I can’t believe that Easter is just around the corner. It feels like yesterday when we started 2009 and now the first quarter of the year is almost over. Gawd! Time is flying so fast!
Wendy Anderson created this lovely spring treats bucket for easter:
Glue or mod podge strips of Making Memories Flower Patch paper side by side on a bucket or small tin. Embellish the bucket or tin with Making Memories Flower Patch trims and stickers. You can even use the Slice Cordless Design Cutter and shimmer alpha stickers to add a label to the front of your treat …read more

As a mad cropper, you do get tired of creating layout after layout. Good to have a wee break from it and what could be a better break than a scrapbook project?

Mia’s Exploding Box is something I’d like to do when I get the chance. It’ll be nice to have an exploding box like this to put on my desk at work so that when I’m missing my baby, all I have to do is open the box and voila, I’ve got her beautiful photos to look at:-)

I promised myself that this year, I would do more scrapbook projects and one that takes my fancy at the moment is altering everyday things. I’m such a sucker for collecting storage items and note cards even though I don’t know what I’ll use them for but I bought them because they’re so cute!

Always wanted to embellish your paper bag? Why not do it with latest Papertrey product lines by ‘Capture the Moment’
Nichole Heady says
The patterned paper on this bag uses several images from Papertrey’s new floral set. I LOVE how purple hydrangea VersaMagic ink turns out when used on kraft paper. It is so vibrant. I also used the New Canvas Palette ink. It is a soft white and really helped to tie in my accent color in a muted way.

Ribbons have always been great embellishments but I’ve never come across the use of ribbons as a main feature in any scrapbook project until Candice Palmer!
Candice says about her mini-album project
I went a little ribbon crazy with this mini-album, covering it front to back with bands of ribbon. But I love the happy combination of polka dots and stripes. How�d I get the ribbon to stay put? I used my favorite ribbon adhesive: Art Accentz�s Terrifically Tacky Tape. It�s double sided and works like a charm on all kinds of ribbon. (No, I wasn’t paid to say this. It’s true!)
