Happy Friday & Scrapbook Pages to share….

Finally was able to get photos of My 12 x 12 pages! Hopefully they will look fine!  This was a class that I had here at my house. The Lay-outs were inspired by Swaps that I’ve done in the past! I changed some of them up. Once I got going it started getting easier.  Been wanting to get back into Scrap-booking again, so this class was a jump start! ; ) Enjoy!

Double Pocket Bag

I finally sat down and figured this EASY purse out!  I saw the tutorial on SCS and meant to do this awhile ago and kept getting sidetracked.  But finally did it and can’t believe how easy it was Click  HERE for instructions.  You can add cards in the pockets, candy, even a gift card! Super fun!  Still working on my photos of my 12 x 12 pages, will hopefully post those later. ; )

Super Cute & Easy Nugget Purse

Ok, I’ve wanted to post this for awhile now, I am obsessed with these little purses that I saw here EbethOnline So adorable and easy to make and they fit 2 nuggets in them.  If you have the 6 x 6 pad of SU Designer Series Paper, you can use your whole sheet and have no left overs. How you ask? Start by cutting a 1 x 6 strip, you have a 5 x 6 piece left cut that to make (2) 3 x 5 pieces.  The 1 x 6 strip you cut into 1 x 3 inch strip which will wrap around your nuggets! Voila, no scraps!  If you would like to see a visual please leave me a comment and I’ll post it. I’m so visual that pictures do help. Enjoy!

REVISION: I Forgot to mention that I used Velcro Dots to close the Holders. 1/2 of one.  Sorry about that!

Ok, are these to stinkin’ cute or what? I’m sending some to my Downline who are out of state and my Downline that is here will get these! As I said if you would like a visual as to how I cut the 6 x 6 don’t hesitate to leave me a comment or send me an email.  I don’t mind posting them at all!
