I discovered a lady by the name of Marion, the other day. She has many different video tutorials for some of the most unique projects I’ve ever seen!! They are to die for cute, and super functional!! I showed one a few days ago, and had to show another one.Today the one I choose is called the paper bag album. As I was looking through her tutorials, this one definitely caught my eye. The name intrigued me so I decided to watch it! The album is super easy to make and the outcome is FABULOUS!!! I CANNOT wait to try this out for my self!! You wont have to go buy any materials! And you will not be disappointed!
I have fallen in love with this page by Marion! She does such a good job with making her work extremely unique! In this tutorial she even splatter paints!! I love her creativeness and couldn’t resist using one of her videos for today’s media entry. I love how you could make the exact same page for a girl. And the page doesn’t even have to be for a baby. This layout would work for any age!!

Don’t we all love the power of the Internet! I have been using YouTube to find new ideas. you would be amazed at some of the adorable and innovative ideas i found just by putting simple keywords into YouTube searches. I love this rusty pickle idea! Rusty pickle is one of my favorite manufactures.I also am a huge fan of acrylic right now! I love how versatile it is, and how cute it can many any project look. I love how many different products you can use along with acrylic to enhance it. This video does a great job of showing this! Enjoy!! Kaitlyn

This project is too adorable!! I love the line, and the way the incorporate the slice to make it perfect! What would we do without our personal die-cut systems!!
Hope you all are doing great!! And that you have a fantastic Saturday!!
Today I come to you guys with a new Basic Grey page. I absolutely fell in love with this page as soon as I saw it! What a perfect layout showing the accomplishments of a young child, working hard towards one more step in the growing up process. Everyone goes through these moments. So whether it’s a first day of school, a loose tooth etc. this layout is perfect for those major accomplishments. In the layout and directions below, you put different letters from the Lime Rickey monogram stickers, and put them onto the 7â€x12†piece of Deep Blue. This works great for the school related pages, but what takes away from the point of other non-school related accomplishments. My suggestion? Instead use a favorite stamp and lime green paint, or some other element stickers. That way you still have the cute, and innovative background paper, while not distracting the viewer from the real theme of your page! Enjoy Scrappers!
