I wanted to share these projects with you- maybe you can store the idea away until next holiday season! ☺ Some fun things we did w/ the kids class over the holidays- we made these foam magnet frames and the kids had fun embellishing them and framing their own artwork! Made great gifts too!

Make it Merry Blog Hop

2009-11-12T16:56:00.000-08:00

Thank you for visiting my blog! My name is Janelle and I live in Iowa (right near the South Dakota and Minnesota borders). I have two little girls ages 2 and 4 and my husband is a middle school band and art teacher and I'm a stay-at-home-mom! I love to scrapbook but my weakness is scrapp'n the holidays- so I'm so happy to have completed this special project! Oh, and I'm terrible at journaling so I hid it along the border! ☺

I wanted to use some new techniques I've seen lately like the paper pleating and the ruffle ribbon (thanks Georgana!) and I really enjoyed myself. Plus, I just had to use the glitter glue from one of the recent BWS kits- love those kits!! ♥♥ If you are just joining the blog hop click here to start from the beginning! I love the red snowflake paper and with my little girls I just had to add some flowers and some bling!

Thank you so much for Hopping by and Make it Merry! ♥ Your next stop on the hop is

Kid's Project

2009-07-16T06:04:00.000-07:00

My girls (ages 4 and 18 mos) made these frames in the craft room on our vacation awhile back, and I wanted to share the idea b/c I think it's fun and easy and turns out to be a great decoration or gift!

They used plain wood (some were varnished others were not) frames that you can pick up for around $1 a piece. They then used "tacky glue" (they poured some out on paper plates and let the smaller kids use paintbrushes to apply the glue!) to attach the clear flat-backed stones (the kind you buy in the mesh bags at the craft stores) all around the frame. It took awhile to dry but it dries clear and any excess glue can be washed away. The final results are so sparkly and pretty and I love that the craft ladies took pictures of the kids from that day for us to put in the frames!

I definately think we'll be doing this project again at home and maybe even for our next parent/child scrapbooking night too! (:

Kid's Project Idea

2009-06-01T03:54:00.000-07:00

My 4yo daughter loves anything crafty and this was a fun project for her-- I let her use some day-old cold coffee (tea works too!) to "dye" her coloring papers and notebook paper! She didn't soak it too long so it was a light yellow-brown shade but she had fun trying different techniques like tearing the paper and crumpling it up and folding it to see the variations.Happy Crafting!

I love this children's ribbon belt made by Chantel of My Sunshine Designs using some of the blue and white striped ribbon from my shop and A LOT of talent!!

fast:friday Cinnamon Rollies Recipe

2009-05-08T02:37:00.000-07:00

new feature on my blog << fast:friday>> a fast recipe, project, or layout ! ☺

today's fast:friday is a fun little recipe my daughters (ages 16mo and 4yo) & I made up we call

Cinnamon Rollies!

they are:
quick
easy
cheap
fun
fast
&
kid-friendly
what could be better?
oh yeah, and yummy too!

Recipe:
Refrigerated Biscuit Tubes (we used two of those small ones that come in a 4 pack for $1)
Use a Rolling Pin to flatter them out (on a floured surface works best) to make long thin ovals.
Spread (or "smear" depending on how much you want the kids to help you) with butter or margarine
Sprinkle generously with brown sugar and cinnamon-sugar
Roll em up
Place in a greased or sprayed cake pan
Bake per instructions-- about 10 minutes at about 350-degrees, until lightly browned

Enjoy!

Layered Chipboard Album

2009-05-07T01:45:00.000-07:00

Here's another project we'll be making in the summer rec youth scrapbooking class (of course, there will be lots of color choices avail. and also rub-ons to decorate the albums with and lots of fun ribbon styles too!)

I love these thick layered chipboard albums b/c they are not flimsy at all and they hold up so nice! They are covered in scrapbook-safe white paper, so you don't have to cover them completely with ink or paper if you don't want to, and you can even paint them! Plus, I'm just not a big fan of the thin brown chipboard for albums. I love the sweet life, pattern papers, and fun ribbons on this album-- plus the rings make the album even sturdier!

If you are local and want more info on the class, visit the rec website!

Happy Scrapp'n,

2009-04-27T07:44:00.000-07:00

Just wanted to share this fun, simple and quick little layout I made with you! I love the added dimension and texture from the clear acrylic frame (hard to see in this picture) and the metal paperclip and ribbon accents!Happy Scrapp'n! Janelle

Adding an extra touch to your layouts...

2009-04-25T16:15:00.000-07:00

I made this double-page Easter layout to add some family pictures and egg-hunt photos to. I wanted to show you how much a little extra touch can add to your layouts! I love using ribbons and dimension in my layouts-- so I added some aqua and brown twill ribbon from my shop to the layout and I love what ribbon adds to scrapbook layouts and projects! It's fun, inexpensive, quick and easy-- all my favorite things! ☺
Hoppy Scrapp'n! -- Janelle

Recycled Kid's Project Idea

2009-04-22T14:19:00.000-07:00

This is the fun project we'll be making at the next Parent/Child Scrapbooking Class (scheduled for June 18th through Sibley Rec) My 4-year-old daughter loved embellishing the album and using lots of little 3d trinkets on the pages since they are expandable. It's nice to have the "page protectors" too so the items all stay together and neat.

