Scrap Scrap Scrappin’

 

 

I am the biggest slacker as of late. Ok I’m not gonna lie, I pretty much have always been when it comes to starting projects and finishing within my own timeline. One of my bestest friends got married this summer in Vermont (as you probably already know from reading my previous posts) and I decided to make her a little scrapbook of some of her pictures, just to have as a memoir kinda deal. I got the idea after seeing Elise Blaha’s post where she used the Russell and Hazel mini binder and I loved it, so I wanted something similar. I started it almost right after we got back from VT, and planned on giving it to her within the next month…well 4 months later, I finally finished it.

WHO DOES THAT?? oh yea, me.

I gave it to her and her husband as a Christmas gift. It proved to be harder than it sounded in my head, but I was definitely happy with the outcome. Here are some pictures I took before I gave it to her. Her colors were orange, yellow, brown and creme. I started by cutting the pages to the appropriate size and sort of winged it from there…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All done! I was so relieved when she opened it and liked it. :)

 

 

other than that, I’ve been so stressed with school. It always seems like I have a love/hate relationship with the final week(s) before breaks. Christmas break, Spring break, Summer break. There’s always a finals week before that kills it for me. NEVERTHELESS I have a class tomorrow night and then I’m freeeeeeee. But for now, I need to get back to finishing some projects.

 

Only 8 days until Christmas!

lazy Saturdays.

Last year, I made a cushy iPod Nano case for my nano, that I love. It turned out cute and it fit into my purse perfectly. see here (forgive the iphone pic.)

 

so I figured, why not? I’ll make an iPhone case out of some left over felt and save myself $20! Then I took it a step further and embroidery seemed like a reasonable option. Well, I [tried to] make an iPhone cozy for my phone today. I must say I wasn’t pleased, though I had the awesomest of intentions! haha. It was SUPPOSED to be a dandelion, and I had a lovely vision in my head, right? I’m going to try again I think. aaand I promise it will be a million times better, scouts honor?  

 

HA! go ahead, say it. it looks more like mushroom/flower/ i don’t even know what to say.

but I will update, when i redo. LOL. 

Although my cozy execution didn’t turn out, my awesomest [<— i’ve been using that word a lot lately.] friend Ashlan came over, I got a iced pumpkin spice latte and we got apples to make apple crisp (SO good.) then we watched Madea Goes to Jail (which I thought was hilarious. I’m a sucker for Tyler Perry movies!). perfection. 

:)

 

Have a wonderful labor day weekend, darlings.
