Birthday Scrapbook

Here is a birthday scrapbook I made for a friend.  It is just a simple scrapbook.  I used a lot of Cricut Cartridge frames and stickers.




And I want to send a special thanks to Viv http://doggonecrazy-viv.blogspot.com/, Jeni  http://jeniflipflop.blogspot.com/  , Kelly http://sandcastlestamper.blogspot.com/ and Tammy  http://tammy-tammyspot.blogspot.com/ for always putting a little comment on my blog.
These girls have great blogs too and the best part is that they post A HECK of a lot more than I and they're really good with the Copic/Prismacolor pencils.
Thank you all for your comments and support... and your all around dog-friendly spirit.

My 2011 goal is to take a sewing class. The sewing machine intimidates me.  (So does the Cuisinart for that matter).   So  many levers and buttons and I fear I'll stitch my fingers together. I believe however, with the right instructor, even I can sew.  I see some of you stitch on your cards.  What a great little touch. 
Secretly, my main incentive to learning to sew is that I want to try to make simple, form fitted outfits for my dogs.  I'm sure it is harder than I think to make an outfit for a dog (maybe I'll start out with capes-- haha)  but maybe by December 31, 2011, I will have made something that I won't be embarrassed to show you all.

  1. Aww! Cute scrapbook, what a cool idea for a gift! And thanks for that thank you!
    As for the sewing machine...do NOT be afraid, they can sense your fear and take advantage! I'm more scared of superglue myself, have managed to glue 2 fingers together! LMAO!
    And the dog outfits....I've made a few , even made a peaked cap for little Vinnie to wear with his club coat and that was sooooo fiddly. And the dogs never fit the pattern sizes either!
