't you love the look of these holiday cards? These fabulous templates are from Sweet Shoppe Designs. Contact me for ordering details. Using your own photos, I can design a card that is perfect for your family. All of the Titles that you see are able to be personalized with your own holiday message.

Take a look at all these samples.... I'm sure there is one (or two, or three) that would be perfect for delivering your holiday greetings.

More Mini Albums

As I have mentioned, I have been slacking off lately. I had very few items available for my craft shows so I have focused my efforts on creating some goodies that will be for sale at the Apple Festival (Sat Oct 3rd 10-4 pm) on Huguenot Street in New Paltz. I hope my local readers take the time to stop by at my booth while enjoying some awesome apple treats.

Crafty Times are Upon Me

It's officially fall and you know what that means.... well, ok, maybe you don't know what that means.... It means craft show season is HERE. The other day I got out my big bin of craft goodies and found........ Hardly Anything!!!!!!!! EEEEK. I must have sold most of my goodies through the year (that's a good thing) but hadn't made things to replace them (that's a bad thing) so I will be spending the next week and a half being VERY crafty.

If you have Halloween photos of your little ghoul... this album is for you:

This is a cool vintage looking Christmas album... perfect for holiday memories:

I've Been Busy

I have been super busy with some custom orders and they're finally finished. I took a risk and listed 20 custom pages on Ebay and had 2 clients take me up on the offer and both had their requests come in within a few days of each other which was "interesting". So I made 44 pages in less than a week (thank goodness for 5 day a week preschool. You'd be amazed how many pages you can make in 3 hours with no kids around).

Yes, 44 pages.... one client couldn't decide on just 20 pages LOL.
