A little baby book I created using the Teresa Collins line, Chic Bébé Boy.

This album is a baby shower gift for my friend, Lindsay. Her baby boy, Aiden is due this coming January.

I loved working with the blue, white and black. It’s a fun combination.

I’ve always been a fan of Teresa Collins – love her style. Teresa Collins lines are always so easy to create with.

Here’s a closer look at some of the details:

I really do like the black accents

Not a usual color for a baby book but it works for me.

I’m always adding buttons…not sure what it is about them.  Just love buttons.

I usually tend to run out of steam on the last pages of a mini album.

At least I finished it, right?

What do you think? I hope Lindsay likes her baby shower gift.

I’m off to work on more Christmas projects.

Teresa Collins had fabulous make-n-takes at CHA 2010.  I walked away from her booth with an entire Bebe Girl Album…all it needed was some photos and embellishments. I can’t believe how generous Teresa Collins is! Wow!

Using the make-n-take, I created a little sample album for Paradise Scrapbook Boutique (they have the paper on order). Here’s a little peek-a-boo.  Nothin’ too fancy…but fast and fun to put together!

The Bebe Girl line has fun ribbons, transparencies and chipboard embellishments to match.  I {heart} Teresa Collins!

A friend of mine, Becky, asked for a little help with some birthday presents for her sisters.

She sent me all of the supplies and I put these little recipe boxes together.

Each divider is different:

The Teresa Collins paper made this project come together very quickly.

Karen at PSB gave the T. Collins papers and embellishments as a gift at one of her scrapbooking crops.  I had made a recipe box as a sample for the PSB crop (I believe the sample gave Becky the gift idea).

I simply painted the chipboard embellishments to match the papers and cardstock.

It was a fun project! What do you think?

I finally completed the little Valentine Mini album I was working on.

I used the new Teresa Collins Line called CRUSH.

I took SO MANY dang photos of this album that I decided it would be easier to create a separate page for all of them.  If you would like to see the complete album please CLICK HERE.

Hope you like it!

I used the new Teresa Collins “Crush” paper and my Bind-it-All to create this sweet little mini album.

I love working with Teresa’s papers, they’re perfect when you need to create something special in no time.

This little book isn’t complete but I thought I’d show you a few close ups of what I’ve done so far…

I’ll share more photos when I complete the project.

Have a great day!

I always seem to have “Big Plans” for my Saturdays…I can’t ever seem to accomplish all that I want to squeeze into that one day every week.  Do you have this problem with Saturdays too?  Right now I have so many irons in the fire I think I’m going to burn the house (or my brain) down. 

Around an round she goes…where she’ll stop, nobody knows!

Yes, I know this is a pretty random post…

The above photo is a little Chinese takeout box that I covered with some of the new paper from Graphic 45’s Botanica Bella Line.  I love being on their design team, seriously…their paper is so beautiful and easy to work with!

This is the class I am teaching up at Paradise Scrapbook Boutique today:

A fun summer paper bag album, bound together with (my fave) the Bind-it-all.  Nice.

And NEXT Saturday I’m teaching a Two-page Layout using Teresa Collins - Travelogue paper.  I love to work with this paper…tons of fun and very versatile, did I say I love this paper?

The photos on the layout are from our trip to Disneyland last September…I can’t believe it’s almost been A YEAR since we went last…it seems like it was just yesterday.  Man, these days (weeks, years) just fly!

So my big plans….?

Teach, clean, create, play.  Oh, and maybe get some rose bushes planted….cross your fingers!

What are your big plans?  Love to hear ‘em!

I purchased my own Zutter Bind-it-all at the last big scrapbooking crop I attended at Paradise Scrapbook Boutique. I have REALLY enjoyed using it! I can bind whatever I want!

First things first, remember that huge mess on my desk the other night? Before I could possible start another project I had to clean it up.

Ah, much better.

Alrighty. I started with some random little ATC pages from 7 Gypsies. Then I grabbed Jenni Bowlin Tags…a bit of Teresa Collins paper, some Tim Holtz tags and the I chalked it all and punched holes in each page with the Bind-it-all!

To be completely honest, my Bind-it-all has been catching my eye for the past few days…I just really wanted to use the thing so I created a reason to do it! I’m glad I did because I ended up with this little mini journal sorta book:

Now, what to use it for…hmmm…maybe I’ll use it to write down all the cute thing my kids say…?

Because I love to give stuff away AND I love Teresa Collin’s paper…I’ve decided to give another one of these 6″x6″ mini albums away. Yup, you read that right…

If you post a comment I will enter you into the drawing to WIN THIS ALBUM! The drawing will be held next Sunday (May 24th, 2008). I will enter one comment per person per day. You may leave a comment on any blog post you wish.

Good Luck!

I just picked up Teresa Collin’s new Travelouge line while at a PSB crop this weekend.  I also purchased a BIND IT ALL (I am SO excited about it).  Seriously, this new line of T. Collins is so easy to work with…and with the BIND IT ALL you can have a complete album in no time!   The photos above are the cover of a Washington D.C. album.  I’ve been wanting to put photos of DC in an album for almost 2 years now…what a fun way to complete it!

I’ll post the “little details” from this album soon!

I hope you all had a wondeful Monday!
