This is the link for the Matchbook Mini video

 It's a great new year, the air is cool and crisp, and it is the season for snow!

 

This video shares how to make a quick, easy matchbook style mini.  You can do it up with your traditional scrpbooking supplies, or you can scrapbook it digitally (shown at the end of the video).

This is the link for the 6 FREE 5x5 Winter Chills Digital Downloads spoken of in the video.

Here's another example this mini scrapbooked traditionally ...
 

 

Happy Scrapping!

 

Elf Cottage

 

Here is the link to the pattern for this cottage and the mini album that goes inside it!

 

This was my project the day AFTER Christmas, lol!  So it's kinda late for the holidays.  However, I will be writing the pattern during the next week or so and, for those of you who are local to Cedar City, Utah, I'm thinking about teaching this house for the April class (it would be a 6 hour deal on a Saturday probably).  For those who are local to Cedar City, I AM teaching this cottage and mini album on Saturday, April 12th (time to be announced),  instead of Christmas themed though, I am doing a fairy cottage (look for pictures to come soon and a revised pattern as well). 

 

 

Door opens and shuts...

 

There is a mini album that goes in the house as well ... coming soon!

Book Organizers

 

Supper fun oragnizer idea from Olga Strunk of the Graphic 45 Design Team 2013-14.  I revised it a little bit, but made my own.  I love how the books can stand in a row, however, for those times when I only need the stuff in one of them it's easy access and doesn't take over the whole desk.  Great idea for holding little items for specific projects as well, but looks great.  Thanks for the great idea Olga.

 

Here's the link if you want to watch it and make your own...

Gift Giving Mini Album

 

Merry Christmas!  It's the season to give gifts and this month class at JoAnn's is just that ... a great GIFT!  It not only looks like a gift, but inside there are more gifts that can hold picture and journaling of all you favorite holiday memories.  The class will be held on Dec. 12th, 2013 from 6-9pm at JoAnn's in Cedar City.  We will be making the cover, the inside pages, and I will be showing you how to make the large bow on top, the bow on the inside, the small loopy flower, and the accordian flower.

 

As always, if you can't make the class, visit my website www.sharinashack.com and pick up a pattern.  You can make it whenever you can squeeze in 5 or 10 minutes of time throughout the season :) Here is the link for the Gift Giving pattern.

 

This album would work well for a December daily, a 12 Days of Christmas, or to hold those Elf on the Shelf pictures.  There are 24 spots for journaling tags and or photos, AND it serves as a home decor piece as well. Happy scrapping! 

Expanded CD Case_NotewothySeries _Dec2013

 

The you tube video for this super quick, super simple mini album is now up :)   Here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFzPm1m-SGY

I LOVE this album ... because in only three short pages you can show the entire holiday season.  Yes, the entire season!  How you say?  Add a couple of you favorite photos to the album and burn the rest to a CD or DVD to share with family and friends.  This album would make a great gift! 

 

Also, this album can be created using traditional scrapbooking methods (designer paper and cardstock) and works excellent for those of you who DIGITALLY scrapbook as well.

 

 

 The album here was created using my Gingerbread Collection.  To make it even easier for you to create this I've done all the work, in the Gingerbread Expanded CD Case Mini Album.  All you need do is drop your favorite pictures in and print the files. Also, you can purchase the Templates for the Expaneded CD Case and use this same idea with any paper and theme or season you desire.  This method saves time, paper, and money! 

 

The album shown here was made using the traditional scrapbooking method.  Other great ideas for this album include: new baby, wedding, summer season, year in review, etc. 

 

Enjoy!

Fall File Folder Mini

 

Here is mini album for this months Ladies Night and JoAnn's.  It is on November 21st form 6-9pm  (sign up at JoAnn's).  Fall is my favorite season and I love all the textures and bright colors.  In the class we will be creating the album AND making some of the fun embellishments, including the die cut items, yah!  We always have so much fun, join us!  If you can't join us that night be sure to pick up your pattern for this quick fun album on my website at www.sharinashack.com ... here is the link for this album.  The pattern includes written instructions and pictures for each step (pdf download).

 

As always this album is loaded with flips, flops, pockets, and tags. 

Flip Flop Album (2nd video in Noteworthy Series)

Here is the second you tube video in my FREE mini album series.
 

This album is made using every day paper bags, or lunch bags.  However, I also discuss how to alter the size of your albums to fit the paper bag size you have.  It also features a fun beaded binding, but would also work well with the Stack the Deck binding by Laura Denison. 

Be sure to check out my website for new products ... a whole line of interconnected Christmas ones ... coming in a few days!  Solutions for both the traditional and digital scrapbooker.

Here are a few more sneak peaks with the Stack the Deck binding...

 

or with the beaded binding system shown in the video ...
