Papercraft Haven and More

Front and back cover       I love Easter - especially when my kids were little and they got fun Easter baskets filled with candy and goodies!  I always loved going overboard not only on their baskets, but also getting them outfits and shoes too!  Being a single mom of 3, made it hard to do what I wanted, but I tried anyway!  I didn't go to church a lot, or take my kids to church... but I sure did like to dress them up like when I was a little girl!  This album will be shown half today and then half tomorrow, so make sure you check back and see the rest of the fun project - pages 10 - 19!          With this project, I wanted a place to keep track of the fun pictures taken on Easter.  Tomorrow's post will have the rest of the album for you to see, created from stamps and paper!  I use what is available to me - and try not to spend a lot of money on things I don't know what I will use them for!  I like...

I used a basic heart punch with red buttons in the middle of them for the two photo matt's, and added embellishments where it needed. The journaling was all done on the computer, and ...

This layout was made very quickly, wanting to showcase the photos, not anything else.  Since I didn't have a lot of embellishments to use for this one, in the colors I wanted to use, I chose to use a simple star punch to accent things.  This is a 30 minute or less layout for sure!  When I started scrapbooking, I chose to scrapbook the photos that were more recent, instead of choosing photos from long ago.  The problem for me was trying to come up with journaling, or remembering things from that long ago to put on my layouts.  I worked on my younger childrens albums, while leaving my oldest sons album alone.  Now I regret that, as my memory about that time isn't as good as it is now...I can't remember the little things as much as I can now!     This layout can be recreated in many different ways, with a child, or change the title and do a layout about the love between you and your spouse, or a birthd...
