Creativity In A Can

This is a gift that I created for my mom, who brings me the most inspiration and artistic gifts out of anyone I know. The artistic blood runs long in our family. This work of art was purposed to contain all of her wonderful ideas, tips, techniques and inspirtations. This can will be an heirloom to our family someday, as we will add to it generationally over the years.



Here is a close up of the tag. The image here was taken from a ceramic catalog circa 1900. Very nostalgic.

Here are page dividers and index cards. If you look closely you can see the tabs for each category of creativity. A special note is the quote I found....just love it!!

{I wish I could credit where I learned how to make these flowers. I can't seem to find it anymore. I'll keep looking and post the link ASAP. It was really easy and fun.}

Book Time!

I love this layout! I was trying out the paper folding technique I recently learned. I love how Sam curled his toes to hold the book up...so when using this as a focal point, I was careful not to crop this out! This is one of many layouts to come...all samples of my work for a client.
Please contact me if you are interested in having your precious memories preserved. I love working for my customers on their custom albums!

Funky Peace Gift Can

This darling gift can I designed is brimming with fun creativity. My daughter gave this to her "tween" friend for a birthday gift. The colors and peace signs were all the rage.

The can was also full of bright goodies. I altered a pair of flip-flops with bright tied on fabric strips and huge peace sign, included rainbow beads and earrings, and rounded out the gift with a package of rainbow twizzlers.

Like this idea?....contact me and I will design the perfect gift can for the recipient on your gift list!

New Purpose, New vision

ScrapPerfections! blog is about a year old now and 3 posts. Ooops. Totally reflective of my chaotic life. Looking back, I'm proud to say, the scrapbook studio has been cleaned and rearranged somewhat. The flower border on the walls is finally getting finished. And most important, I have still been creating and scrapbooking.

This year I have begun Scrapbooking for Others. You will see more and more about this in the future. The Lord has put it in my heart to use the talents he has blessed me with to connect with others and help families who have their treasured pictures (essentially their family legacy) stored in boxes & otherwise, get those stories on the Page and displayed for all to enjoy. If you or someone you know could benefit from my services please send me an email. I would be happy to share my business brochure outlining more details with you.

One last thing...can't leave a post without a picture...

This layout is of my fam...a few years back. Love the pic of my hunny? He was laying against a blanket with an image of a buck and it totally looked like he was the big buck. My kids got a kick out of it...so mom snapped the picture. Oh, and aren't my kids too cute??
