Layered Chipboard Album

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,

Summer Layout

We are going to be making these summer 12x12 scrapbook layouts in youth rec scrapbook class in June...and the students will be able to fill in their summer activities as they happen and add photos too!

Supplies Used: Summer Calendar, Reversible Rust Paper Pack, Foam Letters, Memories Page Kit, Sweet Life Page Kit, Solid Twill Ribbon, Rust Brown Ink Pad.
You can see a sample layout made w/ photos and journaling here. If you are in the Sibley are and would like more info on the youth scrapbook class visit the Rec website for details. I love that I have a summer 2009 page ready-to-go! I'll have to post at the end of the summer when the pictures and events are all filled in!
Happy Scrapp'n, Janelle

Recycled Kid's Project Idea

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

Great New Papers!

I love these new papers I have in from Scrappy Cat, they are reversible with either a patterned or coordinating solid on the reverse. So fun and funky...just had to make a great page using one of the new papers and I'll post that later on!

Our Youth Scrapbook class snow make-up date will be Tuesday, Dec. 2nd @ 3:30

Check back soon -- Janelle
Here is a fun layout using the Scrappy Cat papers (we are making these Story layouts in our Youth class next Tuesday)...

Love this NEW product!

Here are some pictures of a completed Scrapbook-in-a-Tin project...

I love the versatility of this product. I had a fun time putting it together (quick & easy, big plus!) and I love the colors and styles, but it's also so great for younger kids and teens! Another plus, it stores in the slim TIN so you can through it in your purse (or grandma's) as a great, durable, brag-book to take along! Makes a great gift too!

Join us on October 30th for a Parent/Child class making these great tins @ the middle school in Sibley. Contact me for more details on the class or to purchase a Scrappy Cat Scrapbook-in-a-Tin, available in a variety of styles, all about 5-inches! jonesj@hickorytech.net

Happy Scrapp'n! (: Janelle
