Sunday Scrappin' #9

I've succumbed to peer pressure, but in this case it's a good thing. My bff who enjoys scrapping as much as I do joined a weekly scrappy blog carnival and now I'm joining in on the fun too. I'm hoping that this will be a great motivator to get my but in gear with all that I have to catch up on. My scrappy list is a long one. I had planned on catching up while my husband is away but between moving and holidays and vacations I haven't found very much time. So here's hopin!

The way this works is you show your "ta-das" and "to-dos" for the week. Which sounds like I get to show off what I have worked on and then write up a list of what I want to accomplish scrappy wise. There's also a bonus question that I'll answer at the end. So here gos.

My "ta-das" weren't done this week but are the most recent scrappy stuff I've worked on. I was waiting to post pictures to make sure everyone received their gifts before seeing them on here.

This is an altered paint can I made for my bff for her birthday. I filled it with some fun scrappy stuff I hoped she would like. It was so much fun to make and I look forward to making more.

These I added pictures of my kids in Santa Hats but forgot to take a picture of the finished product. They are decorative wall hangings, and I made them for Christmas decorations. When I added the photos I did with photo corners so next year I can send the recipients updated Christmas pictures of the kids. These were given to my mother in law and one of my grandmothers. (You can click on pictures to enlarge if you'd like).

Now for my "to-dos". Oh boy, like I said I have A LOT of catching up to do but before I can even get started with scrapping I need to get some supplies and organize my stuff, so that's what my list is about.

• visit new scrappy store and restock cardstock (get ideas for new pages)
  
• organize patterned papers by category and solids by color
• go through embellishments and toss what I have held onto 'just in case' and have yet to use it.
• find storage for larger items - paint cans/lunch pails, etc
• write out list of scrappy pages to do in Lydia's album - finish before she's 2!

And here's the bonus question: If you could only do one kind of paper crafts for the rest of your life, which craft would you pick? This is an easy one for me to answer - scrapbooking. My favorite part of it is recording our family. BUT in my world altered items are included in that. Thanks for stopping by!
