Papercraft Haven and More

Scrapbooking, people say it just takes too much time to create a layout, so therefore they don't start to create! I am taking things back to the basics folks, join me this year, even if this is the only layouts you do! As you can see with this layout, I used 2 colors, 1 photo and journaling boxes with handwritten words. Add alpha stickers, and you are done! Easy layout, and easy project for the next year! For those of you who have started to collect things, but haven't done anything with that stuff, this is for you more than anyone! I have been able to scrapbook on what I have available at home, spending money only when I need to! You do not need to spend a ton of money on supplies, it is the memories that you are putting down on paper, the little things! It isn't like you are going to win with the best scrapbook supplies or anything...again, it's the memories! For me, I want to document the next year, to show myself where I am at now, and where I am at toward...

Hello ladies! What a fun year we have planned here for Memories in Tyme, we want to help you to take YOUR memories and place them in tyme! Scrapbooking is such a fun thing to do, along that it really does help with your stress level, or other emotional things that might be going on as well! In the current economy, a lot of people do not have the extra money to spend on "stuff", but you want to have the same things everyone else is! Let me show you the EASY way, the way you won't have to spend a ton of money! A few years ago, while in the midst of going through a completely horrendous time, I met Lisa Bearnson at a local Scrapbook Expo that I had went to with my sister. She took 5 minutes of her busy day, gave me her email address and then Deb (my sister) and I left. We had just lost my dad to Altzheimers disease, which was 5 years to the day after my exhusband had committed suicide, so you could understand my emotions! The next February she sent her assistants Angie and M...

Altered notebooks, the cheap version! I use the composition notebooks you can purchase at Walmart for .89$ or at the Dollar store for $1! Supplies list: Composition notebook 2 sheets of 12 x 12 paper/cardstock 2 sheets of coordinating 8.5 x 11 paper Glue stick, adhesives, or hot glue gun Misc. ribbon, buttons, or charms to decorate Step one: Decide what colors will be used for the outside cover. Step two: For the color where the yellow is, cut it in half, creating 2 6 x 12 sheets of paper. Step three: Take the paper you are using (where I used the flowers), fold in half to go around the front and back side of the notebook. Using the glue stick, glue the paper down to the notebook.

Step five: The papers you cut in half, you will be glueing to the front and back cover, again, folding the excess...

For some people, they have money to purchase paint cans, in which to decorate, and put gift's in them for either birthdays, or holidays! This is my "cheap" version of the paint cans, done with a large coffee can! Items used: Basic black cardstock Ribbon in Halloween colors Paper piecings or other misc. Halloween themed items such as stickers or die cuts. Step one: Take the cardstock, you will need to use 2 sheets for a large can. Normally, I will measure the second sheet, as you will only need to use a portion of that second sheet for the can. Step two: Fold down the paper into the can. Take your ribbon, and place on the bottom portion of the can, using hot glue to tack it down. Step three: At the place where the cardstock meet, cameflauge it by placing either a paper piecing, stickers, or other items strategically. Step four: Get tissue paper for the inside of the can, place the gift on the inside of the tissue paper. This can be used as a decoration, or a gi...