The front and back covers and some of the inside pages are made using recycled chipboard (I have large sheets of this but you can use a cereal box @ home) and the pages are made of plastic sandwich bags, a great way to use them w/o them ending up in a landfill so you can use up what you have and switch to reusable bags like these.
Happy Earth Day!! ☺ Janelle

These are some pics of my daughter in the backyard (over the past 1-1/2 yrs. we've had our backyard tore up sev. times due to electrical and plumbing repairs-- so there has been a lot of dirt and mud to play in!) with mud on her hands! I'm sure she was watering the new grass seeds, or just watering the dirt a fav. thing of hers last summer! (:

Supplies used:
Chocolate Brown Words Paper 12x12
Alphabe t Woven Ribbon (cut apart, I frayed the edges and adhered w/a tape runner)
Flower Stickers & Sticker Border
12x12 Cardstock/Cardboard sheet- recycled (woohoo!)

Snack Cracker Recipe

2009-03-23T09:10:00.000-07:00

My kids love these Ranch Crackers...so I thought I'd share my adapted recipe for them here. This is actually a 1/2 recipe (with a little tweaking) b/c I think that's a better amount to make and easier to buy the ingredients for.

Ranch Snack Crackers:
1 bag regular oyster crackers
1/2 package (1/2 envelope) of dry Ranch mix
1/2 c. oil
1/2 t. lemon pepper
1/2 t. garlic powder
1-2 T. dried Dill (we use 2 T, but we <3 dill)

Mix Oil and dry ingred. (lemon pep, garlic pow, dill, ranch) together using a whisk. Pour crackers into a 9x12 baking pan or glass dish. Whisk up the oil mix again and pour over top of the crackers, mix well. Bake slowly at about 300 degrees, for 30-40minutes. Take the crackers out every 10 minutes and stir them up. After 20 minutes you can start seeing if they are done, once they are "dry" they are done...and they don't need to brown and they bake really quick! (: Hope that makes sense, please leave me a comment if you have any questions (:

They are yummy...especially if your kids (and you!) love ranch! (: They make a good on-the-go snack and my 1-y-old loves them too (she's not old enough to chew up chex mix, so I like making this better for parties and such!).

Yum, Yum! (: Happy Snack'n! Janelle

my model

2009-03-18T17:05:00.000-07:00

My daughter (she just turned 4) has been "helping" me take pictures of new items to put on my etsy shop, and she particularly likes to help w/ the ribbons...she's a big fan, as am I! (: She usually gives them funny voices and personalities too...but that's beside the point. I had her hold some sheer ribbon in her hand so I could get a good picture of it, and that's where the "model" thing came in...now she loves being my hand-model when I take the pictures.

I'm not sure if these pictures will make it into the listings or not, not sure if the pink nail polish w/ blue sparkles will deter any shoppers... so I'm posting them here to see what you think & so all her hard work modeling doesn't go to waste! (:

And this is what my 1-year-old likes to do when mommy is trying to take pictures... hehe, then I get to use the paper for myself! (:

It's great to be an at-home mom b/c I get to be with my kids all the time and I really do (no jokes) like my daughters help with the biz (: It's great to have this time with them and I am so happy for it! --Janelle

PS-- do you like my new blog banner?? I changed it and my shop banner too!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

2009-03-17T10:36:00.001-07:00

For breakfast today to celebrate St. Patrick's Day we had gold coins (banana slices w/ yellow sprinkles), green yogurt (lime), and green scrambled eggs (kinda gross-looking I know). Oh, and my mom left a baggie of Lucky Charms so we ate those too (a first for my kiddos!). Here's some pictures...

We are teaching an after-school scrapbooking class today, so I'm off to dig for a bit of green clothing for the girls and I so we don't get PiNcHeD! (: Enjoy your day! --Janelle

Paperbag Album for daughter #2 (:

2009-03-09T19:07:00.000-07:00

I am having a parent/child scrapbook class tomorrow evening, so I made this as a sample for class. My other one is of my first daughter (click here to see the first one). I have made these for over 2 years and sold them @ craft shows and other venues and they are always a big hit and I usually sell-out. I sell them "pre-made" and ready-to-go just add your own photos for around $7.00, and I recently started making the CD Case Albums the same way and started selling those @ shows as well. I am thinking of putting these pre-mades up in my etsy shop too, what do you think? They are pretty simple and easy-to-make, and I keep them that way so the pictures are really the "spotlight" of the books. I'll be making more this week (w/o my own photos!) to take to the home show here in Sibley on Saturday (@ the elem. school from 10-4) ! Anyways, can't wait to see what creative ideas the kids in class tomorrow come up with! (: Happy Scrapp'n! --Janelle

Note: Thank you for your encouragement... I went ahead and listed a premade paperbag album in my shop, I appreciate your nice comments! (: Check it out here!

I'm in a treasury!

2009-03-08T19:57:00.000-07:00

Check out this great treasury I'm in! I'm so excited and honored to be featured, the item of mine is the 5page clear acrylic scrapbook album! (:
