Crafty catch-up!

I've been MIA for a few months because, honestly who cares? right? I actually have a really hard time keeping up a blog. I really LOVE reading blogs but keeping up with my own is kind of like work. I don't even have sponsors or any of that good stuff but it still feels like a pressure situation!

Anyways, got that off my chest.

Here's a quick round up of what I've been working on...



Online Card kid featuring Hopscotch!

I bought this kit and ended up making a few tweaks of my own to suit what I needed. You can see the instruction videos I followed at: www/basicgrey.com/pages/bg_tv">

There were 15 cards total. I made 8 last night. I had a great time and the assembly went by quickly.

Here are the rest of the cards: flickr set


Next we have my first mini album. I made it for my best friend. She LOVED it. Ok maybe she was biased since you know, we are best friends and all.







That is just a SMALL sampling of what that mini album is made of. I had so much fun making it. It took me about a month. With kids you have to sneak in whatever time you can at night, after they are asleep.

I follow Kathy Orta's blog paper phenomenon She comes up with the most amazing ideas for mini albums. I buy every tutorial she lists (pretty much) and watch her on ustream. This particular mini that I made was fashioned after her Random memory mini.

And my little monkeys!
