Closed but Active PaperBag Album Swap Check in Here!!!

[maria34a]

My Disney one is pants next to that

My summer ones will be a bit better - some lovely papers and things arrived today which will help - but I guess I'm just not that creative.

Mazda,
Stop it!!!! You do a GREAT job and you better stop putting yourself down!!! RIGHT NOW!!!! I will not have it!!! Remember Ladies, sometimes when you do classic and elegant, less is more. Everyone has different tastes and does things in a different way, that is why we "SWAP" to get a different Perspective on the same thing! No 2 people do the exact same thing with the exact same project, that is what makes us so unique and special!!! That is what makes our projects so unique and special. I love all our projects, because I know everyone puts so much creativity into them and we are receiving a piece of art from a friend we have never met! It just makes it that much more special to me!

Now look at what you made me do!!! I am the EVIL one and I'm getting all mushy here!!!!

Thank you Maria

DH would agree less is more- mainly because when he came home on Friday the Whole dining table was COVERED with the albums and the bits of paper, brads, ribbons etc. Not just covered, but layered. And as our table seats 8 thats a LOT of stash

I'm going to play with my chalks as well

I made a HUGE mess making the parts for the Pooh books and I still have to make the tags for the other two books. My DH set up a 6 foot table in the kids room so I can work there on these and still be around.

Maria, I will get to upload those pictures later on today. I need to go put in a load of laundry and start dinner before I get too involved in DISing.

 

[maria34a]

Thanks! Anytime you have time! When I leave work, I have to make dinner too! Also do laundry and try cleaning some of the house...

Checking in..
Still here but haven't gotten much done from when I posted earlier.. too much other stuff in the way right now... I will get these done.. really I will.. I hope! LOL

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Okay, done with the down/uploading of pictures.
Hope to finish working on my Pooh ones tomorrow.

Here is the paperbag Maria made. Is this one for the swap or one you had done before that gave you the swap idea?

[PrincessNancy96]

Nice! I like it...
It makes me feel better..because I was trying to over embellish...and I think I'm going to do okay at this after all..

AWM, are you still wanting one of my Epcot's??? I have the paper cut out to make 4 bags...so let me know!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

YES!!

Which one of mine did you want me to make for you?
Or do you want me to make up something and surprise you?

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Surprise please!!!
I hope to get the Epcot ones done while the kids are away the weekend after July 4th.. They'll be gone for 4 days... I want to get some major scrap work done around here..I told DH he had to work that week that I need MOMMY TIME!!!

 

[MazdaUK]

I feel better now too

Surely that is bigger though, or are the photos small?

 

[maria34a]

Thanks AWM for posting the book for me!!! The book is the same size you all are making, I just printed my pics smaller! I print on my own computer, so I can print any size I want! I haven't journaled yet, so there is a lot of empty space, so just ignore all that! But, yes, this is the first paperbag book I have ever done and it did give me the inspiration for this swap! I thought it was really cute! But see how you don't have to go all crazy!!! I just used one package of stickers on this book!

 

[MazdaUK]

I think its great - and I'm glad it gave you the idea for this swap!

 

[Downrivermama]

Checking in! Still plugging away. Great pics!

 

[maria34a]

Thanks DRM!!!!

 

[Faerie]

I just decided to go to the CKC Crop on the 29th so I'll have 4 1/2 hours of scrapping time. Perfect to finish these up

 

[PrincessNancy96]

I started working on a few more pages tonight.... I got C & D's pages done..and I think they look pretty cute... I found that the ideas in my head don't really work for the room we have in this format...so I'm scaling down my ideas!!!

For those who I told I would measure my pages...
They are 6" tall by 5.34" wide.

Have a great evening!

 

[nicurn]

[PrincessNancy96]

Well wishes to your DH, nicurn.. Hope he has a speedy recovery!!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

ixiedust: for your DH nicurn.

Okay, all three Pooh books are now complete. I really like the Alice-n-Pooh have a tea party one. Guess I'll have to make another one of those after I finish, Princess, Puppies, Pixar, and Mickey.
