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 ...

 

 

 

 

 

Frightful Mini (1st of my Noteworthy Mini Album Series)

This is the first FREE mini ablum tutorial in my NOTEWORHTY SERIES ... The albums in this series are a collection of mini ablums that I have created over the last ten years, in my spare time, between having and raising my five children.  I will be posting one each month for the next 12 months ... I have some surprises in store, so stay tuned. :)

Here is the link for the video... until I figure out how to post it on here :)

And here is the link for the tag top templates mentioned in the video.

Here are few more examples of how fun this album can be ...

 

Gatefold Occasions Mini Album (Oct Ladies Night)

I have been MIA for a bit ... finalizing all the details to my website.  And yes, it is up and ready!

www.sharinashack.com

 

However, I am still teaching mini ablum classes locally, here in Cedar City, Utah.  This months "Ladies Night" mini album is called the Gatefold Occasion Mini.  It can be made using any paper or theme you choose (as with most of my albums), but I've done it up for this fun Halloween season.  As usual, it is packed with pockets, flips, flaps, and tags.  Join me this Thursday evening, October 24th from 6-9pm at JoAnns.

 If you are unable to attend but would still like to make this album, pop on over to my website, where you can purchase the pattern there and create it on your own time.  All patterns are pdf format and have written directions, as well as, photos for every step.  Here is the link for this pattern.  Happy scrapping!

 

 

SharinaShack.com Website is Ready!!!

I am so very excited to announce that at LONG last my website is finally up and ready!!!

www.sharinashack.com



 Now available is my photography information, a number of mini album tutorials, some digital collections and there titles/tags/notes, as well as a couple hybrid mini albums.  I'm particularly excited about the hybrid projects because they are new to the scrapbook and digi scrapbook community.  These albums are a mix between traditional scrapbooking and digital scrapbooking.  To say it briefly, the album itself is created using traditional scrapbooking supplies, but the pages are done digitally, printed, then cut out and pasted into the traditional album (to see an example visit this link).  I have a great idea for a Christmas album coming up...

To celebrate this grand occasion I am also posting a new mini album series on you tube.  It is called the Noteworhty Series.  Every month I will be instructing a FREE mini album, so pop on over and check those out each month.  You can reach those tutorials at this link.  Or search for sharinashack or the Noteworthy Series on you tube.  There is also a link to my you tube channel at the top of my website.

I am so excited for all this ... I can't decide what to do next ...LOL!  For now, happy scrapping!

Gated Album -Sept. Ladies Night

 

The kids are back in school and fall is on it's way (my favorite season)!  The Ladie's Night project for this month is a 'gated' style album (pages open on both the left and right for viewing).   Inside  the album I will be teaching you how to make a corner pocket page, and I will share some other fun ideas on what to add in your pcoekts.  Join me for Ladies Night at JoAnn's in Cedar City, Utah on

September 19th from 6-9 pm.

 

 

My Vintage Camera and Mini Sneak Peak

 

This project has been sitting in my head for 6 months now ... and I finally did something about it!  It turned out better than I hoped.  I used some specialy papers from JoAnns (looks like leather), and BoBunny "Mamma Razzi" paper line for the album.  Also, it is covered, inside and out, with Tim Holtz Alterations metal gadgets.  I haven't figured out the closure for the back of the camera yet, but the mini is stored in the back. 

 

Inside, I used the 'polaroid' and 'film strip' ideas to create the layout of the mini.  I wanted to make a mini to tell my amazing photography journey these last 4 years.  Still need to write the tutorial for these last two projects (camera and school house).  Note: my website is coming along nicely and I am ever increasingly excited for it to start!
