She is a self-proclaimed collector of shoes.

Lorene will be leading us in a really fun make and take with rub ons and bling to alter our glue glider pros! no excuse for taking the wrong one!

Here are the rest of the projects from our May 2009 meeting with special Guests Jenny Doh, Jana Holstein and Cheryl Waters. These women shared all things Sommerset with us and explained how the "getting published" process works. Cheryl provided an adorable tea dyed tag make and take with lots of cute ephemra. It was a wonderful meeting!

I cannot figure out how to make blogger stop turning my photos. I have even tried manually rotating them before I upload but for some reason, it still rotates them so if you have a rotating screen, you may want to try that :) Or just tilt your head a little :)

I will use photoshop to create the post next time so they are all straight. actually, next time I will take the photo of the person who created it holding the project! then we will know whoes is whoes because I forget :(

Early bird Scrapbook club projects!!

Hi There!

The Webster's pages Magicalwishes paper was the true inspiration for these plaques for my Mom and Mother-in-law. I used the paper for background and to finish off the back of the crackled, distressed plaques. I cut out an extra flower and the fairy as added 3-D embellishments. It was great fun.

These ladies will be adding to the already fabulous atmosphere of this exclusive club. If you have not got recieved the magazines yet seriously, they are amazing!!

Somerset Memories and Stampers' Sampler. We will be diving into my favorite type of crafting - the vintage altered world! Of course, no matter what the theme of the cycle, everyone makes their projects their own.

The best part about Scrapbook Club is seeing all the amazing projects people create with the kits, and the camaraderie. Here are projects from last months meeting. They kits were full of animal and food related paper and embellies. So much fun! I can't remember who all the projects belong to! You can email me if you see yours here and I dont have your name under it. And sorry but this stupid blog spot is turning some of the photos and I can't figure out if there is a way to rotate them!
