Portia's Baby Boy Album

I finally finished this album for my coworker.  It is a Kathy Orta Envelope n' card album.  I used the paper collection Baby Boy by Me and My Big Ideas (MAMBI).  Click here to see some pictures of the album.

Daily Planner for 2014

So I finished my May kit club project and I wanted to share the pictures with you all.  This is going to be my planner for next year.   I just love the way it turned out.  Kathy, you have out done yourself again.  I have followed the tutorial for the most part but I chose to use magnets for the closure instead of the D rings.  Click here to see the pictures.  Here is a sneak peak of the front cover

Crop Fest 2013

Hi there bloggers, 

I went to CropFest this past weekend,  just think of it 32 hours of cropping non stop with great friends and meeting new faces.  The scrapfest team did an outstanding job this year.  Check out their website by clicking the link "ScrapFest" under my favourite sites to the right.

Here are some photos of the event.

This was our table decor for the "Rock around the clock " theme of the event

This is Jurist and I dressing up and having fun

This is me of course

They had a few contests going on during the crop.  One was creating a card based on the sketch in the card map magazine.
This is the sketch and inspiration card that I used.

This is my design based on the above sketch and card

 This was a Layout contest to "Show us your Mojo"  We had to make this layout using the paint chips as inspiration for colour.

Below is my version of the layout

These are some of the "make n'takes" that we did

This was what we made in Virginia Nebel's "Christmas Card Gift Box Set" class

Life gets in the way sometimes

Hi Everyone,

I am sorry it has been so long since I posted something to the blog.  Life has as they say gotten in the way.  I have been working on a project for a friend and can't wait to share it with you all.  Look for some pictures towards this coming weekend.  "Your invited"  will be the hint for this project.  

Here is a sneaky peaky for this project

I'm back from the CK Convention in Lancaster PA

Hey everyone,
I just got back form the CK convention in Lancaster PA yesterday evening.  What a blast.  That was a really great weekend spent scrapbooking with my sister and friend.  I learned some great techniques that I previously had an idea about but really didn't know how to do them.  I am rally glad I went and am looking forward to going again next year.

Here are some picture that I wanted to share with you all.

Father's Day Cards

Hi Everyone, Just thought I would share some card I made this weekend for Father's Day.

Hi Everyone,

Here it is, the video of the travel documented journal I made for my sister.   Enjoy!

Hi Everyone,
It is Monday morning at 1030 and I have just had a class with Anthony from Apple to teach me how to create videos that I can upload to my youtube channel.  It was great.  I can now add several different features to my videos; fading in and fading out, adding text and music.  This is so cool.  I am woking on posting a video for the travel documented album that I made for my sister.  Stay tuned everyone.

Andrea

I have posted some videos

Hi Everyone, 
Since I am still in learning mode, I have just figured out how to post video's on youtube.  I invite you to check them out.  These first three are baby albums I made last summer for friends and family.  Here is the link http://www.youtube.com/user/jazzflavs Please check it out and leave me a comment to tell me what you think.

Thanks

Travel Documented Journal

Hi everyone, 
So my sister finally received the journal last Wednesday evening.  She loved it.  I am so very happy about that.  I know she is going to have a wonderful time on her cruise and now she has a chic and stylish journal to document her travels in.  I have posted some pictures in the travel documented journal tab above.  Please check it out and leave me some comments about it if you wish.

Thanks everybody,

Andrea

Hey there bloggers,
So I finished the travel journal for my sister and sent it to her on Monday.  She should get it today so I will post pictures of it after I am sure she has looked at it.  I am going to try to post the video that I did of it providing I can figure out how posting videos works.  Stay tuned.  Here is a teaser -- the front cover and a side view of the inside.

I am online!!!!

Hi everyone, 
I am new to blogging and wanted to introduce myself.  My name is Andrea and I have been crafting since 2002.  I love all things related to paper crafting.  I plan to use this blogging site to share my love of crafting with paper.  I have made a few albums and I like to make cards as well.  There are many ladies and gentlemen that craft and serve as great inspiration to me.  

I thank you all for what you do.

Andrea
