We have been having some behavior issues and after seeing this spinner on Pinterest I knew i needed to make one for our house, using my scrapbooking skills. So I got to work in Photoshop and came up with this...
I used this new kit UnPerfect from Tracie Stroud Designs and Kami of Ziggle Scraps. It was so fun to make and get creative again -- and bonus that it will make life easier (hopefully). I just finished it last night and we already had to use it this morning!
I actually exist still! It has been awhile since I have been crafty but I have two projects – the other I will post next. We have been busy getting adjusted to having two girls in school, me volunteering more and the girls adding extra curricular activities.
These Walls from Laura Banasiak Lamination Film Magnet E6000 adhesive Photo Squares Font on card - Traveling Typewriter Font on preview - WM_Kamikazi from WM[squared]
After printing the images I simply cut the hi bubble out and laminated it (since I wanted to have it double as a magnet). Once laminated I attached it to a magnet with E6000 craft glue. Then attached it to the card with a photo split so it can be removed once the recipient gets the card. I usually use foam adhesive to give the dimension but you can see that the magnet achieves this.
Wow… 19 weeks into the year. While I am doing better than I have with other projects I am still behind with this. I give huge congrats to those who are doing this paper as I would still be back at like week 4 or 5! I will work on my pages later tonight and hopefully get them posted!

What can you print? How about a subway art picture for Mother’s Day, for teacher gift, for graduate, wedding gift or baby shower gift or if you have all of that already taken care of (WTG!) get a head start on Father’s Day!
Hope that everyone had a great National Scrapbook Day – we were camping for the weekend but I still had a great weekend! My scrapbooking time will be increasing (hopefully) and I will be able to post more of my pages here. While I do not plan to have a set blog posting schedule now that I am not designing I will continue to post my Project Life pages each Tuesday and hope that you will continue to link up your digital pages for others to see as well. If you would like to see more posts from me in the future you can check out my Shelf Reliance blog – www.thrivefoodhomestore.blogspot.com – right now we are having a fabulous sale on the Harvest, water bottles and vegetable package!
Here are some of my pictures for this week – no pages yet since I was camping and my computer is still something I am getting used to it isn’t as easy for me to create a page yet!

And can I just say that I now love Live Writer even more – I just found a way to add multiple pictures to my posts at once!!!! I simply dragged them from my drop box folder and said to put them directly in the post! So exciting when you discover neat tricks! {I may be the last to know this but just in case!} Oh and if you don’t use Live Writer already – you should!
Here is to hoping I get my actual pages done sometime after I wake up today! In the mean time – link up your pages!

Sorry gals I am trying to get the PNGs for this but after my desktop crashed last Saturday I am using my laptop with CS5 (was using PSE) and some things I just do not know how to do yet!
I don’t have an example for summer but this banner template would be cute for Spring or Summer!
